There is only love or fear.
This little practice will help you choose love.
A note from your heart.
My Love,
Love is the energy you live and breathe in. You block it from coming into me, your heart, the container of love. No one does this to you. You do it! So…. you can undo it! And I am here to help.
I know it has been hard to have me, your heart broken over and over again. It doesn’t seem right but I have to break, to open. You have to feel the pain of your thoughts of love over and over again until you realize that the key to love, well, actually life, is to let go. Let go again and again. Accepting everyone just as they are, allowing everything to be as it is. That’s love.
Hanging on is NOT love. Judgment is NOT love. Having to be right is NOT love. When you hang on, judge or become righteous I will begin to speak to you. I may give you heart disease, breast issues, lung problems, shoulder tension or pain, hand and wrist challenges that is just my way of saying let go and allow that person, that pet, that situation, that part of yourself to be just as they are. To leave you when they need to, to come back if that works.
When you let go and allow yourself to feel the grief you will transform. Someone new will come into your life or the person you’ve just let go of, will change. You will love at a deeper level.
Trust me. Love deeply without grabbing on, holding or clutching. Love free from judgment. Love from the space of the unknown. Love with an open heart where people and things can flow in and out.
You will be free to love.
I love you!
Your Heart
I was born with a birth defect called pectus carinantum, a malformation of the chest wall which causes my breast bone to protrude out. I have an additional issue in that it protrudes more on the right than the left, which causes me to continuously battle kyphosis (hump back) on the left side of my upper back. I have shared this with very few people and am excited to be speaking of it NOW!
This rare birth defect runs in my family. My grandmother had a pronounced hump back and my nephew had surgery for pectus carinantum when he was about 8 years old. It is a very painful procedure where they break open your sternum and reset it. I watched my nephew in pain with tubes coming out of his chest to drain fluid. My heart broke for my whole family watching his struggle. I took on my greatest challenge, learning to love, at the moment. I was a yogini at that time and wanted to see if I could form a practice to change the energy of love that flows in my DNA. Since, this is a bone issue, it is quite a challenge. I am happy to report, I’ve made progress.
This physical defect mirrors the family love defect. The family love motto as I understand it is: It’s better to judge harshly than accept fully. I have watched my father work his way toward acceptance and I know his work has allowed me to be more accepting, especially of myself. I love you dad for offering guidance on this path.
Acceptance. That is my definition of love. It is my daily practice and the path I choose to walk. When I become judgmental I quickly go to my forgiveness of self practice. I have found through the years that if I’m judging you it is because I’m judging me. When I deeply forgive me. I deeply forgive you.
I use Ho’oponopono, which means, in Hawaiian, to make right. I first open my heart by taking a swimming pool noodle cut to the width of my upper back or a noodle ball (6 tennis balls in a knee hi sock) horizontally into the space of the heart, right at the wing tips and lie over it with knees bent and arms over head. Go get or make your noodle ball and join me.
After a moment of just relaxing into the noodle ball bring your knees up toward your chest, unless this is too painful for you. Rock gently side to side and slowly roll up your heart space. Keep going up until you roll off the top of your shoulders.
Take a moment to just lie in stillness. Feel your open heart. This is your heart. Your space of love. In this place, bring in the person or thing that creates a reaction of grabbing and holding on. Give it/them a heart hug.
Now, bring in the magic of Ho’oponopono:
Step 1: Repentance – I’M SORRY
That’s it, I’M SORRY. It can be more powerful if you get more specific: “I realize that I am responsible for ______ in my life and I feel remorse that something in my consciousness has caused this.”
Step 2: Ask Forgiveness – PLEASE FORGIVE ME
PLEASE FORGIVE ME. Say it over and over. Mean it. Remember your remorse from step 1 as you ask to be forgiven.
Step 3: Gratitude – THANK YOU
Say “THANK YOU”. Thank your body for all it does for you. Thank yourself for being the best you can be. Thank the Universe. Thank whatever it was that just forgave you. Just keep saying THANK YOU.
Step 4: Love – I LOVE YOU
Say I LOVE YOU. Say it to your body, Say I LOVE YOU to the air you breathe, to the house that shelters you. Say I LOVE YOU to your challenges. Say it over and over. Mean it. Feel it. There is nothing as powerful as Love.
That’s it. Simple and amazingly effective. I’ve watched it create miracles in my life.
As you get up from here, go forward knowing that whatever you encounter out there you can handle it because you just felt the energy of love. You know the key to love… Letting go in love.
