Your Fear of Love Is Damaging Your Health
Yesterday I opened up a dialogue on my Facebook page about why people leave religion and choose to be 'spiritual'.
It was a beautiful conversation where many chimed in on both their current perspectives and past experiences.
Which made me even more proud knowing my followers are so respectful that no one attacked another for their opinion.
I brought the topic up for a couple reasons...
1. I'm genuinely curious about what people believe about God and their relationship with whatever God they believe in.
2. My experience in coaching over the past 20 years has shown me that the people who lack a deep spiritual practice (connecting with the Divine) are the ones who are MOST afraid of love.
And the ones most confused about what love means.
In a holistic approach to healing, we understand that there are 6 specific components to WHY someone can be healthy or why they suffer.
-Food
-Fitness
-Service/Career/Purpose
-Relationships to others
-Self-Image/Story about WHO they are
-Spiritual Connection
And by closely reviewing each of these areas, LOVE is at the root.
When it's present, health in this area is SUPER high.
When love is absent, health in this area suffers BIG time.
For people who've been traumatized or abandoned by a loved one in their past...
Or those who've been traumatized by a religion who preaches love but teaches hate...
These traumas create a mindset that it's safer to avoid anything associated with the idea of love.
And in turn, these people avoid all connections to the unseen SOURCE of love.
Aka God. Source. Consciousness.
Whatever you choose to call it.
But again, health is severely affected by the absence of love.
As we see in Dr. Masaru Emoto's Water Experiments--
A simple experiment where intentions were placed on water and the frozen molecules were observed under a microscope.
In the absence of a loving intention, the water showed up as murky, poorly shaped crystals, that lacked luster.
In the presence of a loving intention, the water formed incredible crystals, bright and vibrant.
This is happening in your body, each and every day based on your thoughts, your intentions, and your lifestyle!
Whether it's a love for yourself, an openness to be loved by others, or a love for/from whatever God you believe in, we all NEED love to stay healthy because God IS love...
The very source of what MADE you, brought you to life, and BREATHES you each and every day IS love.
Deprive yourself of that in any way and you'll find that the health of your mind, body, and spirit just seem to fall apart.
So today, if you find yourself struggling in a particular area of life, ask yourself...
How can I bring LOVE into this?
What can I do to view this THROUGH a lens of love?
How can I love what IS?
And from that, you will begin to see that healing just about anything IS truly possible.
