Are You Ready To Love?

Are You Ready To Love?

Love is… (insert your favourite expression or song lyric here). Loving someone special unconditionally is what life is all about. Life, unfortunately, is also about learning how to let go of fear, self-limiting beliefs and all the other things that you have to master in order to truly understand what love really is. If you are ready to take the plunge, open your heart and let love in.

What’s Love Got To Do With It?

If you long to feel butterflies dancing in your stomach, when you think of your sweetheart, your desire for love is already obvious. The love that you attract, however, will reflect your spiritual vibration. This is where heartache often lies in wait.

On your journey to finding true love you must experience all aspects of what love is and is not. This often means having to first experience the opposite of what your heart desires. When you are spiritually ready to love, nothing and no one can stop love finding you.

Once you commit to yourself and begin to make the positive changes that shift your vibration, you‘ll be ready to open your heart and to let love in. No matter how much you want to experience the thrill of love and romance, you may not actually be as ready for love as you think you are. One or more of the following reasons may be blocking your wishes from coming true. Be honest with yourself, and do what you have to do so that love can find its way to you…

• Goodbye Independence

If you’ve been single for a while you’ve probably become comfortable in your own space and personal world. You may think that in order to welcome someone special into your life you must relinquish your independence. If you think that love is about having to answer to someone else, and letting go of being yourself, you are not ready for love at all.

Unconditional love is accepting of individual expression and personal space. Two people in a true love relationship work together and compliment each other. They share togetherness and independence, and enjoy a relationship that is blissfully balanced.

• Trust Issues

It’s only natural to have trust issues if you have experienced heartbreak and emotional pain in a relationship. How you choose to deal with this will affect your subsequent experiences. If you’re keeping your fingers crossed and hoping that your next lover will be decent, loving and respectful, you’re not as ready to love as you think you are.

All of the pain that you have endured in your quest to find love has been a gift for you to examine and explore. Without deeply working through all of your emotional issues, trust included, you cannot attract the perfect partner who will mirror back true love. Work through the pain and release it. To be ready for love you need to clear the decks to start afresh with no emotional baggage in tow.

• Fearing Commitment

Many people fear commitment without fully understand what the word means. Some people choose to see commitment as a restriction of freedom. Those with an open heart prefer to view it as a form a dedication to something that they want to nurture and grow. If you view commitment as a hindrance to your happiness you’re not yet ready to welcome in the love that you think you want.

Be honest with yourself and be clear on what you want. There’s nothing wrong with wanting casual companionship that has no foundation for mutual growth. If you want a loving and secure relationship you’ll need to face your fears of commitment head on.

• You’re Not Sure How To Love

If you weren’t fortunate enough to grow up in a loving, nurturing and supportive environment it’s unlikely that you had any role models to inspire you in understanding love. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to learning how to love. Don’t let this minor concern worry you. Not knowing how to love can be a blessing in disguise, because you can navigate the journey together.
