Today’s guest is the wild and wonderful me… with sort of a bonus episode recorded the day after Valentines Day. Putting myself and my thoughts and beliefs out there in the most vulnerable way I have done yet on this show. This episode is about my take on what love means inspired from a recent plant medicine journey facilitated by Soltara Healing Centre. I recorded this as my contribution to the “Thank You Plant Medicine Day” initiative that was held on February 20th. 2020. Years of professional interest on the topic of Love and of course life experience and painful teachings have developed my capacity to Love and my understanding of Love. Now, my Love for self, others, and the Earth is something I am more mindful of as a gauge of how aligned with the flow of Unconditional Love (LOVE) I am throughout my day/life. I believe that after having a strong sense of the source of our Love we can know where to shine our Love flashlight in this life. From my deep nature connection work and my recent work with Ayahuasca I have a knowing that LOVE is the fabric of the Universe. I can also see we can all cultivate this LOVE in a way that will add purpose, peace, and presence to our life. I find if I want to cultivate this love I need to keep up with my daily spiritual practices and spend time connecting with the land. That said, learning from pain through the egoic realms of Love is one of the greatest teachers I have ever had, and I realize now that if we choose to acknowledge, sit with, learn and move our pain we can be more Loving of self and by doing so, we are more Loving towards each other and the natural world. Essentially our Love can heal ourselves and heal the world. Once we learn from the pain teacher and integrate that into our life we can more easily orientate ourselves to the omnipresence and flow of eternal LOVE and we free ourselves from suffering and over identifying with our pain. Enjoy the Show… Love you!
