Love
“Love and life are the same.
When there is no love, there is no life.”
—Roch Carrier
You are destined to have a wonderful life! You are meant to be happy, to be healthy, to be in love, to have abundance, and to live the life of your dreams. You are destined to fulfill your life’s purpose, to feel good about yourself, to have relationships that make you happy, and to have enough money to pay your bills. And all of this is possible with love, for love heals everything. Make sure there is love in all areas of your life and see your life transform!
The angels suggest we do everything with love, no matter how menial the task may be. If you are cleaning your home, do it with love. If you are working at a job that may not be exactly what you want to be doing right now, do it with love. The angels suggest we love it to death; love it so it can die and be transformed into something more wonderful and aligned with what you really want.
We all live through times in our lives when we are in a place or a situation where we are unhappy. If this is where you find yourself right now, ask the angels to help you love it to death: “My darling angels, thank you for helping me do what I must do for now, with love. I know that this too shall pass. Help me see the blessings in this situation or task at hand. I know that the more love I sincerely give to it, the quicker it will transform. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
When I lived in Ontario, I was unhappy. I felt alone and far away from my family and friends. I knew in my heart that the angels wanted me to be at peace. I knew I had to learn to love the place to death if I had any hope of moving on. So I prayed to the angels to help me find peace, joy, and love in my situation. That is when I met my neighbor who introduced me to Reiki, made new friends, and discovered new things that I loved. I was guided to move on when I finally felt at peace with the place.
The angels also suggest that you send love to any situation that you have difficulty with, such as when someone has done you wrong. I know this can be disheartening, but the angels suggest you send the person love. Allow yourself to feel angry and disappointed for a day or two, but quickly come back to that space inside of yourself where love resides and then send them love. The more love you send, the quicker you will heal and move forward. Say, “Thank you, my darling angels, for helping me send love to ___________. I sincerely wish them love and all the best. I know greater love exists for me, and the more I stay in a state of love and grace, the more love I will receive.”
The angels also invite us to always do things out of love and not for love. When we do things for love, we are actually doing them out of fear. We are doing things with the expectation of receiving love in return. Therefore, we are not being loving toward ourselves, nor are we being loving toward others. We are really afraid of not being good enough, of not being loved. So only do things from the goodness of your heart.
There are only two basic emotions in life: fear and love. If you are in fear, you cannot be in love.
Where do these emotions come from? They come from your thoughts. And the good news is you have control over your thoughts.
The angels recommend that you keep your thoughts positive to create positive things in your life. If you focus on what you love, that is what you will attract. So let loose and love more! Look at what you love in your life and speak it out loud.
I say, “I love my life! I love myself! I love my family, my environment, and my friends. I love my body, my face, my hair, my teeth! I love my new home! I love my car! I love the sun, the beach, and the blue sky. I love beautiful things. I love to pay my bills. I love being able to pay for all my basic needs and little luxuries. I love traveling and meeting new people. I love to write. I love doing readings for my clients and making them happy. I love to share. I love that God and the angels support me in all my efforts to live my passion. I love that the angels always guide me to the right person, at the right place and at the right time. I love that I am guided to take the right actions to achieve my dreams. I love that they bless me with grace every day! I love that I am creating an amazing life beyond my wildest dreams!”
Make a list of everything you love. List the things you already have and what you want to attract into your life, and remember what is most important is to feel the love.
Thoughts create, but emotions create even faster, so feel the love.
When you send something out into the universe, it comes back to you tenfold. If you send love, you will receive love in abundance.
When you send fear into the universe, it also comes back to you tenfold, so it is better to invest your energy in what is best for you!
Love attracts love, so when you see something you love, say so! When you show God and the angels what you love, you attract it to you. The reverse is also true. When you show God and the angels what you do not like, you also attract that to you.
For example, in 2011 I left the office with a colleague for a coffee break and I saw a beautiful convertible go by. I said to my colleague, “Wow! Did you see that beautiful car? It is my dream to have a convertible one day, but I would like one with a hard top!” I did not even know such a car existed. The next morning, I took my little eight-year-old Volkswagen Golf to the garage for regular maintenance, and while I waited for them to take me back to the office, I noticed a brochure with a picture of a white convertible with a hardtop—the Volkswagen Eos. My heart skipped a beat. I took the brochure, and when the manager drove me to my office, I asked him about the car. He said they just happened to have one sitting in the parking lot if I wanted to try it out when I returned to pick up my car at the end of the day.
After work, the manager was waiting for me outside with the key. He had a dark blue Eos parked out front with the top down. He handed me the key and told me to bring it back after dinner. So I picked up my mother, my niece, and her friend and we drove around town several times. What an experience! People often say that to try it is to adopt it. This was certainly the case. Since I had recently sold my house, I decided I could afford to buy myself a little luxury. I told myself it was no different than a man buying himself a big truck. Why not spoil myself a little? I had the money, and life showed me that my dream car existed. I ordered a candy-white Eos—a color that represents purity, summer, and fun at the beach. It suited me perfectly!
When we admire something that someone else has, we attract it to us, but when we envy what another has, we send negative energy into the universe and we push away what we really desire for ourselves. It is so important to be happy for other people, because that positive emotion will attract to us the desired object or situation. Be happy for your friend who received a promotion, for your neighbor who bought a new home, or for your sister who is taking her dream vacation. Feel only love for everything good that is happening in the lives of others. When you are happy for the success of another person, it is like saying to the universe, “I would like that too!”
The angels also suggest that we be loving toward everyone we meet. Resist the temptation to judge others. Judging is not being loving.
Let me share an example of how judgment can attract a so-called negative situation. I went out with a guy for two and a half years. After the first six months, he said to me one day, “I don’t think I’m in love with you!” Despite his admission, we remained together for two more years. When I finally left, I questioned with very strong emotion, “How could he stay with me all this time without being in love?” I could not understand but really wanted to.
A few years later, I dated another guy for fourteen months. And when I left him, it popped into my mind that I had spent all that time with him without being in love. The relationship was convenient at the time for various reasons. Life had brought me the exact same situation in reverse to help me understand. This is when I realized that we should never judge or condemn others, because we will attract to us the very same situation to help us understand what others are living.
At the same time that I was being taught this lesson, an acquaintance of mine experienced a similar situation. She had judged her best friend severely when her husband had left her friend for another woman, so much so that she had severed ties with her friend. Remember, we attract what we judge and need to understand. Shortly thereafter, this woman’s husband also left her for another woman.
When you ask, “But how could that person have done such a thing?” it is like saying to the universe, “I want to understand how that person could do such a thing!” Be very careful. Do not judge or condemn, because life will help you understand.
Try to see love in every situation in your life and be loving and understanding toward others. If you are experiencing a difficult situation, ask the angels to help you transform it with love. Love is always the answer. Always ask, “What would love do?” The answer will come to you.
When you look at life through the eyes of love, you see beyond appearances. You see the perfection of everything that exists around you. You see that the person who irritated you or hurt you also has fears. You develop compassion for others. With love, you can understand what is not obvious at first glance: the fact that each person is a divine being, a child of God. Every person is living their own fears. When you look with the eyes of your heart at a person who intimidated you or wronged you, you will understand that this person is simply afraid of losing your love.
Remember that each person does their best with the knowledge they have. You may be disappointed with a person you love, like your mother, your father, your spouse, your friend, but know that this person is doing their best with the knowledge they have. When we know better, we do better. Do not hesitate to ask your angels to help you find love and compassion for those around you. Focus your attention on what is positive in the person; maybe they have a big heart for children and animals, or maybe they are involved in a charity. Everyone has something good inside of them. Ask your angels to help you discover it if you have difficulty.
Know that you also need love. You need your own love. Love yourself. Be kind and gentle with yourself and never demean yourself, thinking that you are less than others. You are perfect just as you are. The angels say we are much too hard on ourselves.
When you think, “My God, I’m fat!” you are attracting even more weight to yourself. Similarly, if you say, “My God, I am wrinkled!” it will attract even more wrinkles. The angels suggest you go buy yourself clothes that will make you feel beautiful. They exist. When I put on weight, I go buy myself new pants a size larger so I feel thinner, and after a few weeks I lose the extra pounds. Wearing bigger pants makes me feel beautiful and slim, and that is what I attract.
There is a solution to every problem, and more love is always the solution. Ask, “How can I love myself more?” For wrinkles, I apply cream every day and night. I pay close attention to how I apply it as well. When I apply my face cream, I caress my face and tell my skin how beautiful it is. The fact that I take care of my face shows it the love I have for it. If you do not like something about yourself, give even more love to this part of your body. Pour the lotion on your thighs, your belly, your breasts, etc., and tell them, “I love you!”
Look at your body and your face with love and compassion. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself every morning and evening, “I love you! Although ___________, I love you anyway!” Be your own best friend.
When you hear bad news, either on TV or in your life, send love to the situation. Say, “Dear angels, thank you for helping me send love, peace, and understanding to the people who are living a difficult time. Help them understand and accept what they are living. Help them understand that this event is part of a larger plan of which only God and the souls involved know the purpose.”
When your friend confides in you about what she is experiencing, try to listen with your heart. Be understanding. If you have trouble with this, ask your angels to help you open your heart. If you judge, you will attract to you the same situation to help you better understand it. The angels gave me the idea that we can imagine seeing others through heart-shaped glasses to see others with love. Another idea is to imagine yourself inside a huge heart in 3-D. This heart will be between you and others to remind you to remain in your heart. Awesome!
Be love in all your interactions: with yourself, your family, your friends, your neighbors, your community, and your planet.
Be gentle and compassionate with yourself and your loved ones. Forgive yourself and others. Thank God and the angels for everyone who is a part of your life. Send them love and gratitude. Take care of your community. Help your neighbors. A well-intentioned prayer can create miracles. Do your part for the planet. Be a conscious consumer. Reduce your carbon footprint. Be love.
Love is the greatest force in the universe. In fact, the universe is love. God is love. We are love. Love heals everything. So we can conclude that we are also God, we are love, and we can heal everything.
EXERCISE
Love attracts love. Make a list of everything you love in life. List all the things you already have and also what you want to attract in the future. Remember that the most important thing is to feel the love.
Thoughts create, but emotions create even faster, so feel the love. For example:
• “I love my life!”
• “I love ___________.”
When we admire something that someone else has, we attract it to us, but when we envy what another has, we send negative energy into the universe and push away what we really desire for ourselves. It is so important to be happy for other people.
What do you admire about others? Write it down. Here are some examples:
• “I admire people who follow their passion.”
• “I admire people who travel the world sharing their passion with others.”
Then rewrite the sentences:
• “I, too, desire to follow my passion!”
• “I, too, desire to travel the world sharing my passion with others.”
Prayer for Love
“Lord God and my beloved angels, help me to see myself with love and compassion, help me to see others with the same love and compassion, and help me to feel love for my enemies, my attackers, and all those who have done me wrong. With your support, I send them love and pray for their well-being.
“Lord God and my beloved angels, help me to send love, peace, and understanding to those who are experiencing difficult times. Help them understand and accept the situation with grace. Help me see the perfection in my own life and in every situation that presents itself to me. Thank you, Lord God and my darling angels, for your unconditional love. It is my greatest desire to love myself and others as purely as you do.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
