Feel Love

Society, popular culture encourage us to seek for love outside of ourselves yet the biggest source of love is inside ourselves. We cant really love someone else, if we don’t love ourselves first and it is not a cheap self-help cliché ? Maybe, but it is the true.

Looking for love into someone to compensate our lack of self-love is not the best solution. The biggest source of love is inside of us, of course, if like me you had your heart restricted for many years then you might need a bit of an effort to bring to surface the feeling of love to you, the feeling of your own love.

I came across an effective exercise to bring to me the feeling of love, I have been playing with it for a couple of days now, its excellent, sometime it is very easy to bring to feeling of love, sometimes, I need 5 minutes or more , sometimes it is intense sometimes it is not.

Finding Love exercise by Bruce Moen

The first step in learning to Feel Love is to sit in a relaxed position, close your eyes, and take in three deep relaxing breaths.
Take in as many as you need in order to feel some change in your level of relaxation.
Then, just remember a time when you were feeling Loved or Loving.

Let that memory bring the feeling of Love into you. Again, I don’t mean think about feeling Love, I mean FEEL IT.
Continue remembering times in your life when you were feeling Loved or Loving.
It could be the last time you petted your cat, a first kiss, or holding your newborn baby.
Once you can FEEL Love, let that feeling continue to build, let if fill your entire being, let it bring that inner smile.

I personally use the exercise with the memories of my many travel or when I’m walking at the beach alone, I love so much walking by the seaside.
If you do the exercise please let me know , how it goes for you.
