Conscious love is the most intimate body, mind, and soul relationship. First and foremost with self, then with another.
Conscious love is when you invest in loving without walls, hesitation and fear, and hold yourself in compassion when you are not there yet.
Conscious love is when you can laugh your loudest, cry your ugliest, tell your deepest secrets without guilt or shame. It allows you to make love to your demons and stare fear in the face.
Conscious love is wearing your heart on the outside of your body, willing to risk being hurt or rejected. And to hide it under layers of self-protection when the pain is too raw and edgy.
Conscious love is strong and powerful. It can hold endless space with it's warmth, stability and firm boundaries. Sometimes it is scared and small, an inner child that needs to calm down in your arms.
Conscious love pushes you to be your best, and it wipes your tears and holds you close when you slip up.
Conscious love is pure and authentic, it has no agenda.
Conscious love can be messy and hard but it doesn't hold back. It pushes past the awkward and uncomfortable. It takes you to the bottom of yourself and allows you to see clearly. All delusion is gone. All that's left is truth.
Conscious love knows when it's safe to take the risk because it's mindful, and patient.
Conscious love is beautiful, it's magic, it's intoxicating, it's the way we were created to love and we know it when we experience it.
When you reach this level of depth and connection nothing is off limits, no conversation too uncomfortable, nothing needs to be hidden.
In order to attract this level of connection and be able to give this type of love to another you must have done *your work*. Not with the result of being a finished product but to be okay when things get messy and distressful.
You need to be complete, with or without a partner.
Only then can you love without attachment and fear.
Only then can you make the conscious choice who you will give your love to.
Only then can you love from the depths of your soul.
* Conscious is also all about embracing the Not Knowing. Unwavering control suppresses the natural wonder that expands and enriches our human experience as well as our Soul's journey.
Embracing the big Unknown is sacred, holy, divine, and liberating.~
