Give and Receive Love

Parenting (Part 15)
Give and Receive Love
Love begins and ends with the Self, that we cannot Love others unless we first love ourselves. Many people believe that they will love themselves once someone else loves them first but unless we are a source of Love, we cannot attract loving relationship. 

Self-love gives us the strength to be vulnerable, to drop our defences, to reveal our own truth - knowing that we have nothing to hide, no need to pretend. 

As we love and accept ourselves as we are, we become more loving and giving, and genuinely enjoy others company. Other people feel relaxed and 'Safe' with us, and respond by being more open and honest - so we naturally develop good friends and loving relationships.

Self-Love mean we give love freely, without expecting anything in return - a spontaneous hug, an unexpected bunch of flowers, a warm smile for a stranger, a loving note in a child's lunch box, an offer for help to a friend in need, a cheque to a charity which has touched your heart, or simply saying 'I Love You'.

True Love always feels good. It makes our heart sing and our spirit dance. It nourishes our soul, but to do this, love has to flow freely in both directions.
