Shy Owl’s Soap Box

Love is the most common theme in every reading that I provide. It seems to me that there is a difficulty in letting go of the self in order to become part of a whole. That of course applies to both sides of the fence.

Your ego benefits in keeping you in a stagnant position because it allows it to remain in control. The first step to finding love is to let your ego know that you do still need it on some level. It is the mechanism by which we are able to interact in the earth plane. You need your ego as much as you need, to an extent, your fears. Your fears let you know when there is danger. It becomes a problem when fear is created by your ego as a tool for control and is then owned as reality.

It is a tough path, working in this world dealing with essentially an angel and a devil on your shoulders at all times bickering and conspiring against you. What can be done? You need to get them on the same team. To look at each fear or reaction in a detached way, to asses where it is rooted. Instead of just dismissing and pushing through, find out why this energy has arisen. What are you being taught?

By getting everyone on the same team, you will find yourself in the position to let someone else into your life in a healthy way. Love is the sharing of energy towards the same goal of learning this life’s lessons efficiently and effectively.

There are some other tools you can use to help you find love. Carry a rose quartz or wear it. Red aventurine as well as basil and cloves. If you already have a medicine bag, add it in, if not, any small pouch will work nicely.

Love and forgive yourself. How can someone else love you if you hate yourself? How can you be respected if you don’t respect yourself?

Lastly, be open and receptive. Not unwise of course, but open. As you set out the energy for love, you want to be certain you are drawing in the right kind of love. Throw away the notion of “soul mates”. Mostly that is an exaggeration brought to you by Hollywood. Your actual soul mate comes in to challenge you, not to make your life a piece of cake so you may want to rethink pulling in that energy.

Many Blessings
