love is the best thing we do, and also the most frightening

We all long for deeply satisfying, fully intimate love. But most of us spend more time struggling with loneliness, disconnection and hurt feelings than enjoying the joyous celebration that love can be. 

What causes this disconnect? Why is it that what we most deeply want is also so hard to get and keep? 

Here is the reason: love has the power to bring up all of our hidden desires, our deepest longings, and our past hurts. 

It acts as a cosmic searchlight, revealing problems we aren’t aware of and they wreak havoc even on great relationships. 

These issues could manifest themselves as symptoms like withdrawal, anger, anxiety, irritation and loneliness. 

Most of the time we don’t even realize what’s happening. All we know is that our partner seems suddenly distant and inconsiderate, or we feel an undercurrent of anger or resentment towards them. 

We don’t know that our hidden emotions and fears are at work. 

We react to the symptoms, and ignore the real cause. 

We unintentionally shut love out, instead of letting it in.  

Learning to love yourself means developing a warm embrace and a firm hand. it is about treating yourself with kindness, gentleness and care while being merciless in your demand to be true to your highest ideals.

EVERY TIME YOU EXPAND YOR ABILITY TO LOVE YOURSELF, YOU OPEN THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING LOVED MORE BY OTHERS!

So let's begin. 

In loving.  Gina
