Episode 132 - Love With All Your Heart
Love is our ability to know Oneness with all that is. It is also our ability to attract, unify, harmonize and desire for only Good to come to all. Love has no conditions and sees no boundaries. Our world could use some of that now. Can we be love in the face of someone who has disrespected or harmed us? Or can we express love to someone who despises, mischaracterized, or misunderstands us? Can we unconditionally accept love from anyone? In this episode, we explore these questions and also share how we express love with all our hearts for the Divine Itself.
NOTES:
No matter what we are facing in life - easy or hard - our ability to navigate through it with ease and grace rests on the rigor of our spiritual practice
