Spiritual Tool: Sending Love

When we’re on a spiritual path, we want to think that we are only about Love and Light (right?) And we probably are for the most part. However, we all have times when we feel our “human-ness”. We face challenging situations, have arguments, lose our cool with our kids, or just have a plain old bad day. This is just part of the “spiritual beings having a human experience” thing.

But we have a powerful spiritual tool available to us at all times to help smooth out these tricky times. And it’s so simple, yet not always easy to remember.

We can just Send Love.

Perhaps you and a loved one aren’t seeing eye to eye lately. Perhaps you’re dealing with a difficult boss or client. Perhaps you’ve been worrying about the outcome of a particular situation (especially when you feel you have no control over the outcome). Or maybe you are beginning to put up some healthy boundaries for yourself, and others are having a hard time adjusting to them.

You can just send Love. Imagine Love swirling in your heart space and then imagine it flowing out to the other person. You can picture Love surrounding and infusing the situation or the relationship.

Sometimes we are too angry at the moment to muster up any actual feelings of Love, but you can always call upon the energy of Unconditional Love or ask your angels to flood each of you with Love. You’ll be amazed at the shift this simple thing can create. It may help you or the other person be more compassionate and understanding. It may soften the intense emotions. It may also help those involved see that the other’s behavior is coming from stress or fear, etc. It can be very healing.

It’s actually a great practice to do each day. Send Love to your loved ones, those you work with, people driving on the freeway, to different situations, places at war…you name it!

I have to remind myself of this tool at times, too. Just imagine this at my house (hopefully you’ll get a chuckle out of this):
3 teenage boys (attitudes!)
+ 1 menopausal mom (yikes, that’s me!)
= 1 volatile cocktail!

Definitely looking rather human instead of “angelic” and spiritual at times Gotta keep on sending (and receiving) the Love!
