Occupy Your Heart

Love’s Energy
Do you know that people can feel you?  It may not be conscious but they will respond to the feeling.  The energy we send out will repel or attract and those around us will behave accordingly.  Our job is to offer the energy of love.  That’s it.  That’s how we each transform our own little corner of the world and co-create a world that works for all.  Where do we start?  With our relationships

Dr Michael Beckwith once said,  “All the love your heart can hold, all the success you are meant to experience is already within you, begging to be released through your love energy. Today, open the floodgates of your heart and pour out a blessing of Love into your own life. Then see how outrageously rich you are in the gifts of the Spirit.”  There are a couple of things worth noting here.  First, you already are all that you need; love, success, joy.  All of it.  Second, open your heart and pour out all that energy and you are outrageously blessed.

The first relationship we have is the eternal one between our Spirit and our Creator.  That is why we already are all that we need.  Our next relationship is between our Spirit and our human self.  Our human self must come to realize the truth of our nature and once it does, the pouring out of love can begin.  This comes gradually, over time and with practice, but it is there for every one of us.  The more in touch we are with our own love nature, the better all our relationships will be. 

I heard this story of a man overcome with joy during a great Sunday service and he began dancing up and down the aisles shouting, “Lord, fill me.  Fill me Lord, fill me now.  And he hears a voice say, “I am filling you, but you keep leaking.”  That’s exactly what happens, it’s an energy leak in us.  When we have a relationship rift with someone, the energy of love is leaking out of us.  There’s a place in us where darkness is, where love cannot live and we bring light into that darkness by healing the relationships within ourselves then with others.

I think that’s the kind of thing Jesus was saying.  Our whole life is on the line.  “I came that you might have life and have it abundantly,” and when the energy of separation begins to build in me, he’s saying, “make this primary.”  Make it primary in your life that you don’t allow this stuff in you.  Reschedule your day if you have to.  If you recognize a breach in love, climb all over it right now.  It’s primary to heal that because if you don’t, it leaves another measure of darkness in both of you.  “Oh there’s a relationship hurt, I feel something, I feel separation, what am I going to do?”  Allow your Spirit to shine through your humanity and radiate the love that you are.
