"Where is the love?"

The deepest connection two people can have is at the soul level.
When that happens, there is a communion of energy that will forever live in our memory, a small treasure , so to speak, a pearl that will shine for eternity.
Rich are those who possess many of those pearls.

When we talk of healing, we primarily think of physical healing, then emotional healing and , digging deeper, the healing of the soul. The soul is the deepest part of us, the core, the eternal, indestructible "I".
Just like everyone else, we want it to be well, whole and filled with love. Yet, with the daily emotional challenges, compounded with our memories of difficult and challenging past events, it is hard for our soul to be at peace and be fulfilled.
Some may ask: "Where is goodness? Where is all the love that I should be getting?" Intuitively, we know that all these wonderful nurturing  feelings are our birthright. When a baby is born and , as it grows, learns to interact with the world around it, it will always approach others with wonder and positive anticipation. Unless of course, an individual is particularly scary and outwardly hostile, then the baby will be scared. But, under normal circumstances, it will trust and believe that individual has good intentions. "This is bad" has to be taught to a young child. "Don't talk to strangers" has also be instilled in them as they naturally trust.
As we grow up and experience disappointment, hopelessness, grief, anger...etc and other negative trapped emotions, our hearts are not trusting anymore, far from it. Many end up building what Dr. Nelson calls in his book 'The Emotion Code' a 'heartwall': it is a energetic wall made up of negative trapped emotions that is put up so that we don't get hurt again. The downside of having such a wall is that it isolates us, it cuts us off the flow of love and good energy that we so long for.

I would like to share something that has been happening more and more when I do sessions with people: as old negative emotions are released, the positive counterpart  is right there, ready to move in.
Let me give you some examples that happened during two sessions I did yesterday. I will write the trapped emotion that was released and under it the positive one that came during the release, as if it has been waiting all along but could not move in as it cannot share space with its negative counterpart.
* betrayal
**"I believe everything is in Divine order" Trust
*overwhelm
**"I can handle everything that comes my way."
*discouragement
**The verse came to mind: " "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the
LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
*self-abuse
**"I am a child of God" unconditional love from God toward self
*terror
**"I will watch over you" safety, security, comfort


What all that is teaching me is that all that we ever wanted, desired, longed for is so very, very close but unless we make room for it by getting rid of the negative emotions, it will not 'move in'. Two energies of opposite vibration cannot share the same space. As long as we hold on to the old, damaging, sabotaging emotion, the one we truly want is waiting.


So to answer the question "Where is goodness, where is love?" that were asked initially, the answer would be:"They are all around us like guests waiting for a room to be available for them."
So instead of blaming others, the world or even God himself, we should examine ourselves and not wait till the day we move on and ask: "Where has love been all this time?" only to hear "I was with you all along but you never let me in."
