Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Do I Love Me? Many of the relationship questions that I am asked during readings with clients focus on whether someone loves them. It is hard to be in a relationship with someone who does not seem to love you, especially when you love that person. And the answer is not a simple 'yes' or 'no' because there are two dynamics at work in this situation that involve both people. The question is not whether they love each other but whether they love themselves. Most problems in romantic situations do not focus on the relationship between the two people, they focus on the relationship that each individual has with themselves. How often do we consider whether we love ourselves? Probably not very often. It seems to be a rather self-centered issue. And yet the degree to which we love ourselves has a profound effect on every aspect of our lives, especially our romantic relationships. Archangel Uriel often says that we will never find someone who loves us more than we love ourselves. Yet if a relationship has problems we tend to blame the other person, the timing, the situation or other circumstances. Is there a lesson in self-love to be learned? We satisfy our need for love through romantic relationships, seeing them as being proof that we are lovable. However, these relationships are not an indicator of our ability to be loved, they are an indicator of how much we love ourselves. No one can give to us what we are unable to give to ourselves. So no one can give us enough love to compensate for any lack that we feel in that area. If we start a relationship from that standpoint we will either find someone who can't love us or who can't love us enough. And this is true of every aspect of our life-every situation reflects our level of self love back to us. We will receive as much love, appreciation and respect from others as we give to ourselves. Understanding that receiving love starts with our ability to give it to ourselves first will help us find the perfect partner who can give us all of the love that we want because they will reflect our self love back to us. It will help us create the perfect job where we are valued and respected. We will live in the perfect home, have loving and supportive friends and live a life of peace and joy. Every aspect of our life reflects how much we love ourselves. As with most aspects of our spiritual journey, it all starts with us and our willingness to recognize our own gifts and the greatest spiritual gift that we have is our knowledge of the unconditional love that connects us all. When we are willing to give that gift to ourselves, to love ourselves unconditionally, we will create our own heaven on earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
