It is well known that when visualizing something you want to create, or attract into your life it is important to leave as many doorways as possible open for spirit to walk through in answering your prayer. When it comes to things such as love or approval this is also true, though often challenging to remember and follow.
If you insist that someone’s love or approval is the only answer to your prayer, you are seriously limiting the universe’s options. In many cases we compound the challenge by insisting that this much sought love and approval be expressed in specific ways.
But we are living in a universe that has a foundation of love and approval for all beings (not to say that experience is not often otherwise), in which there are sources in nature, in ourselves, in the very fabric of existence, and in many other people, met and meetable, and yet we have all our awareness focused (consciously or unconsciously) on a few hard closed rocks in this sea of energy.
Take your sword of discrimination and begin to slice the bonds that bind you, that wrap you in the dark. Feel your light begin to expand. Give back all the invalidation that you have accepted. Slice some more ties. You are expanding further. Brightening from your core. Open yourself to the sea of possible love and approval around you, the very energy of space and time, the sunsets or the warmer breezes as spring approaches. Breath deeply and let the bindings fall away.
Reclaim the validations that were passed over before. Keep breathing.
Let go of the stories, settle into feeling. Open to the feeling of receiving, even if you think you don’t know how. Let go of that story. Feel whatever you feel, while calling in joy, love, and approval. Wait for things to shift. Breath. Feel into that part of yourself, inner, higher, whatever, that knows, and has always known, that you are worthy, lovable, capable, or whatever else you have felt was lacking. Let go of the memories that reflect only the bound, wounded, small version of yourself. Lift these parts up into the light. Experience your higher self receiving them and giving them what they want. Your expansive self is a part with the light of creation that flows all around us. Breath deep. Relax. Open yourself to joy and love and amusement.
