Unconditional Love - How to Experience Unconditional Love and Live on a Higher Plane

When you experience true love it changes your outlook on life. You begin to see others through the eyes of love knowing that we are a part of something greater, a part of the whole. Unconditional love transforms you from the inside out and takes you to a higher plane of living. It cleanses you so you can experience more joy and peace.

Here are some steps to follow to experience the power of Unconditional Love starting today.

Desire

As with everything in life you must first have the desire to experience Unconditional Love. Once you’ve established that in your mind it creates the first step towards opening the door to the inner sanctuary of love within you.

Set aside time in the silence

Love is best experienced in quietness. Set aside time in silence to release all your inhibitions, all the negativity that inhibits true love from growing inside you. And as you sit in quietness allow the rays of the warmth to shine over your inner being.

Feel the feelings of love

Go to new levels of ecstasy, feel the feelings of Unconditional love, feel the warmth. Follow the guidance of the Spirit as you listen within, look within and feel within. Each day as you do this, you’ll find that you’ll begin to feel calmer, more at peace with yourself and with others and more contented.

Surrender to love

Surrender here means to yield to love’s embrace, to allow the flow of inner beauty to move through you. It is in the process of surrendering that you are open to receive all that the Spirit has to offer. Resistance hinders the free flow of love like debris blocks the free flow of water.

Journey to center of your inner being

Feel the large void within your soul. Look within and consciously connect with the Great Universal Spirit of Love and allow your inner void to be flooded with love. Journey to center of your inner being and consciously feel all of you being completely filled until you’re satisfied.

You originate out of love and this is the only place you’ll feel completely satisfied and at home. Ever wondered why you feel so incomplete even though you may have everything? The operative word is thing. Unconditional love need not depend on things to satisfy. As a matter of fact, even if you have nothing, you can go into the inner sanctuary and feel completely satisfied, safe and fulfilled.

Unconditional Love: Love Conquers All

Every gardener will go to great lengths to care for his or her garden. Even though gardening is hard work, the gardener joyously toils knowing the harvest time will come and then he or she will celebrate.

It's the gardener's pleasure to sit and feast on the fruit of his or her labour, and is proud to show off the garden and its fruit. No matter the thorns, the tilling, the weeding, the gardener keeps keeping on, taking joy in knowing that all the work he or she has put into this garden will soon pay off.

As you express your nurturing love to others, regardless of the obstacles, the struggles, keep keeping on. Know that all your work will not be in vain. One day you will enjoy the fruit of your labour.

If you have children you nurture them will your love, your instructions, daily reminding them and instructing them in the way that is best. Even though at times they may not listen, you keep keeping on; disciplining, loving, guiding. One day you will enjoy the rewards of your love.

What about friends, other relatives, husband, or wife? Let your love outshine every obstacle. Yes, you may disagree, after all you have your own mind, and they have theirs, but let love reconcile you. Let your love be more important than your disagreement. Have your disagreement because it identifies who you are, but let not disagreements separate your love.

Agree to disagree, but agree to agree that love will always conquer all. Once you've settled that in all of your relationships with others, it does not matter what comes your way. Deal with the issue in love as much as is possible but determine to let love be the final outcome. See others through the eyes of love and then your perspective on your disagreement or indifference will change. Let not your mould hill of disagreement turn into a mountain too hard to climb. See love and love will bring down every mountain turning it into rubble.

Unconditional Love: The Pruning Process of Love

Love nurtures with tenderness and gentleness; however, love also expresses itself in firmness and strength.

Dried leaves fall off of trees and plants when they no longer serve their purpose on them. A gardener prunes a tree, removing dead branches and leaves, in order for it to bear more fruit.

For you to fulfill your life purpose, the pruning process of love is essential. Holding on to things that are hindering you from or that are not taking you in the direction of fulfilling your ultimate purpose, robs you of the joy of life and the joy of purpose.

You are free to make choices in your life and therefore those choices you make should reflect who you choose to be, allowing other things in your life that do not serve your ultimate purpose to fall off or be removed.

Keep this in mind, that which you have pruned, even though it is not currently active in your life, may be used for future reference in carrying out your purpose.

Sometimes the decision to removing the non-beneficial aspect of your life may seem difficult, but being aware that this is part of your growth process makes the transition worthwhile.

Yield to the pruning process today, and as nature shows us, experience the fullness of your fruitfulness, thereafter.

Unconditional Love: Love Promotes Growth

Love promotes growth. Nurturing which comes from the heart of love promotes growth. If you've ever left a garden to itself without care, weeds begin to overtake it, and before long, what was once a beautiful garden or could have been a beautiful garden, has now lost the opportunity to express that beauty. Lack of care gives way to the infestation of weeds and bugs.

Love, God's love which flows through your soul needs to express itself in and through you. It desires the opportunity to nurture you, infilling you and overflowing your being into physical expression. With that physical expression of love into others, they are therefore nurtured. Not only do you experience personal growth and the blossoming of your inner and outer garden, but you allow others to experience the same because of your love.

How do you express this love?

Love requires no instructions of how to love. You just love. You feel love and then express love. If instruction is required, then you need to return to the Source of love, feel and experience this love and you'll be moved from within to outwardly express that love to another.

Therefore, in what form should love be expressed?

In a kind thought, word, deed. Be kind in your thoughts towards others, for if you are unkind in your thoughts, your negative energy is transmitted to them. Without a spoken word, they feel your negativity toward them.

Be kind in your words. The way you speak with others and what you say to others can either uplift them or stomp them down, making them feel smaller than an ant.

Love in your deeds. Whatever you do to or for someone, feel the feelings of love from your heart and the feelings and energy of love will be communicated to their inner being that they are loved and that they are important. In so doing, you empower another to feel good about him or herself and know that they are worth more than they think of themselves.

Make love your quest to receive and experience and then give to others that new life may blossom from you and others with whom you share that love.

Unconditional Love: Live your life from love

Nature has an innate ability to nurture the plants and trees relying on her with the love of sustenance within her soil.

Out of the soil's bed of love springs forth life and life is sustained.

It is out of this love, the love that's embedded within our souls, that our life flows out of, and that which sustains every part of our growth, development and relations with others.

Live your life from love. Whatever you do, do because of love. Develop love for yourself; for in so doing you love God. Develop love for others, for in so doing, you love yourself. For whatever you desire that others do to you, do to them and for them.

Out of the bed of love springs forth flowers of goodness, kindness, graciousness, compassion, tenderness and tolerance. Mother Nature cares for the earth that all may benefit and enjoy the fruit of her love.

Develop your talents and abilities out of the heart of love for yourself, love for others and ultimately love for God.

Taking the time to love myself - Part 3 - Loving my heart

Now that we've gone through the process of taking the time to love ourselves by loving our heads, let's look at some other body parts worthy of our attention, like our hearts.

The heart is constantly pumping, giving us a rhythmic melody within our bodies. Take the time to tune in to the sound waves of your heart, perhaps coming in harmony with each beat and create your own melody. I do this with my children and make up a silly song with each beat - the result - laughter. Laughter is the melody of the soul. It releases tension and puts you into positive vibes.

Take the time to focus on loving our heart. Visualize your heart as the center from which the life blood is being pumped through to your veins to all of your cells and throughout your body. As you visualize this, say, "I love you. Thank you for keeping the life flow moving through my body.

Now visualize the energy of love energizing your heart now that you're giving it all of your attention.

Visualize this love energy flowing and moving through your blood through your veins and saturating all of your cells and rejuvenating each cell.

Get your emotions involved in there too. Visualize each cell now filled with vitality to carry out its function in a new energized environment of love, peace and harmony. Allow yourself to bask in that moment for as long as you need.

Love energy is filled with healing properties. Many of our ailments come because of lack of love, whether toward ourselves or others.

Watch out for your energy level during the day. It will soar high. Because you've taken the time to love you, to love your vital body organs which will send positive energy waves throughout your body.

Feel free to leave a comment of your experience. I'd love to hear how this exercise has impacted you.

Taking the time to love myself - Part 2

As we begin to love ourselves, we're sending positive energy waves to every part of us. How often do we take for granted our body parts, especially our most vital hidden inner organs that do so much to keep us in the best of health despite our abuse of them? Only when some serious illness has taken control do many begin to pay attention to these faithful organs.

So, we'll start with our head:

The brain

I love you. I appreciate you for functioning the way you do. For allowing me to express myself even though at times I entertain thoughts that are not healthy for you.

The eyes

I love you. Thank you for lighting up my world that I may see and enjoy the many different beautiful and vibrant colours around. I appreciate you for being my guide that I may clearly see my way each day and avoid bumping into things.

The nose

I love you and because of you I can enjoy the many various fragrances.

My mouth

I can talk and talk and talk all day and despite my constant yapping, you are with me all the time 24/7, never complaining. I love you and thank you for putting up with me. I can colour my world with my sophisticated articulation.

My ears

From the noises of the busy traffic to the crying of a sleepy baby to the singing of the birds, I hear all of life's sound vibrations because of you. I love you.

You can complete the full exercise with your hair, your eyebrows, and neck until you've completed the entire head.

Doing this exercise allows you to appreciate every part of you in addition to letting you feel better about yourself and express love to your body members.

Be sure to let me know what you think.

It's my birthday!

Today is my birthday. When I was a little girl, I was so excited about opening my birthday present; I couldn't wait for my birthday to come. Now that I'm older, my kids are more excited about my birthday than I am.

Birthdays have taken on a different phase and meaning for me; it's all about family. I could hear the little whispers as the kids try to make a birthday cake without me knowing - as a matter of fact they made not one but three. The gifts are coming out; from books to ornaments and handmade necklaces. How much love is that, huh?

So I share my lovely family with you on my special day.

Me and baby Roxella

Lee - the love of my life and the wind beneath my wings.

Our eldest daughter, Shenelle

Grace - my workout challenger

Tammy - the artist

Lisalee harvesting cucumber from her garden

Alexandria Princess Victoria

Joshua - our big boy and miracle son

Our little princess - Roxella - just practicing to stand

The more the merrier and tons of fun. Lots of little feet, but we wouldn't have it any other way. We thank God for our special family and for the opportunity, privilege and honour to be chosen to be their parents. Their wisdom inspires us and their love warms our hearts. We are so blessed with God's abundance.

Perhaps your family is not as large as ours. It's not in the quantity but in the quality of the love shared. You have been blessed, whether it's one or even two. We have 7 different lives through which God has chosen to express his essence of love to us -7 pairs of eyes through which the warmth of His Unconditional Love has been packaged and brought to earth to heal our hearts. Their love has no conditions, stipulations or expectations; just pure love - the place where we need to return and rest.

Our Father awaits our return as we surrender all our hurts, mistakes, hang-ups and everything that has drawn us away from the center of our nature of Unconditional Love.

Bask in the warmth of love

Getting my body back - Day 85

It's summer time again and just about everyone is enjoying the sun and basking in its rays, gobbling up as much warmth as possible before the coolness of the fall and frigid winds of the winter sets in.

Some people lay in the sun for hours absorbing as much vitamin D as they are able to. Some days we lay out in the back yard, in tire tubes, completely enjoying the sun as it pours down longed-for heat on our bodies.

It is the same with basking in the warmth of love from the Spirit. As you sit or lay relaxed in the presence of Love and allow its rays to move within your being, just absorbing its richness and joy that springs out of this love, you are taken to a realm of Spiritual ecstasy.

In the heat of the embrace of Love all your barriers and walls begin to come down releasing you from its grips and setting you free while preparing the ground of your heart to absorb more of its warmth.

The longer you stay the deeper you feel this Love and the wider the spread of it within your inner being. The deep void or emptiness within your soul begins to fill with Love until the flames of fire consumes every part of your inner being and burns away completely all fears and all restraints and reservations that keeps you from experiencing true freedom.

As you enjoy your summer having fun in the sun and basking in its rays, your body will thank you for it. But more importantly, take time to bask in the warmth of love, your soul will thank you for it.

Fuelling words: I welcome and bask in the presence of love and allow love to fill me and satisfy the inner longing and the deep void within my inner being.

Workout - gardening

Face to face with Love

Getting my body back - Day 84

Do you recall a time when you were first in love how energized you felt? You probably were so excited, your heart fluttered, you were on cloud 9, your face beamed with joy. Then the 'honeymoon' was over and you came back down to earth facing the realities of the relationship challenges where this love either continued to grow or the two separated.

There is a place where you come face to face with true Love where Love is unconditional; not the fluff that society throws around as a pass off for love - love today, gone tomorrow. No, this Love is eternal and true. When you come face to face with this Love, it goes to the very core of your soul, beams and glows, moves across and within your inner being.

This Love brings with it life, energizing you from within outward and causes the entire you to beam. It brings its own melody to your soul, comforts and holds you from within. Satisfies your every longing to depths where mortal hands cannot reach.

This Love is found in the silence of the soul. As you sit, looking inward to the Spirit of Love, you open your heart to experience love in its purest form; no judgment, no conditions, no stipulations and constantly flowing, just pure Love and acceptance. No need to stand on your head, do cartwheels or bend over backwards. This Love is ever ready to embrace you and draw you into its warmth.

The question is, "Are you ready to come face to face with unconditional Love and experience Love in its highest form?"

Fuelling words: I allow Love to flow in my inner being and light my soul aflame, bringing joy in all I do.

Workout - dancing

Love - the intangible element

Getting my body back - Day 83

Healing foods are packed with nutrients to help prevent illnesses and assist the cells in repairing the body. For example, bananas protect your heart, quiet a cough, strengthen bones, control blood pressure and block diarrhea. Apples protect your heart, prevent constipation, block diarrhea, improve lung capacity and cushion joints.

Adding more of these foods to your diet encourages a healthy body.

But what about a broken spirit? No food or drug has been prescribed on the market to heal one that's emotionally wounded. This is an inside job where no human hands can touch.

So, how does one heal an emotional wound?

It is said that time heals all wounds. If that is so, why then do so many people wound around with crushed spirits which is evident in their faces or in a chaotic life which is an attempt to mask the wound and suppress the pain?

That which is intangible can only be healed by that which is also intangible. Love is the intangible element needed to completely heal an emotional wound. As the wounded one looks within to the Source of Love which is the Spirit of Love, love's warmth gently moves within the inner being saturating and healing all emotional wounds.

When you come face to face with that inner Spirit of Love and yield your hurt to its strong yet gentle embrace, the chains of anger, resentment, fear and hurt loses its hold on you, for none of these can stand in the presence of true Love.

This freedom becomes evident in your physical body, your face is brighter because you are happier; you have entered the presence of and have been touched by love.

Fuelling words: I relinquish all hurt and all that disturbs my emotional state of peace to the presence of Love.

Enriching your life - Part 1

Tending the garden of the heart - Day 43

Every gardener knows that nutrient-enriched soil produces healthy crop. Similarly, an enriched life promotes a healthy life style.

How do you enrich your life?

Choose to love. Decide to experience love from your inner being, for you are surrounded by the Spirit of love. Connect with this love. Be always conscious of love. Act and live out of love. In every situation, ask, "What would love do?" Consciously feel the feelings of love; for yourself, your family and others around you.

As you connect with this love, allow the warmth of love to fill and saturate your inner being. If you sit in front of a camp fire you feel the warmth of the flames, but if you move away, you begin to feel cool. It is the same with love. If you remain consciously connected with the Source of love, you will constantly experience the warmth of love and thereby enable to express that love to others.

Enrich your life with the warmth of love.

Expansion of love

Tending the garden of the heart - Day 41

Mother Nature's love nurtures plants and trees endlessly, and because of this love plants and trees can do what they were planted to do. Because of this sustaining love, vegetable plants and fruits expand this love to feeding us, as well as, the animals.

In the same manner, God's love sustains us and if we connect with this love we experience growth to the point of bearing fruit. This fruit we share with others becoming a source of nourishment and sustenance for them. This love does not just belong to our loved ones but expands to encircle any and everyone with whom we come in contact, recognizing that we are all one in God, treating others with love and respect. Love extending even to those who don't think highly or kindly toward us.

Our normal tendency to others who ill-treat us is to respond unkindly, as well. But true love understands that as you do to the other you've also done so to yourself.

Decide now to let true love abound in you to the expansion to and the inclusion of others unrelated to you.

Love conquers all

Tending the garden of the heart - Day 40

Every gardener will go to great lengths to care for his or her garden. Even though gardening is hard work, the gardener joyously toils knowing the harvest time will come and then he or she will celebrate.

It's the gardener's pleasure to sit and feast on the fruit of his or her labour, and is proud to show off the garden and its fruit.

As you express your nurturing love to others, regardless of the obstacles, the struggles, keep keeping on. Know that all your work will not be in vain. One day you will enjoy the fruit of your labour.

If you have children you nurture them will your love, your instructions, daily reminding them and instructing them in the way that is best. Even though at times they may not listen, you keep keeping on; disciplining, loving, guiding. One day you will enjoy the rewards of your love.

What about friends, other relatives, husband, or wife? Let your love outshine every obstacle. Yes, you may disagree, after all you have your own mind, and they have theirs, but let love reconcile you. Let your love be more important than your disagreement. Have your disagreement because it identifies who you are, but let not disagreements separate your love.

Agree to disagree, but agree to agree that love will always conquer all. Once you've settled that in all of your relationships with others, it does not matter what comes your way. Deal with the issue in love as much as is possible but determine to let love be the final outcome. See others through the eyes of love and then your perspective on your disagreement or indifference will change. Let not your mould hill of disagreement turn into a mountain too hard to climb. See love and love will bring down every mountain turning it into rubble.

Changing Inside Out Now! Tending the garden of the heart - Day 11

A different take on Easter - Part 4

Easter Monday

We've come to the final day of the Easter celebration. Just as Jesus continued on in his path of love; visiting the disciples, comforting them and finally ascending to take his place, seated on the right hand of the Father making intercession for us, we, too, must continue to grow, following our own path.

We must allow our transformed life to continue to grow, seeded in the soil of love. Let the flames of divine love fill our hearts and burn away all that is impure, so we, in turn, could fulfill our life's purpose.

Love must therefore be cultivated in our hearts as the main ingredient where everything else flows out from there.

Every gardener cares for his garden out of the heart of love. A careless gardener will neglect his garden, therefore, resulting in weeds overtaking and choking out the crop, denying it of essential nutrients.

Love is the true foundation for growth in our hearts. Let the Easter message inspire us throughout the year that we may grow, be strong and bear good fruit.
