Living and loving with one heart gives you a unity of purpose in your life. Do you know what we are meaning here? Think about your heart and how many different ways that you have for loving – your life partner, your parents, your children, your friends, your work, your pets, your home, your car, your favorite sweater. You use the term ‘love’ to describe a feeling about all of these people and objects.
We are talking about ‘love’ in the sense of the verb that is sourced in your heart of heart, the place within your body where the energy of your higher energy centers and your lower energy centers come together. Your Heart Center is the place where the energy from Mother Earth comes up through your body and meets the higher vibration energy that comes through the top of your head from Source energy, the Universal Source of Love & Light. These energies meet in your Heart Center and you can make a decision to send this energy out to others in a specific way that is not about how you feel about them.
Think of the people that you thought you loved in your life but for whom your feelings dimmed when they failed to live up to your expectations of them. How many objects have you said you ‘loved’ yet discarded when they were no longer useful? This is not the kind of love that we are addressing here.
We want you to think of Love as an energy that connects you to another because you choose to make that connection. Think of your partner or child or grandchild or dear friend and think of holding them in a Love energy that does not have expectations, has no rules for them to follow, does not require reciprocation for you to hold them in that Love energy. This Love comes from Consciousness, not from feelings. This Love has no requirements on the other party. And this Love has a great benefit to you because it allows you to maintain your own energy at a higher level than that of feelings.
We understand that all humans experience feelings and we are not telling you that there is anything wrong with having feelings. But as a person who is committing to live a Conscious Life on Planet Earth then you are one who must learn about the higher vibrations of energies that take you above your feelings while allowing you to honor how you feel. For some of you this might seem confusing but there are ways that you can achieve this.
For example, when you are in a close relationship with another person, you are, by definition, going to experience reactions and emotions in that relationship. Whether that person is a relative or loved one or colleague or boss, because you are both human, you will have feelings. But the awake and aware individual knows that the relationship does not hinge only on the feelings of a moment. The relationship is being forged in a whole collection of moments and requires that each participant be allowed the space and energy for personal growth within that relationship. When one person refuses to grow the whole relationship suffers from that decision. But when one person decides to operate in the relationship from their Heart Center, always holding the other person in the energy of Universal Love, then both parties benefit.
Do you see that the decision to hold another person, or a relationship, in the energy of Universal Love allows you to expand in your growth into Consciousness and allows the other person the opportunity to learn lessons and to also grow in Consciousness? The difficult part of this is that you have no control over what the other person chooses to do in this situation. They might choose to cut themselves off from the flow of Universal Love. They might choose to ignore the opportunity for personal growth that has been afforded them. They might even choose to turn around and attack you in the situation because you are not engaging with them at a lower vibration of energy. But this does not mean that you can or should change your connection to the Source of Universal Love nor does it mean that you are right or they are wrong. It simply means that you are operating in that moment from different vibrations of energy. And this has nothing to do with how either of you is feeling in that moment.
Making a choice to find the space within you that holds the energy of Universal Love and then to participate in all relationships from that place will change the world around you. You will find that the person who benefits the most from this is not the person on the other side of a relationship but is, indeed, yourself. And holding yourself in the energy of Universal Love is Self Love, the place from which any love for others must flow.
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Hold the World in Love
January 21, 2010 — RosemarySometimes the hardest message about Love that we have to hear is the one about loving from a centered place that does not necessarily reflect what we are feeling in a certain moment. Feelings can overwhelm us and when we are faced with a very emotional situation it can be extremely difficult to remember to project the energy of Universal Love.
The way to remind ourselves is to pause, take a breath, and notice how we feel without acting on that feeling yet. Of course, if what you are feeling is fear of the sabre-toothed tiger who is bearing down on you, then you might want to run while you pause! But, even then, you will find that reaching into the place of peace and Universal Love within you and projecting that energy outside of yourself can calm the energy around you. A friend encountered a mountain lion near her kitchen door and she went outside holding only Love and peaceful energy within her. She talked soothingly to the mountain lion while he looked at her. The picture shows a brilliant light shining forth from the eyes of the mountain lion – an amazing photo! My friend stayed in a higher vibration than fear and had a wonderful experience of close proximity with a mountain lion.
So what happens when we pause and breathe? We then have time to move into the ‘observer mode,’ the place where we have the most resources for choosing a course of action. When we can observe ourselves in a situation we can also observe possible outcomes of the choices we see before us. If we stay in the emotion of the moment our vision is narrowed and we frequently can’t see multiple options from which to choose our next step. And when we notice what is going on in our body in that moment we have even more information to work with.
Try this the next time you are interacting with someone, even if there are not intense emotions in the minute. Take a second to visualize the Light and Love that is streaming into the top of your head from your connection to the Universal Source of Love and Light and connect with that energy in your Heart Center. Then really look at the person, really notice them, really listen to them. Notice how it feels in you when you do this. This isn’t about bombarding them with Light energy, for that would be an invasion of their boundaries. This is more like holding a space for them to be in connection with you in a bubble of this Love and Light. They have the option of choosing to step into the bubble or to step away from it, but you are defining the vibration in which you wish to hold this interaction. When someone chooses not to engage at this level of energy, that is their prerogative but you don’t have to step into a space that is not appropriate for you.
The person who is living the Conscious Life will practice always operating from this level of awareness and connection, with other people and with the Universal Source of Love and Light. Imagine how peaceful the world would be if everyone operated in this energy. You might not have the power to make the entire world enjoy this vibration but the world around you will certainly change when you are holding this energy in every situation!
