Love.

Well, we could reflect on this subject for a long, long time! However, the point of the A to Z of Becoming series is to consider 26 verbs ie doing words which if you do them, you will experience the joy and deep satisfaction of becoming all you can be.

So, for this week, let’s do two things with love. Let’s start by either making a list, or reflectively meditating about who and what we love. This is love as it flows from you to the other. Who is included in your love world? When does your heart fill with love? It would be good to allow yourself to be honest and gentle with this. Don’t judge. Don’t judge the quality of the love or include who you think you should love but don’t! Instead get in touch with that loving feeling.

I remember years ago I used to listen to “pirate radio” stations – one in particular (Radio Caroline) used to talk all the time about “getting the LA habit” – by which they meant “loving awareness”. Maybe it became clichéd through repetition, so lost its power, but I still admired that they chose to put it out there (see the comments below). And that’s the second part of this week’s exercise….

Once you have become more aware of who you love, of when your heart fills with love, then ask yourself…when did you last vocalise this feeling? Yes, in other words, when did you last tell that person you love them. Maybe with some of the people on your list the answer to that will be a few minutes ago, but for some, I bet the answer might be a few days, or weeks, or months, or even years ago…..? Well, how about doing it this week? How about just telling the people you love that you love them? Raise the level of loving awareness in the world!
