Love as a Way of Life

I believe our natural state of being is one of Love. When we are not in allignment with Love, our environment feels dissipated and clustered, among the many types of ill feelings. And yes, it does lead to physical illness also. I am currently focused on bringing loving values to all environments, as it seems to be direly lacking in most areas of life. I am in the process of creating a more loving world and my quest continues.

I am on Twitter and Deepak Chopra was recently talking about love, too. I loved everything he said and his words resonated with me. Then he mentioned it was all from his book "The Path to Love". I could totally relate to it and maybe you could take a look at it too. Let me give you an excerpt from it briefly.

From Deepak Chopra (p.34): The Path to Love

"The mostvaluable thing you can bring into any relationship is your spiritual potential. This is what you have to offer when you begin to live your love story at the deepest level. Like the seed needed to start the life of a tree, your spiritual potential is the seed for your growth in love. Nothing is more precious. Seeing yourself with the eyes of love makes it natural to see others that way too. You will be able to say of your beloved, as the poet Rumi does:

You are the secret of God's secret.

You are the mirror of divine beauty."

Creating a Loving World into Reality

Greetings of Love to you....

I have been going through some challenging times with my life, as I'm sure most of you are in one way or another with yours. I have found my 'spark' again, so to speak. I am reminded of some lessons that I had had learned along the way but had forgotten during those difficult times. I have decided to share some of these reminders with you and the Truths that I have discovered in the journey of my life.

• Be the voice of hope, the voice of peace, the voice of love. Let that be the voice of everyone of us, steadfast in the knowingness of our oneness. As you open yourself up to this Pure Love within you, the Joy is great, the Peace is present and the Harmony of Love and Peace assured.

• Let the Love prevail, and allow the Truth of you to be present: a Truth that has you fully empowered, busily co-creating with others, a journey of the Heart.

• You are of Love: as you speak of Love, from Love, as Love, you express your true essence. The journey is to keep choosing Love. Let's dream, create, our new world of Love, Peace and Happiness into reality. With this understanding, comes the answer you have been seeking.

I find it exciting to be creating this vision of reality based on LOVE. And I invite you to join me in this lovely journey. You and me.... and all of the people around us.

p/s: I love the job title I created for myself, "Creator of Loving Environments". I love sharing our loving values and ways of being to create this Loving World. What a wonderful challenge to manifest this vision into reality! I LOVE.....

Healing and UnConditional Love

Dear Loved Ones,

I hope you are all doing well. We are now into the new year of 2009 and I feel it'll be a year of change, growth and transformation from the personal into the public sphere. We are the change we have been waiting for and it is time for us to step up to our personal responsibility in creating a better world for all. It begins with us, then to our family, friends, community, nationally and globally.

We begin by creating our own peaceful world within ourselves and to lead a loving way of life by connecting to everything in the world around us. We are social beings whose natural state is one of love and we need that connection to humanity and to nature for our own harmony. After all, we are one.

All of us need to do our part to heal our Planet Earth and Humanity. Every little gesture, thought, and prayer helps to heal all wounds. Even for your own self. Especially for yourself. If you really understand how we are all interconnected and interdependent, you would know any healing gestures done for others, will also heal you. And if you focus on healing yourself, to truly love and respect yourself too, it means the world is healing too. You see, the world and you are the same. Your thoughts, feelings and emotions that you have now, is creating your reality and your future this very moment.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I do wish you a wonderful and magical 2009 ahead! It's all about love and peace for me. I am committed to creating a more loving world and will continue in this quest. Looking forward to exciting adventures in this journey! Take care and may we all live in a world overflowing with Unconditional Love!

With lots and lots of love, Shareen.
