Creating a Balance of Strength, Healing and Love

Our life force energy brings to us the power of light by which we “see” the spiritual truths. This light embodies strength, healing and love. It is incorporated in our field of energy as the light that shines from within and is the light by which we live in the physical world and see in the spiritual realm. This light allows us to have a deep abiding bond to the nature of all that exists.

Calling in this light force energy and balancing this light allows us to focus on abundance, health, unconditional love, pleasure and ease. We will need to develop these qualities within ourselves by keeping our life force energy balanced between a good work ethic and giving ourselves permission for delight and pleasure.

Health is vitality and resilience and comes from our life force energy. Health means we have regenerative ability and can create reserves of this energy for times of challenge. Being healthy requires a willingness to move and live the life of the body. Learning to love the body, just exactly as it is, this is the gift of a healthy and loving mind and heart.

Our levels of unconditional love, brings healing to everything we do and is behind every experience we have. Our ability to love our self, forgive the past and honor our needs defines who we are. It is through unconditional love for ourselves that we bring in the life force energy and the forces of healing into our lives. It implies we love ourselves without reserve or doubt.

Ease and pleasure fuel our well-being; by providing joy, and both are essential components for a healthy physical life. They are the ways we relax, let our hair down and have fun. We might want to see them as not an end in themselves but rewards for hard work and responsibility. Living your best life requires finding the middle ground; the balance of self-love and discipline.

Prosperity and abundance reflect a belief in our innate worth to be loved, blessed and fully supported in life. Spiritual teaching says money and love come from the all that is. Allowing prosperity to come into your life reflects a belief that you are worthy of receiving your good. Abundance reflects your right to pleasure and joy while living your best life.

It takes both will power and emotional intelligence to create our best life. May we all live with healthy guidelines that encourage us, ones that support ourselves and support our spirit and may we all realize that gentleness, tenderness and love are the attributes we need to create and enjoy the fruits of life. …Love and light Christina

Now Is the Time ……. “WE Bloom Where We Are Planted”

The time to blossom is now, not sometime in the future. Having a vision for our future that differs from our current circumstances can be inspiring and exciting. There are no guarantees in this life, so when we hold back we do so at the risk of never fully blossoming.

This present moment always offers us the ground in which we can take root and open our hearts now. What this means is that we live fully, wherever we are, not hesitating because conditions are not perfect, or we might end up taking on too much, or we haven’t found the time. But this notion that we have to hold back our life force now in order to find happiness later doesn't really make sense. What might really be happening is that we have a habit of presenting life with a set of conditions—ifs and when’s that must be fulfilled before we will say yes to the gift of our lives.

Now is the time for each of us to bloom where we are planted, overriding our tendency to hold back. Now is the time to say yes, to be brave and commit fully to ourselves, because until we do no one else will. Now is the time to be vulnerable, unfolding delicately yet fully into the space in which we find ourselves.......Love and Light, Christina

Light is Who We Are, Love is How We Share it....

We all desire to be loved - and if possible - unconditionally. We need to feel that others accept us, respect us, admire us and love us. When we feel that others do not love or respect us, we feel pain, rejection, loss of self-esteem and even insecure and fearful - in other words - unhappy.

Deep down inside in the core of our being, we equally need to feel love for others. When we do not experience love for others, we do not feel connected to them. We feel separate, lonely, alienated and sometimes fearful.

Love aligns us with our higher self. Love may begin as a feeling of attraction, but eventually becomes a state of identification and unity. On the emotional level it is the basis for positive and healthy energy exchange between humans and beings of all types. When are loved or feel love, we experience an energy connection that relaxes, rejuvenates, affirms and heals us allowing us greater access to our true spiritual and magnificent inner being.

Love brings out the greatest and highest aspects of our being. It breeds compassion, understanding, forgiveness, selflessness, courage, healthy love-based-sacrifice and ultimately transcendence of our mental and emotional limitations, allowing us to overcome programming’s and fear. Ultimately, love frees us from ignorance and allows us to experience our true spiritual self.

The opposite of love is not anger nor hate, but rather ignorance and fear. If we examine the moments that we lose our love, we will find that we are being controlled by attachment and fear.
Why does love have this effect on us? One explanation is that, in reality, we are not these bodies but actually immortal souls who temporarily identify with these bodies in order to develop and perfect our ability to express our divine nature while focused in and expressing ourselves through these bodies. Our true nature is in fact love, peace, wisdom, selflessness and all other higher human qualities.

We consider the values important and absolute, because in fact they are our true inner nature. We seek to experience love, because we are reminded of our true inner nature which is love. We seek peace and do not like the opposite of peace, because we are actually peace - within. We consider justice and equality to be absolute values because they express our highest nature which is already a reality in the core of our being, but not yet a reality in our mind, words, emotions and actions.

We seek love, peace, justice, and unity, because we are in fact all of these. We seek ourselves. Thus love is not something to be exercised but rather released from within. We do not learn to love, but rather remember to love. We do not need to try to love, but simply need to remove the fear, attachment and ignorance that prevent us from experiencing the love that is already there within us.

Perceiving love in this way, allows us to free ourselves from the feelings of pride or guilt when we are able or unable to love. We are no more worthy nor more loved by the Divine when we love, than when we do not love. It is not a matter of good or bad, but rather a matter of ignorance and wisdom, a matter of bo***ge in fear and programming or freedom from false perception and fear.

Real freedom has nothing to do with being able to do whatever we want in every moment so that we can have what we want to be happy. Real freedom is not to make others do what we want them to do in order to satisfy our needs. Real freedom is the freedom to be happy and feel love regardless of whatever happens and whatever others might do.

How can we Describe Love? To define love would be to confine it. As with the wind, we cannot see it, but we can perceive its results. What are some of those attributes or indications of love? Loving ourselves is a prerequisite to loving others.

Here is what I consider 15 Aspects of Love:
1. One aspect of love is that we feel joy, peace, and gratitude simply when we think of or come into contact with the ones we love. Their presence brings us happiness. In the earlier stages of our spiritual development this usually occurs when others behave in ways that satisfy our needs. As we evolve, our love is purer and independent of what they do.

2. Love and understanding augment each other. Understanding enables love to be stable even when others cannot be as perfect as we would like them to be. Loving allows us to have greater understanding and patience towards those we love.

3. When we love, we respect the others, their needs, fears, weakness, strengths, virtues and qualities.

4. Sacrifice out of love is totally different from fear-based sacrifice, in which we give up needs or rights out of fear of conflict or rejection, or of spoiling our image as a "good person". When we sacrifice with love, we are making a conscious choice to let go of something we need, in order to help others. There is no pain, we do not expect something back; we keep no records or balances. We forget it immediately. The experience of love is our reward, and we need no other.

5. Although love is an inner state, it frequently needs to be expressed in action. We cannot imagine loving someone and not helping them when they are need. Expressing love with action sometimes means sensing what others need even when they do not have the ability to express themselves.

6. Love allows truth. Love demands truth and integrity. When others do not tell us the truth, we usually feel that they do not love us. When we love others, we will natural want to be truthful with them.

7. The same goes for keeping agreements. When others do not respect their agreements with us, we naturally feel that they do not love us. We cannot perfect our love for others until we keep our word with them.

8. Love creates a feeling of unity and peace. Our tensions are based on the illusion of our separateness and our inability to be natural and relaxed with another. Love breaks down those feelings and we find ourselves sharing and expressing aspects of ourselves that we fear letting others see. It is important for us to be able to share all aspects of ourselves with at least one other person. This allows us to feel both worthy and secure.

9. When we love others we want their health, happiness and success. We are happy about their progress and success in life. We feel no jealousy or pain even when they surpass us. We encourage them to proceed and blossom in their lives rather than competing or obstructing them.

10. We want the others to be happy in the ways they themselves are guided. True love does not fear when others find happiness or life solutions through others, rather than through us. We do not need to be source of their happiness or progress. We simply want them to be well.

11. Love allows others to perceive reality in their own unique ways, and does not demand that they agree with us. We need others to agree with us when we are insecure about our own perceptions or self-worth.

12. Love does not demand that others obey us or live as we believe. We love them regardless as to whether they can give us what we need or want and whether their life style coincides with our expectations or needs.

13. Love enables us to forgive others for their mistakes and weaknesses. We perceive them as souls in the process of evolution and are thus free to love them even when we do not agree with their actions or choices.

14. Perfect love can even forgive the worst of all human behaviors, just as Christ asked forgiveness for those who killed him because, "they know not what they do."

15. Love is the source of greater creativity and humane works around the world. Our love for others inspires us to perceive and manifest ways of helping others live happier and more fulfilled lives. Love creates selfless actions and works.

Christ encouraged us to love others as we love ourselves. He did not say, love others and not yourselves or love yourselves and not others. The reality is that we can love, accept, understand and forgive others only to the degree that we love, accept, understand and forgive ourselves. The opposite is also true. We can have as much understanding and love towards ourselves as we do towards others. These are interdependent. We are all blessed by love…..it is who we truly are……. Love and Light, Christina
