LOVE IS.

It seems that one of the most difficult things to let go of is the anger of past relationship.
This sadness of lost hopes and dreams.
The frustration at them not fulfilling their part in the promises they made to you.
A frustration of things not going your way.
It can cause this inner contraction and a holding on to resentment.
It may be that you wish they were still yours instead of someone else’s.
It may be that you secretly hope they will fail or get hurt.
It could be a kind of stalking their life, checking in for any sign that they miss you.
Even to the extreme ~ a plotting of, or furthermore acting upon revenge.
However…
Can we see the pain in all of the above.
Recognising deeply that the one who is actually hurting is the self and not them can help us to become conscious of the game we are playing with ourself.
Recognising this can start to loosen the contraction around it.
What we are looking for in relationship is Peace & Love.
Of course this isn’t always easy to navigate when emotion is raw.
Gently turning inward ~ over & over, witnessing the often intense emotions ~ being here for ourself instead of looking ‘out there’ for something to change.
Witnessing the energy of injustice and allowing tears to fall when they arise.
Noticing when fear of letting go is here and does eventual pass… even if it visits again and again.
And of course practicing self compassion is helpful until it is seen that this is already naturally within…
…Eventually, an inner relaxation and forgiveness all round is found.
Always remembering to let go of time frames and reminding one’s self that nothing has gone wrong if we seemingly go ‘back and forth, up and down’ with this.
Take Care ~ Precious ONE.
