Water

To embody love fully, one must be aware that it is happening all the time all at once. There aren’t times that one isn’t fully embodying love, for we are made of love and we are love. When we think we are not embodying love, for example when we are hurtful or angry or any number of qualities that we assign as ‘not love’, this means that we have entered into a state of forgetfulness or distraction from our true purpose. It is temporary and not a sign of weakness or character flaw. Even just the awareness of feeling unloving in our actions or our words, this is a sign of love. It is very uncomfortable to be aware of unloving actions and not know how to shift back into loving action. This uncomfortableness is a sign of love. It is a signal that we know what love is and what love means, and yet we have forgotten or been distracted from how to be love. The more frequently we notice and become aware, the more we build up the frequency of love within ourselves, eventually leading to the production of our loving thoughts, words and actions again. Love is like the molecules of water. When we effortlessly offer and receive love, it is like swimming in water, in a sea of love. This is easy and perhaps where we want to stay. When we feel fearful or scared, we retract and the molecules of our love freeze in place, moving the molecules farther apart and not able to move around as effortlessly as the molecules of water when in the state of a liquid. The love is still there, it is still present, it is just not accessible to anyone. It is frozen in place. In the higher dimensions—beyond the third dimension where the limitations of our human bodies reside—the love is like the water molecules within the gaseous state, freely moving around without any limitations at all. We experience this state of love when we meditate or dance or commune with Spirit however it feels right in your body. So you see, the love is never gone. It is simply more or less accessible to us when we are in different states of mind. We can shift our state—from frozen to liquid—with whatever practice suits you. There are many ways. This is not to say that it is easy but it is always possible. Time is the only factor. The love never goes away. Today, consider writing down one practice that you know helps you shift from frozen to liquid. Is it singing? Is it dancing? Laughing? Hiking? Cooking? Whatever comes up is right for you.
