Fall in love with the world

Fall in love with the earth

Fall in love with your own life

[Pamela Vicik-Smith]

Love this - and love you too Jessica

[Pamela]

YES!!!

Oh, Jessica & Pammie! I LOVE you both! I have learned that the most incredibly powerful way to transformation and manifestation is loving everyone and everything, even if it "appears" to be unpleasant...This heartfelt act/feeling is where miracles begin, so YES!...5 minutes is really good to start, but by consciously remembering & living this truth each day as often as possible is mindblowing on so many, many levels!

Dear Jessica , for posting this beautiful magic and to ALL who resonate to this truth for shining your light so brilliantly!

Much Love Always,

Pamela

You Make It Easy

Who could resist falling in love with a world with you two lovelies in it?

[noises]

I picked up a habit from someone of randomly exclaiming "I LOVE IT!" (and sometimes getting the answer back, "He LOVES it!") It's always nice to be loved, but the real magic of love comes from being loving, of loving anything or anyone you can set your mind on.

Sometimes there's things or people in the world I can't, in good conscience, love the way they are. Some jobs, certain people, even something as ambigious as an attitude I perceive. I'd rather give those things a terse farewell and wide berth, then put my thoughts, my time, my energy, on what I can think of with love. If I can't do that immediately, I remind myself, I am what I'm thinking, I don't allow myself to get too sucked into what it is I don't like, and "get through" whatever the task or meeting may require almost on emotional autopilot, focusing on my thinking more than my feelings. Because just as loving is great for us, hating harms us.

Lets face it, who hasn't had to deal with things in life they don't love? Who can say they love everything and everyone they encounter? Who's that advanced, and do you give lessons? Not me, that's for sure. But at least I know better than to focus on things I hate, to dwell on them, to spend my time and my energy consumed by the wrong emotion for me. Even in the middle of the most unpleasent duty, the most confrontational interaction, I make the effort to keep coming back mentally to the things I love.

There's a lecture getting around called Nature, Nurture, & the Power of Love: Conscious Parenting (part 1 of 2) which if you ask me they should be showing in high schools as mandatory viewing. It really opened my eyes to the concept of being loving, and what it's really doing for me. While it's meant to be a lecture about parenting, it's actually a fascinating look at the biological differences between love and hate, confidence and fear, kindness and meanness, and the actual physical, cellular effects of being in a place of love. If you have some time, it's well worth watching both parts. By all means, share the link with others too.

Falling in love with anything, or at least, thinking how beautiful, how incredible, how blessed, is fantastic for us, on so many levels. It's sort of strange to describe, but it's that feeling of massive appreciation, the literally heart warming sensation that comes with the thoughts "man, that is so beautiful," or "I'm so blessed, they're so gorgeous, this is so awesome, that was so lucky, etc etc" which comes from being in a place of love, it's almost like emotional exercise. It replenishes me after I've had a dose of something I could love more if I really tried. If I've just spent ten minutes with someone I don't like, or a day on a task I resent having to do, or don't enjoy, I spend time thinking of someone I do love, or doing something I do enjoy, doing emotional pushups by filling my heart and mind with love. And the more you let yourself focus on the awareness of how loving feels, the more familiar it becomes, and the more loving you become in turn. If you ask me, five minutes is great, but go for five minutes an hour, or more. It can only help. Then, there's the law of attraction. If you're constantly consciously putting your thoughts and feelings into a place of love, what are you resonating in harmony with? Love. So what are you attracting to you? More love. Simple, isn't it?

I know the miserable people in the world aren't really miserable people. They just dwell on miserable things, remain in miserable situations, spend to much time thinking about the things they hate - and that has a really negative effect, regardless of if they want to acknowledge it or not. Much wiser to just realise, it's better to love, it's good for us.


Thanks for the reminder, ladies. You're as gorgeous as you are right!

ps, that link leads to the first half of a two hour lecture. The second half is in the top of the list of related videos on the right. The first 45 minutes is a foundation in biology, worth watching, but if you want to watch fifteen minutes, about how it applies to love, watch the last 15 minutes of the first half.

Yeah it's funny how it works.

If you can love another person, like a family member, through their ups and downs, you can certainly extend the same courtesy to yourself.

You can love your life whether it is a comedy, a tragedy, a drama, a thriller, etc.

Because love involves appreciation and acceptance, you can love yourself even through your "flaws," fears, etc. just as you can love yourself though your triumphs and celebrations

You Are Love

I've posted this little video before somewhere on the forum, probably a couple of years ago, so thought it was time to bring it out & dust it down again & was very apt for this thread.

You can never have too much love! Thanks for the thread Jessica.
