WHAT is it about love that we crave it beyond all else? Sure, we can attempt to fill the void with everything from food, substances, shopping, co-dependency, projection, unclear boundaries, blame, sex and habits in between and beyond. I certainly have leaned in all of those directions in my personal pursuits. Our past, including our early childhood family mapping, carves out the ways we long for and are driven to attract and hold on, sometimes desperately to love. These trodden neural, emotional and energetic pathways are often the best indicators for where we long for healing, and shifting of vantage points to experience healthy love, the kind that allows two individuals, grounded in themselves, to come together and elevate each other and, in doing so, expand their potentials for creativity.
NEW love is exhilarating and intoxicating, there is no comparable feeling and no substitute. It is like being lifted to the heavens in a state of ecstasy where we remember the sweetness of life, where colors are more vivid, where we easily find the humor in our day to day existence. When we find it, we wonder how long we could have been in the desert without it. Like Stevie Nicks romanticized in Sara, “Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown.” It is a true elixir.
AS love evolves, there often comes with it what I humorously refer to as the “roller coaster” effect. I have a pretty strong fear of heights and i can remember being on a roller coaster some years ago in NJ. It was the largest roller coaster there and I had a seat by myself at the front. As the ride climbed to it’s apex, I started to panic with the idea that my seat wasn’t fully secured. In a moment of crazy, I desperately tried to get out. All I wanted to do was get off the ride. I was terrified, but I could not get off! This is a rather accurate snapshot of what I feel like at times in my own relationships. Can you relate? All the places of fear and distrust that start to pop up in the most absurd of ways.
How can we heal and transform those places of unconscious negativity that show up in many, many ways — the desire to control, run away or hide in silence avoiding the truths we need to speak? How can we allow the elixir of love to enter deeply those places of past hurt and disappointment, to open our hearts and receive it’s healing magic. How do we stay in the power of the present moment without being stuck in the past or projecting towards the future? For me, I am great at giving, over giving and then pulling away as my own fears of intimacy get triggered, like buttons pushed on the television remote. My observer self holds this awareness and yet I hold a greater awareness. When we open ourselves to become vulnerable and receive the love, the elixir can move through us with the power and might of transformation like no other.
