Ahh, summer: Soda and pop, patio shifts, and the best freakin’ sex of the year. That is right — according to professionals, it really is the period that delivers your lust lifestyle to a steam. “Heat calms your muscle cells, increases epidermis feeling, and causes you to slowly down and get hold of your more languid, sexy part,” says psycho therapist Stella Resnick, PhD, writer of The Satisfaction Location. Willing to items up for your most torrid summer period ever? Believed so.

HOT HINT 1: Attire for the Weather
To lighting up your man's sex-related interest, cure him to his very own wet tee clothing dream. Put on a tissue-thin bright tee or tshirt and “accidentally” get wet (say, by getting applied by the lawn hose) so that it sticks alluringly to your system. Dressed in a soaked top will not only awesome you off, it’ll also generate him loco. “Men answer highly to visible hints,” says Resnick. “Being partly dolled up makes a bit of secret that folks find very sex-related. And the vision of you in a see through top that cuddles your elegant shapes and features your chests will really convert him on.”

HOT HINT 2: Turn Off the AC
BO phobes take note: Perspiration can have an stimulating impact on your sex lifestyle. “When you perspire, mate-attracting pheromones are eliminated by fragrance glands in your epidermis,” says doctor Mike Hirsch, manager of the Odor and Flavor Therapy and Analysis Groundwork in Chicago, illinois. “Neither of you will knowingly find the pheromones, but they sign-up in the part of the mind that manages sex-related tendencies and activates wish.”

Sweating also increases your own organic fragrance. “When you are in really like or even just in lust with somebody, there can be nothing more attractive than their fragrance, and the warm really amplifiers it up,” says sexologist Lisa Douglass, coauthor of The Sex You Want.

To tap into sweat’s satisfying abilities, let your bedroom’s temporary get exotic, then deliver your man into a foreplay craze by massaging his system with your own. “While the vision of your purged exposed system will stimulate him, men usually need stronger manhandling to become really switched on and have their pleasure encouraged to the next level,” says Douglass.

With that in mind, force your chests hard up against your guy, massaging them across his upper body and then moving down his system with your erect nips grazing his upper body. To get worse your contact, provide some amorous nips to his throat, belly, and buttocks.


HOT HINT 3: Work the Slowly Burn
“In the heated, your respiration and motions normally reduce,” says Resnick. “You can create the most of this effect by taking your lovely time during foreplay and sexual activity.”

To kick-start your slo-mo sex, present your man with a hot challenge: Create a bet that you can carry out on pouncing longer than he can. Then pain him with nerve-tingling spirits all over his throat and torso; action him carefully where his upper leg satisfies his groin; pathway your hair and lips down his returning to flame up his delicate expectation. Then it’s his convert to lure you. “Keep changing — progressively growing the stage of contact—until you cannot stand it for another second,” says Resnick. “When you build pleasure progressively to a high temperature message, your climax will be a highly effective launch.”

HOT HINT 4: Fun time Your Hot Spots
The term freezing bathtub may be a modern euphemism for “sex is not occurring,” but icy spritzing on a small can actually increase your satisfaction. “When there happens to be fidelity in comfort, the body system starts to evolve — significance, level of sensitivity is reduced,” says Resnick. “A well-timed—and placed—shock of freezing against extreme epidermis will step up pleasure and provide a satisfaction charge coursing through your body system.”

Keep a container of apply loaded with ice water next to the bed, and give each other a ideal touch to give the experience whenever things seem to be getting too hot. “To lead to a more extreme satisfaction reaction, aim for the nerve-packed, thin-skinned areas on each other person's body system, such as the erect nips, the returning of the throat, the inner hip and legs, the tailbone, or the backside of your legs,” says Resnick.

HOT HINT 5: Enjoy an Arctic Thrill
The perfect summer period sex toy: a minty skin-tingling lubricant (try Durex Play Pain, $6). “The uncommon chilling feeling when your human is extra heated makes you hyperaware of your satisfaction points, so the minute they are moved, you experience an ultra-lusty hurry,” says sex teacher Sari Locker, writer of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Awesome Sex. “The chilling feeling becomes more noticeable with each encouraged, and it seems amazing on erogenous areas. It’s basically like your nerve fibres are standing on end!”

To engage, add a nickel-size amount into your hand. “Then progressively propagate the fluid over his male organ, starting at the tip and working your way progressively down his base,” says Locker. Have him return the benefit by removing some of the lubricant onto your privates.

HOT HINT 6: Nourish the Flames
For some extremely delicious and tropics motivated sex, straddle him and shift seductively as you feed each other popsicles or vine ripened summer period fresh fruit. “Tasting that difficult flavor while sex costs through your systems will really improve your enjoyment,” says Locker. “Be sure to let your lips and systems get all unpleasant too, so you can ‘clean’ each other off with little notes and nibbles.”

Next, flame him up with an icy wait.“ Begin by stroking on a piece of ice and allowing little drops outflow onto his body system,” says Resnick. Once your lips is cold, find your dialect around his lips and then shift in for a difficult, wet ice-chip hug. Because his human is losing up and your lips is refreshingly freezing, your bears will provide impact surf through his system. “Then change and have him carry an ice processor in his teeth and use it to carefully find the shapes of your body system.” Do not worry, it will not take long to melt…and neither will you.

HOT HINT 7: Hit the Floor
If your summer period sex time gets too warm to keep (read: you are panting like a number of marathoners), take it to walk out and point a number of lovers toward you. “As the awesome wind performs over your sweat-soaked systems and carefully goes the little hair on your epidermis, you will experience reinvigorated,” says Locker. “The wind will create a hurry of new emotions that will add to the satisfaction you are feeling.” Bonus: The unique of changing your location from between the sheets to on the earth will also force up your pleasure stage.

HOT HINT 8: Enjoy That Post-O Flush
When you lastly failure returning onto the bed in a enjoyment coma…stay right where you are. Never shift for the AC. “Allowing your body system to remain heated while you are coming down from the high of ejaculation will increase pleasure and let you really experience how amazing you experience,” says Resnick. “If you convert on the air or leap into a awesome bathtub right away, the impact will awaken your body system from this restful, postorgasmic state.” So lie returning with your guy, close your eyes, and laze in the aftereffects of sexy summer time sex. Just think: Later on, you can have more of the same. Like we said: Ahh, summer…

One of the most loving and powerful actions we can take with our lives is to “hold the space” for ourselves and for each other.

Here’s an example. Even though we are fairly new to yoga, our gentle teacher, Valerie, “holds the space” for us – with joy and patience – as we discover what we don’t even know we don’t know. She sees what is possible for her students even before they can imagine the possibilities and she “holds the space” for us to move to higher ground. Without her patiently holding the space, we might never arrive. And also, without Valerie’s own deep life commitment to internally living the heart of yoga, she would not know how to hold the space for us.

In just this way, we can hold the space for each other. The crisis in the Middle East, for example, seems so far away from a true, just, and sustainable solution. Yet each of us can “hold the space” for the higher solution to come forward. We can work each day to eliminate our anger, prejudices, and strong feelings so that we are in a position to “hold the space” for this to come forward throughout the world. As we establish justice, compassion, and wisdom within our own internal being, we are then in a position to “hold the space” for others to experience this higher wisdom.

All of us face big life challenges – emotionally, occupationally, financially, in love, in health, and in self-esteem. Is there truly a solution for these challenges in your life? In all our lives? Will you make it to higher ground? Will we all make it to higher ground?

Yes, we will! We are holding the space for you - and for all humanity - right now. Just as our yoga teacher, Valerie, “sees” our assured future success in yoga, we already “see” your assured success, without even knowing you. Our confidence comes from already living in the embrace of Love’s higher wisdom where Love is always the healing answer. Have you noticed that, collectively as a civilization, we are all moving, even if inching, towards this all-healing Love space? Thousands of Love beings are “holding the space” for you - for all of us - to move into the reality of knowing our highest selves and living there.

What makes the principle of “holding the space” so immensely powerful is that we can do it so simply. As we order food at a restaurant, we can “see” our waitress or waiter as able to move to their heart’s desires. We can hold the space for them. As we daily meet our colleagues and friends, we can open our hearts so fully that we can sense their life needs and share our love and compassion with the higher wisdom that is "holding the space" for their inevitable success. As we look into the hearts of our most beloved and closest relationships, we can love them so fully that we actually see and openly acknowledge their inner dreams, hopes, and visions and we can then powerfully and confidently and patiently “hold the space” for the highest wisdom and love to embrace their lives.

As we approach life in this beautiful way of living, we become universal love healers. Our opening to higher love within our own being enables us to “hold the space” for others to feel this love. We also discover the necessity of becoming experts at “holding the space” for ourselves. "Holding the space" for yourself is essential, self-empowering, and part of your spiritual strengthening.

It’s not a question of “time” or “hurry” or “push.” We can hold the space with infinite patience and love. We may miss a yoga class, or a month of classes, yet Valerie is still there “holding the space” for those who show up – and even those who don’t yet even know that yoga is in their future. In just this way, we are holding the space for all healing in your life, in the Middle East, and in the universe. Thank you for holding the space for yourself, for us, and for each other.

How high can Love go? No limit!

What is the magnitude of your life? How bright & big is your radiance?

When we measure stars, for example, we measure them by the magnitude of their brightness. Imagine for a moment what your life would be like if you lived at your fullest magnitude. What would that look like and what would be the effect on the universe?

Much like a night gives place to the beauty and power of a single star’s brightness, each of us has the capacity to illumine the universe with our gifts.

We each came with gifts such as nurturing, healing, visioning, creating, building, uniting, humor, music, enthusiasm, communication, calmness, and infinitely more. You can discover your gifts by observing what gives rise to your innermost passions or the best words people use to describe you. Your gifts are immeasurable, incalculable, and enormously healing.

Now imagine how Love defines your magnitude. Love’s view of your magnitude might be labeled Absolute Magnitude – your ultimate illumination of Love. So the real question is, ‘How close are you right now to shining at your Absolute Magnitude?”

It is Soul’s design that each of us rise to our Absolute Magnitude and fully utilize our gifts. Mentally hold this place and be willing to release all that would hold you back, such as inner resistance. You might, of course, ask, “Why would anyone resist something so wonderful as realizing the full potential of their life’s magnitude?”

Resistance is subtle. It shows up with inner talk such as: “This concept of me is too big. I’m not that worthy. Who am I to have such radiance? What if I fail and disappoint people – or myself?” Resistance also shows up where your intellect argues with your heart. It complains, “I just don’t understand all this!” We further resist by holding our Highest Self at bay until we see “how” we’re supposed to carry it out.

Overcome such resistance by releasing the “how” and simply radiating the magnitude of love in your caring heart. Begin imagining how wonderful you will feel living at one with your Absolute Magnitude. Be mindful not to judge your mission as being too big, too hard, or to discount yourself as unqualified.

Imagine your brilliance equal to a heavenly star expressing the light of Love with full-scale brightness. Imagine radiating your compassion, understanding, patience, gentleness, and caring love to such a degree that you are a healing presence to the entire universe!

As you hold to the magnificence of this wonderful expression of yourself, please know that there will be times you may doubt all this to be true. You will even be sad that it seems distant or unlikely. You will have times when you lose your faith, telling yourself this is just something your ego dreamed up so you would feel valuable. These are merely emotional times when your old self is trying to go home and is disturbed that it cannot find its old resting places. The old, familiar place where you once thought you belonged no longer exists for you.

You are not lost. You are not even confused. You are still on track. Such times are a way mark to remind you to drop the burden of being your old self. Allow yourself to rise to your true self, qualified to be at your Absolute Magnitude of Love at all times, including now. Gently remind yourself that you are capable of navigating through life changes with comfort and thoughtful wisdom and not through emotionalism. Sit quietly within your magnificent self. Sweetly begin to occupy your light, your brightness of love, your absolute magnitude.

In the magnitude of your Love light, there are no shadows, no darkness. Your light is a law to darkness to transform it. Within this space of light is the enormity of your gifts and their immense value and necessity to Life’s ultimate design for you and for us all. When you think of your life in terms of brightness think also in terms of radiating your brightness.

Come out from timidity and be all you were created to be. The universe needs your brightest love – and now. Dare to be as BIG as you truly are! We are all in this together. Step into your light. Your light encourages other’s light. Do you feel the universe enlightening up? We so need your light. Welcome to the heart of Love!

How high can Love go? No limit!

So how high can a relationship go? No limit again if you are tuned to Love.

That’s why it’s so important to see your most treasured relationship spiritually. Spiritual love has no limits. This is the highest place of vision for a relationship to expand to ultimate love. From this vision, Love’s doors fling open to infinite expansion. No limits. Here are some ways to expand your love relationship on the way to infinity.

1. Cherish each other through the eyes of Love. Love vastly expands as we see our love mate through the eyes of Love and flow with reverence for our love mate’s spiritual qualities. Such cherishing brings into great clarity the central fusion of light that bonds two lovers. When two people look into each other’s soul with the eyes of Love, their relationship opens to all love’s possibilities.

2. Give gratitude for what makes your heart sing. Make a list of the top ways you each most value each other. Then share your ways in a sweet simple ceremony when you are in a quiet setting and alone together. Such sharing reminds each of you of your enormous value to each other. Love continually tells us how lovely and valuable we are.

3. Identify ways of expanding your love. Love often means different things to each partner. What are several ways you could each bring more love to your relationship? Talk about this gently together. The goal is more love, more intimacy, not judgment. Keep your hearts open and sweet. Find ways to laugh with each other and not be defensive. You may tread on tender emotions, but remind each other that you are in a wonderful process of elevating your relationship and letting your hearts move higher in unity.

4. Let your expanding relationship embrace the world. A relationship focused inward may seem joyous and complete, but to expand in infinite Love we need to open our hearts so wide that our love includes and embraces all humanity. We’ve all seen people madly in love, completely oblivious to anything or anyone else. That’s natural, of course, when someone is first in love. Yet those of us on the outside of that wonderful joy can easily feel excluded. That’s why we need to stay tuned to Love as all-embracing. Love, by it’s nature, is all-inclusive. Let everyone around you feel loved!

5. Identify your mission statement as a couple. A wonderful way of expanding your relationship in Love is to ask the transforming question, “What is the highest purpose of our relationship? What is our mission statement as a couple?” There is no right or wrong answer to these questions, of course, because Love is infinite. But asking these questions instantly places you into infinite, expanding Love flow. To think in terms of your relationship’s value to the world brings spiritual illumination to the larger reasons you have been brought together by Love.

6. See change as love expansion. Love’s infinite nature means constant expansion – constant change – in your relationship. Without spiritual perspective, we may resist change with the thought, “I’m happy just the way we are. I don’t want anything to change” or “I haven’t had time to adjust to the last Love change.” Change can easily feel like stress. But looking more deeply, change is about making higher and higher decisions to live more congruently with your divinity. Infinite Love is continually refining and elevating your relationship. Love wants you to become even more loving. Love wants you to replace all judging with total honoring. Love wants your relationship to expand to the ultimate. Welcome to the heart of Love!

As a new year opens its doors with infinite possibilities, each of us pauses and asks privately, “What do I really want in life?”

This is a wonderful question – a healing question – because it causes us to love ourselves enough to dig into our inner soul for the most profound and enlightening answers.

Let’s think big together – as big as we can – on this journey of self-awareness. In fact, what is a big enough vision of your life to satisfy your soul’s deep longing?

For ourselves, we came to this conclusion: Nothing could be more fulfilling than living in alignment with our sacred highest self. Imagine knowing and loving your highest self? Imagine living at your highest potential? Imagine being all you were intended to be!

Yes, of course, most of us need more money. Or a more fulfilling career. Or a better love life. These are legitimate goals. But who are you as you seek these goals? Would lots of money, a perfect career, and genuine love fulfill your soul? “Well,” you say, “that might come pretty close.”

Here, however, are some soul-provoking questions: Would you be a different person inside if these goals manifested? And the big question: Do you need to be a different person inside for these goals to manifest?

Such thoughtful reasoning awakens our sacred self. In quiet reverence, love yourself right now by asking, “What is my sacred, highest self?” “What is my greatest purpose in being alive?” Open your heart. Release you own goals. Let the answer come to you softly from the universe. Let your sacred highest self speak to you directly. Breathe in your sacred identity.

Notice how the answer forms itself in your heart – as qualities more than objects, qualities such as light, authenticity, love, integrity, kindness, openness, stillness, reverence, and living in this moment. The lesson gently arrives: Be your highest self from within. What you most seek is not outside you. Let your life move into alignment with your sacred self.

What would be the impact on your life of living in alignment with your sacred highest self? Is there anything more important? What would be the impact on the world around you?

At some point in our lives, each of us comes to a turning point of soul – a place in consciousness that says, “This is it. I will not continue living my life out-of-alignment with my sacred highest self.” As we make this shift, a massive influx of light instantly applauds our decision to live in oneness with our sacred self.

And with this light comes instruction. We recognize the spiritual necessity of releasing our heavy load of fear and anxiety associated with money, career, and love for the higher path of actually living as our sacred self independent of all form. Our need is not for occasional spirit-breaks from our intense lives. Our need is for a life that is spirit-centered. Sacred living must come first, not second, or next. We deserve to live at peace and in sacred alignment with who we are meant to be.

Every step we take towards our highest self brings us into alignment with the people, resources, and opportunities we are meant to experience and enjoy at the highest level of existence. Whenever we act below our highest self, these sacred soul mates, resources, and opportunities do not manifest. For example, had each of us, the authors, not taken giant mental steps towards alignment with our sacred highest selves after our separate divorces, it is certain that we would have missed each other and not be together today – and you would not be reading this article.* In other words, every decision you make in favor of your sacred highest self creates a new and higher reality in alignment with your highest destiny.

As our intent to live our true selfhood deepens, the sacred pathway opens in a way unique for each of us. The path appears in infinite ways, but always when we are still and conscious, such as when we meditate in stillness, become conscious of breathing in light, practice devotional yoga, or any other means that connects us with our sacred self.

The need, however, is not what to do. Or how. The need is to be – to be your beautiful, sacred self. To let your highest light enrich your surroundings and world. And to be ever so gentle with yourself as you come into alignment. In this awakening to your sacred identity, allow yourself to experience fulfillment already welling up from within – already transforming the status of your life. This is the life you deserve. This is loving yourself well. Welcome to a new year with our full and unconditional support. Welcome to the heart of Love.

The power of honoring is extraordinary.

Think of how wonderful it feels when someone deeply honors and cherishes who you are – the real you! How many people in your life honor you so well that you feel absolutely loved and cherished in their presence? What are they doing that makes you feel so honored?

For one, they are not judging us. In fact, the exact opposite of judging is honoring. Judging tells us that, somehow, we are wrong. Honoring tells us we are wonderful – just as we are.

For another, they are loving us unconditionally. Is that even possible? Yes! Those who are expanding their skills of unconditional love are reaping phenomenal rewards. Not only are they uplifting lives, but they are experiencing the joy of living in the very heart of love itself.

Please take a deep breath right now – and hold it for 6 minutes. Just joking! Indeed, without oxygen – even for a brief period – we die. That’s a good way to understand the value of unconditional love. It’s like love oxygen. We need it – constantly. Love oxygen comforts and tells us we are worthy. It is available love – ready to supply whatever we need. What honoring!

Now for a humbling question. How many people do you honor so well that they feel absolutely – and consistently – loved in your presence? Even in this short article, we can feel the immense importance of taking honoring to a much higher place in our lives.

Many people today – after yoga classes, in emails, and in greeting or leaving each other – are reverently saying “Namaste.” It means, roughly, “I honor or salute the divinity within you!” What a simple and wonderful way to honor!

We also need to honor ourselves. By honoring your true spiritual self, you position yourself to operate at your highest place of loveliness. Shannon recently gave herself the assignment to love herself twice as much. You would think this would be fun and easy. Yet it was not easy even to remember to do, so she wrote on an index card “Love myself twice as much!” and placed it on her desk. You can do this too.

Several weeks later, she had an opportunity to practice the power of this self honoring. On a very stressful day, she glanced at the card and thought, “If ever I am going to put this into practice, this is the day!” She didn’t have a clue as to how, so she decided to simply pause from the stressful situation. She noticed that she needed to calm herself. As she did, she felt more peaceful. Next she gave herself comfort. As she acknowledged these wonderful qualities of calmness and comfort, she discovered that they were already within. They are also within you right now.

Another way to honor yourself is to silence your inner critic – the voice that nags and condemns and won’t let you win. Instead, offer forgiveness to yourself. The mere decision to release the critic allows a river of sweet love to enter in its place. This is wonderful self honoring.

And so, as we move upward together into a new year, let us gently bow to each other’s inner heart and vast worth and say “Namaste.” Welcome to the heart of Love!

Present terrorist challenges are forcing us to go higher spiritually and utilize Spirit’s mighty defense system. You have a powerfully active immune system of total defense against all claims of harmful bacteria imposed by evil doers. Now is the time to put up your shield against the raging belief of harmful biology.

Consider this. What is the biology of Spirit? Spirit’s biology is Spirit itself. The all presence of Spirit guarantees that your true substance is incapable of infection and harm. Spirit’s all-pervading presence assures that you are literally surrounded by Spirit and, indeed, made up of Spirit – even though physical senses do not agree.

Spirit’s life system is completely beneficial. It aims to bless you. There is nothing in Spirit’s all healing presence to harm or destroy. Spirit’s substance – your substance – is made of holiness, purity, peace, strength, and power. It is these spiritual qualities that give power to immune systems, protection to life and order, and act as a shield of defense against evil intentions. You have a defense against all claims of danger and harm.

Just as Spirit is not contaminated and never will be, so it is with you. Let this moment re-define your present possibilities. Let Truth operate within you to cause you to realize that you are catching all that is of Spirit, and there is nothing more to catch. Catch Spirit’s love, joy, understanding, harmony, calm, power, and assured immunization. In fact, let’s all catch a big case of this! This is our powerful medicine, weapon, and system of defense against present claims of vulnerability. As we hear the flood of daily news of the compounding complexities of sophisticated biological warfare under the heading of terrorism, we are capable of facing down and healing whatever appears to be horrifying.

Here is a thorough meditation you can use to shield yourself – and all beings in the world – from harm:

”I sit quietly and contemplate the information coming into my consciousness. I tune out all messages of fear. I tune in to the powerful messages from Spirit’s angels informing me of the power available and within me right now. I realize that I won’t hear a news report about this. I listen quietly and allow Spirit to gain my attention for these all-important announcements most affecting me and most needed by all humanity.

I picture images of Spirit operating right where I hear news that others are contaminated or vulnerable. I see Spirit affirming and proving Itself as invulnerable. I see this as the real picture, operating as a spiritual law of defense - cleansing and healing those who are reported ill.

I see the powerlessness of evil to act in Spirit’s atmosphere and domain. Each of us is under Spirit’s rule of guidance and protection. I acknowledge that Spirit is greater than all the problems on Earth - greater, in fact, than all the problems that have ever been or ever will be combined. I am the knower that Spirit’s supremacy is acting with authority to rule out of humanity the claim of evil – evil doers, evil doing, evil intentions, and the appearance of evil power to destroy and harm. I stand with Spirit, towering over this claim of another presence and another equal power, as Spirit ushers in its dominion and victory.

I surrender to the fact of Spirit’s power which is ruling, governing, protecting, defending, shielding, and honoring me, my body, my health, and the state of the world – including all life forms.

Together, all humanity stands united in and as Spirit’s presence on Earth. Present to heal, save, and deliver. Present to calm and comfort. Present to neutralize all beliefs of harm – everywhere and at all times.

I am the knower of health when I hear news of a body infected with what is believed to be a terrible substance. I know that our collective bodies have already been inoculated with Spirit’s law operating within. I pray without ceasing to arrest evil once and for all – for all generations!

I stand watch knowing that all workers – leaders, law enforcement agencies, rescue workers, soldiers, and civilians – enlisted to protect humanity against evil and terror are endowed with divine qualities of ability to know and apprehend all problems of evil at its source, quickly and efficiently. I celebrate the victory now of the ultimate triumph of Spirit over evil.

Thank you, Spirit, for revealing all that we need to know and understand in order to be safe and experience joy and peace. Thank you for providing avenues for our spiritual growth so necessary at this time. Thank you for keeping watch over humanity and offering all the healing solutions needed to succeed in dissolving evil.

Thank you, Spirit – in advance – for our world’s assured victory over evil as we stay anchored in your power, wisdom, and healing inspiration."

How loved, honored, & cherished do you feel by those closest to you?

Here’s a very revealing exercise: Think of the 10 people you spend the most time with in your life – whether family, friends, or co-workers. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being tops, how loved, honored, & cherished do you feel in the presence of each of these people?

Of course, you can also ask, “How loved, honored, & cherished do each of them feel in my presence?” but that is the focus of our next column.

It is remarkable how quickly this simple exercise shows us how well – or not well – we are being loved by those in our inner sphere of living. Can you see the enormously undermining impact of low ratings on your happiness in life?

Each of us, in our constant desire and struggle to move higher & higher in our living & awareness, needs love that is nurturing, accepting, adoring, empowering, sustaining, and dependable. This is not simply a nice thing to hope for. It is your spiritual right to be loved, honored, & cherished by those around you. Accept this as one of your love standards in life.

For each person you rated as loving, honoring, & cherishing you at a 9 or 10, rejoice that you are being loved so well. Tell them about this exercise. Thank them for their love.

For each person you rated 8 or below ask yourself - without blaming the person or yourself – “How can I help this relationship move towards a 10?” Thinking this way is loving yourself and opening your life to the awareness that it is your spiritual right to be loved, honored, & cherished.

“Yes, but what about the close family member who doesn’t love, honor, or cherish me? I can’t just ditch my family.” Of course not, but you can step outside of your time-anchored relationship with that person and set new standards and expectations. You can speak with an honesty infused with love that sees the higher vision of the love you deserve. You can tell them how your heart feels. In loving truthfulness, you will find others awakening with you and because of you. It’s not about blame. It’s about love expansion – for everyone. You are simply being called forth to be the love teacher – helping others, even a close family member, learn how to love you at a higher level.

“Yes, but what about the co-worker who doesn’t treat me well. I can’t just go ask that person to start loving me.” Well, actually, you can! You don’t have to use the word “love,” but you can engage that person heart to heart. You can find a private moment and tell that person that you would like to discuss how you both could advance your relationship so both feel better about each other. This calls for courage on your part. But the alternative is a continuing life of not being well loved.

“Yes, but what if I talk to the family member or co-worker and they don’t care?” Continue to love them from your highest selfhood, but be aware that you deserve to be surrounded by people who love, cherish, & honor you. Your higher consciousness of love – loving yourself without blaming others – will move those who don’t love you well to a further distance in your life and those who do love you to a close embrace. And bring new love givers into your life as well. This is the path that opens your life to the love you deserve – and the big secret is that you, by yourself, have the power to create this higher love around you. Welcome to the heart of Love!

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being tops, how well do you love yourself?

Despite years of education and life experience, most of us fail miserably in loving ourselves. Subtle patterns of assuming guilt, preoccupation with fear, and the many times daily we listen to the inner critic all prevent us from responding to the core of our need for love.

This great loss takes place within our private consciousness, hidden from the world – hidden even from the people who think they know us best. We are masters at hiding ourselves. Why do we not learn to offer this priceless love gift to ourselves on a daily basis?

When we live without loving ourselves, we sentence ourselves to an isolated prison cell of love deprivation. And, unfortunately, most of us are quite mean to ourselves. We refuse to grant ourselves pardon – or even parole – from our own imprisonment.

It is time for each of us to rise to the consciousness that knows and claims that loving ourselves is our spiritual right! The struggle to love yourself is vital to your well-being. It is time to give yourself the love you deserve – from yourself.

In fact, if you loved yourself twice as much right now, how would you do it? Your list might include lightening your load, giving yourself more comfort, releasing old patterns of thought or action holding you back, practicing more holistic health care, praying for yourself, or simply taking quiet time to meditate.

When we first answered this question, we were shocked that there were so many ways we were not loving ourselves. And when we looked at our list of how we could love ourselves twice as much, we realized that we would be more bold, more visible, and far more kind to ourselves.

Loving yourself is not selfish. It is a bold affirmation of the value of your life. It is important to remind yourself that you deserve such love – for better health, a more positive outlook on life, and the ability to contribute to the universe the rich resources within you waiting for Soul escape.

We should perhaps all be wearing buttons, reminding each other to love ourselves twice as much. Imagine going through life where everyone is practicing twice as much love! All that love would promote greater happiness and spill over to a more loving atmosphere for all humanity. This is a glimpse of Love’s divine plan.

The benefits of loving yourself twice as much are extraordinary. You will be more joyous, satisfied, liberated, empowered, ready to expand and unleash your vast potential, and able to give and receive love at a much higher level. Loving yourself is the path to freedom and joy.

Rather than allowing yourself to be defined by other people’s actions or current circumstances, use these as opportunities to love yourself at a higher level. You are not a victim of your circumstances. Your consciousness is carving out your experience. Stand in your spiritual power and love yourself in your true magnificence. This is the love power that caused Nelson Mandela to rise from captivity. Hold the light, even during dark times. The light of love is liberating and never fails.

Here are some ways to love yourself twice as much:

- Go to a private spot that feels like a sanctuary and allow yourself, in utter stillness, to feel the idea of truly loving yourself.

- Quietly ask divine Love how you could best love yourself more.

- Affirm to yourself: “I know that loving myself acknowledges my oneness with Love. I claim – for myself and all humanity – that we all deserve such inner love honoring.”

- Post your list of how you plan to love yourself twice as much. Notice how many items on your list do not depend on anyone but you!

- Share your list with a friend or loved one. This will encourage both of you to move higher.

- Practice loving yourself more each day. Remember, transformation begins with a single step. Wouldn’t you encourage your son, daughter, best friend, or lovemate to take this step?

Let yourself live in the embrace of loving yourself right now. Actually, this is one of the greatest ways you can also help the collective consciousness grow as well. Each of us can consciously remember to love ourselves better – hourly – by remembering who we truly are as children of the Light. This is healthy, healing love. It is the love you deserve and the love we all deserve. We can help each other remember that this love is always available to us. In fact, it is Love’s divine intention that we experience such love all the time.

Let’s go forward together right now. How can you love yourself twice as much today? We are rejoicing with you as you open your life to more love. Welcome to the heart of Love!

Throughout the evolution of rising life, we have been graced with Ascending Love Masters – individuals whose consciousness and lives have lifted us higher into spiritual wisdom, love, and living. Love is calling each of us to take our place as an Ascending Love Master.

Great spiritual leaders have assumed the presence of Ascending Love Masters. They focused on Love and rose to it repeatedly – even during times of great oppression, persecution, & personal hardship. In fact, they used their adversities to strengthen their Love stand and soar even higher. Many who were with them also rose higher from such powerful Love modeling.

Spiritual leaders such as Jesus, Krishna, Lao Tzu, & Gautama (and many more that your heart can name) embodied divine greatness. They so clearly accepted their true state of spirituality that to be in their presence was more than an uplifting, holy experience. Healing also took place – healing needed in collective consciousness. Their acknowledgement of Love’s power and their all-inclusive embrace of humanity uplifted thinking & left an immense imprint on civilization.

These spiritual luminaries understood that becoming an Ascending Love Master was their innate calling, not just for a few, but ultimately for us all. Their Presence as Love was also a call for others to remember who they were too as fellow Ascending Love Masters and awake to their work in the field of Love.

Who would make your top 10 list of Ascending Love Masters today – those who you feel are expressing extraordinary Love reaching out to all humanity? We think immediately of Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama, Oprah, & so many more. Shannon names her grandmother as an Ascending Love Master. Everyone who ever described this woman used words such as holy, joyous, loving. Her physical appearance has been absent for over a decade, yet her powerful mark lingers.

Living in San Diego, we have journeyed to the ocean to be with the whales. One way you know a whale has just left an area is by the large place in the water that is still and without ripples. It is called a whale print. Just as the spectacular whales, Ascending Love Masters leave behind their Love print.

We are all ascending in Love. Ascension identifies the path of a Love Master and brings forth the image of one who is rising. As expressions of divine Love, we are destined to rise and ascend with unrestricted freedom. Love soars. So do we. As Love’s presence, we soar in Love’s enlightenment, luminosity, and radiance through knowing, understanding, and assuming the Presence of Love – moment by moment.

Just as helium balloons rise higher, so do we when we are filled with Love. If, however, a helium balloon is tied down by an earth weight, it cannot rise. So too for us. Ask yourself right now, as an Ascending Love Master, "What do I need to release in order to rise?” Guilt, fear, shame, self pity, self condemnation. These are all earth weights. So is even the tiniest irritation, grudge, hurt, or anger. These are destined to be detached from your ascension. Imagine what would happen if you cut those ties right now?

Let us open our thought to all the infinite possibilities of ourselves as Ascending Love Masters. We won’t exceed our highest sense of who we think we are. We can rise only to our highest expectation. Love yourself enough to let that expectation be you as an Ascending Love Master! Take your place. It is time! And take everyone with you. When the tide comes in, all the boats rise together. No one gets left behind.

In our ascension, we can practice the principles of expectation: Expect that:

· You will be guided and lifted by Love as you stay focused on Love.

· You will grow (ascend) without limit as you stand grounded in your Highest Selfhood.

· You will operate at higher places in your daily affairs and be attracted to other Ascending Love Masters – and they will be attracted to you for mutual love, support, & community.

Each of us is being called to this ascension of character and life purpose. No one is excluded. Love is All-inclusive. Let us begin now by clearly seeing ourselves as Love beings. Let us understand Love’s law operating in our lives to the extent that it becomes the overriding power in any situation, calling forth the Highest Self in each of us. Let us expect healings as a result of our stand!

Ascending as a Love Master is not only a divine calling to live and act as Love’s Presence, but it is your divine, inherent right. Love is calling you. Humanity awaits your love. Welcome to the heart of Love!

What is your “Identity Signature?”

Just as you have a unique written signature, you also have a unique “Identity Signature” – a quick, illuminating “signature” of your Highest Selfhood.

Your Identity Signature is a place so profoundly deep in your being that it causes giant shifts to occur once you identify it. It is your divine self become visible. It is the core place of your power for healing and finding solutions to life challenges. It is the place where you can confidently call forth the lovemate you deserve, the community of Soulmates you belong with, & the opportunities to express your highest Self.

Here’s how we discovered ours. One Friday, sitting in a park, Shannon stood up, asking Scott to put down his book and watch her. She announced that she was going to boldly reveal what her inner self looked like.

She began to make large, forward arm motions showing herself as a giant and powerful waterfall, spilling over with unending waters of passion & healing. She explained that her waterfall was tumbling over all problems with massive healing force – helping innumerable people find healing and power over their problems. Acting out her Identity Signature, she saw with great clarity her unique and eternal worth to the universe.

“OK Scott,” said Shannon, “it’s time to see your Identity Signature.” Scott, a bit intimidated by being in the middle of a public park, held back. Shannon challenged him: “If we are reluctant to express ourselves boldly, we will never be self-actualized or move into our power.” Scott smiled, trapped by the logic, and stood up to act out his Identity Signature. He opened his arms in an expansive arc, explaining that he was embracing all humanity in love. Then he slowly lifted his arms, supporting those in his embrace, empowering them to rise in their Magnificence.

“This feels wonderful,” said Scott. “I feel my core identity with greater clarity and power.”

The two of us had – in a few moments – acted out our true identities with boldness. Shannon’s boldness came from asking herself the same question we ask workshop participants: “What would you do differently if you loved yourself twice as much?” The answer always came back, “I’d be twice as bold in expressing myself!”

On a scale between 1 and 10, to what extent are you boldly expressing your true Identity Signature? Most people at our workshops say 4-5. It’s no wonder why people hold back. No one wants to risk rejection, jealousy, failing, offending, or being judged.

But think of what’s at stake by not expressing ourselves at a 10. Our magnificence is invisible. This is a massive loss to ourselves – and the universe. We would never have heard Beethoven’s Fifth, seen Monet’s water lilies, or experienced Oprah’s transforming power if they had not been willing to express themselves at a 10.

Each of us has brilliance, value, worth, and magnificent beauty that is unequalled and unique. No one can be your Identity Signature but you. It takes courage and intuition to boldly step into your Identity Signature, but the rewards are immense – self-worth, fulfillment, and alignment with your highest Selfhood.

Imagine a world where every person was expressing herself at a 10. No more watered down versions and no more timid hiding out! Our genius would come forth for all to see and enjoy.

We invite you to discover your beautiful Identity Signature and act it out. Honor and relish what happens when you boldly radiate your Identity Signature at a 10. Let your Highest Self bring forth the wonders of a life of magnificent giving, rich creativity, and powerful works. Become visible!

The effect of your true Identity Signature on others is the greatest thing you’ll ever offer them. Spend quiet moments each day and privately radiate your Identity Signature to the entire universe. Let your Identity Signature – your true essence – reveal your love, call forth your deserved Soulmates, heal your challenges, and saturate your world with a loving embrace of each other person’s Identity Signature as well.

Honoring your Identity Signature says “I love you!” – to yourself and to others. Welcome to the heart of Love.

Although today is characterized by many as the Information Age, this may equally be characterized as a time of massive Soul Burst! The Universe is calling it forth within each one as an imperative.

If you have noticed yourself experiencing incredible spiritual changes along with a great and deep desire to express your Higher Self, then you are in Soul Burst. The Beloved within each of us is being called into openness. Such Soul revealing is inescapable and inevitable within each one of us – though not necessarily an easy or comfortable process.

If we were guaranteed that, when we burst with Soul, there would be something out there to support us, many would wholeheartedly agree to allow their individual burst with Soul. But generally, we burst with Soul because we can no longer stand the confinements that limit our individual expression. Soul bursts forth at the peak of our intolerance. Our bursting to higher ground is often not in logical or sequential steps. In fact, think of what the word “burst” implies – an entirely new reality almost instantaneously! Soul Burst is often surprising and creates a huge change – like the simultaneous birth of new galaxies!

Rather than being dismayed or resistant to your inevitable Soul Burst, accept and relax in your rising and allow your Higher Self to expand joyfully. There is no visible road map for Soul Burst, and it may feel like inner chaos, but there is a grand, divine design unfolding it. There may be no occupation dreamed up for your Soul Burst. That’s okay. You may be creating that place or occupation. For now, allow yourself to trust that something glorious is taking place and you are part of it. This is Eternity’s call for your individual divinity to come into full expression.

The deep, spiritual reality is that the Universe is created according to divine order, is already organized for Soul bursts, and, in fact, cannot operate without it! A whole system of divine support awaits you.

The greatest way you can participate in this universal Soul Burst is by realizing and cherishing spirituality within yourself and others in the spirit of our fundamental, divine oneness. Love yourself as you burst into Soul. And love those around you, recognizing the birth that is taking place in the inner heart of all humanity.

Imagine Soul speaking to you, saying: “You are irreplaceable in Soul. Your total uniqueness is required for Soul Reality. You are loved just as you are. Take your place in eternity as your Highest, divine, true Self. You are needed as much as you are honored and loved. Listen to your deep longing and intuition. Come forth in full Soul shining!”

Soul Burst takes each of us unmistakably to a higher place of Love. As you move in Soul Burst, you will discover new words to explain your greater Love awareness and actions. Your expanded sense of Love will acknowledge the awakening within all humanity of Love and Soul without borders, rules, or judgment. You will be moved by a new depth of compassion and caring as the very Presence of Love. You will look into the hearts of your children, parents, friends, co-workers, loved ones, and soon-to-be-released enemies and see Soul Burst. Welcome to the heart of Love!

Substance – not form.

Those three words have the power to lift you into the truth of who you truly are. In fact, to love yourself – and liberate your inherent magnificence – it is crucial to see your life in terms of substance, not form.

For example, who are Scott & Shannon Peck? Well, Shannon has been a flight attendant, TV talk-show host, mother, wife, writer, speaker, & spiritual healer. Scott has been a reporter, counselor, real estate broker, workshop leader, husband, father, author, and speaker. But do those labels reveal are substance? No. All those jobs, occupations, positions, titles, and activities were simply “forms” – ways that our lives have been expressed.

What have been the “forms” of your life?

If you are a mother, father, husband, wife, son, daughter, that is the form of your life, not your substance. If you are single, divorced, or married, that too is simply the present form of your life, not your substance. If you have a job, an occupation, a title, a position, a salary, and tasks, those too are the forms of your life, not your substance. Are you young, old, white, black, Hispanic, Asian? These only describe your form, not your substance.

We all must climb out of the clutter of form to get to our substance - the great inner gifts that each of us – without exception – has to share. The forms of our lives only hint at the substance of our magnificence. We must ask the real questions of substance: Why are we alive? What is our life purpose? What is our life message? These are the questions of substance – the questions that call all of us forth to our highest purpose. There is no higher way of loving yourself than to know your substance. In fact, take your love to the highest level right now and accept this truth about you: It is your spiritual right to know and liberate the substance of who you are.

We may not know you personally, but we are rejoicing that, as you read this column, your substance and unique life purpose will emerge with greater clarity. Think of the qualities you most cherish in your inner heart as the “true you.” This is your substance. Think of when you are living at your highest peak being. This is your substance. Think of when you are living, thinking, acting as the very Presence of Love? This is your true substance. This is also loving yourself in your substance.

Here is an affirmation to support your rise into your beautiful, needed, and cherished Substance:

From the depth of my spiritual identity, I rejoice to call forth my Substance. I acknowledge with the wisdom of Soul that my Substance can never be measured by the forms of my life. I listen with humility to what infinite Mind is even now revealing to me about my Substance – my Life Message. I stand in reverence, loving myself in my true Light, accepting the Truth that the Substance of my life, independent of form, is my true identity. I accept Love’s gentle, healing whisper to my consciousness: “Love yourself as I have created you to be.”

Welcome to the heart of Love.

We all get glimpses of pure truth and love, but it seems a struggle to stay tuned in. How can we stay in the Presence?

Let us first envision what is possible. Imagine if everyone who came into your presence walked away with a message of Love pouring forth from your consciousness. Imagine the effect on them – and you! You would be uniting with others at the highest place of love as Love’s own Presence. This is where we belong. This is home base.

Let us envision even more accurately what it feels like to be in the Presence of Love. We feel like the angels are sweeping us upward. We see the wonder, beauty, and preciousness of each of us deserving to be loved and honored. We experience healing and purification. We feel the burst of uplifting joy and the powerful light of sudden insight. We are lifted into the spontaneous song of holiness and our highest identity.

As we draw nearer to the Presence, its illumination has a soft, yet powerful ability to correct whatever is out of divine alignment. We, ourselves, have had countless life challenges where, at times, it felt as though the Presence of divine Love was absent, not enough, or remote from us. During those times, as we embraced the Presence, loved it, and practiced it as our very selves, our problems evaporated in a sea of Love’s lessons and blessings.

To come into the Presence there needs to be a willingness to align yourself with the fact that all good is possible every moment. There have been spiritual leaders throughout the ages whose mere Presence changed lives with such spiritual power that adversities were immediately transformed to victories. Practicing the Presence is available to each of us every moment.

In one of Shannon’s recent healing experiences, a stock broker called her when the stock market plummeted. The broker was in a panic, scrambling with the decision of whether or not to stay in the business. As this broker and Shannon stayed in the Presence of Love, spoke together as the Presence, and cherished what was unfolding, there was immediate peace and calm. A few days later the stock broker called to say how surprised and delighted she was to have two new big clients. This was the last thing she was expecting in such a declining market. Her alignment with the Presence brought forth natural abundance.

In another instance a woman called Shannon to gain freedom from agonizing pain. Months earlier she had been in an automobile accident and, more recently, a chiropractor told her that her condition was deteriorating. The woman and Shannon listened to divine messages together – sharing the beauty, light, and healing intelligence pouring forth from the Presence of Love as themselves. A couple days later the lady called to report that she had immediately felt so much better after they spoke that she went to a gym two days in a row to work out! She had been free of pain since their call.

The Presence has a tremendous power to override what appears to be any other presence. This is because there really is only one Presence, not two or more. Lack, loss, limitation, illness, fear, and pain disappear in this healing, holy Presence. Everything succumbs to the Presence of our Allness and Oneness of Love, since this truly is all that exists. The rest is illusion. The illusion disappears in the face of the true Presence.

Though it stands as a monumental wonder of what is actual and possible at any given moment, the Presence of Love need not be mysterious or unknowable. In fact, address your top problems right now with the consciousness of the Presence of Love. Experience stillness and quietness. Feel Love’s presence of comfort, calm, and peace. Stay in this mode as you listen to divine messages which offer you a higher realization. Now let this divine Love Presence, and not the problem, be identified as you. Let your entire self be united with and as the divine Presence of Love.

Do this often – many times a day – and it will develop your spirituality and cause you to experience more and more of your true divine identity as the Presence of Love. And let it be simple. For example, think of two words that best describe the Presence of Love in your heart right now. You can change the words as often as inspired. Perhaps compassion and light. Or joy and love. Or caring and empathy. Then let these two words be your active, living meditation as you walk into your day. Let these words keep you in the Presence – meeting every event or challenge with the power of the Presence. Others will feel uplifted and healed in your Presence – and you will come home to your highest self. Welcome to the heart of Love!

Each of us is being called forth to our highest place as a Love Light.

What is a Love Light? Think of those beautiful souls in your life who stand out because love radiates from their very being – listening to your heart, giving comfort and help, causing you to feel truly special. These people tend to put your needs above their own. They genuinely care. Their love shines. They are luminaries. They are Love’s own Light. They are Love Lights.

Love Lights know that they live to love and that they carry life’s grandest missions. Somehow they know this, even if at an unconscious level. They may be wearing a police uniform, a child’s face, or even appear to be an impoverished woman, but they are bonded in being the Presence of love. When a Love Light enters our space, hearts open to Love’s warmth and healing.

Each of us is in the process of becoming a Love Light. Love is drawing us to it’s center. There is no escape – fortunately! Some are already awake to their mission to shine. Take a moment and ask yourself, “What’s in my heart?” Get in touch with the deepest feelings. If it is primarily to love, then you’re an awakened Love Light.

If negativity is blocking you from experiencing the natural flow of Love within you, then let this be the moment to make the decision to override it, purify it, and move to your highest self. Now is the moment to occupy your true identity post in eternity as a Light of Love. This is the real you!

Love Lights are the most capable people of changing the universe for the better, yet Love Lights tend to be the ones least likely to pronounce themselves visibly. Unfortunately, this reluctance perpetuates the earth’s enslavement. Take a moment and hold the entire earth in your cupped hands. Look on the earth with your deepest compassion. Observe the suffering, the tears. The earth is crying for your light and love. Your love can change everything. Your light is meant to change everything. You are needed at your highest post of identity!

Consider what percent of the earth’s population is spiritually awake. You can see the imperative demand for Love lights to radiate, glow, shine, illumine. Each of us is charged with this great Love purpose. Each of us is qualified to carry out Love’s plan for the universe – to awaken all sleeping souls to come forth and shine.

Here is what is at stake. Either the Love lights will actively awaken the universe from its sleep, or those in the sleep will cause the Love Lights to shine dimly – or worse, for their lights go to sleep. It takes full Love wattage to awaken the world. Everything depends on you as a luminary staying awake, alert, and actively engaged in your shine. So what could stop you from your highest mission?

As in any ascension, in order to go higher, there is certain baggage that needs to be dropped:

1. Love lights may carry a false sense of ego thinking that loving themselves is selfish or egotistical. Love Lights may think that focusing on themselves and what is important – their life purpose and mission – makes them self- centered. In truth, Love Lights are the pure radiance of Love’s own nature.

2. Love Lights tend to drastically underestimate their value and spiritual power.

3. Love lights may listen to the harmful inner critic and spend much of their time in negative self judgments rather than in the illumination of their highest inspiration and truth.

4. Love lights may absorb or take the blame for the work that the sleepers are failing to do, thus becoming silent sufferers, refusing to expose problems in order to receive needed comfort, strength, and support for themselves – allowing the sleeper to dominate their light. This is not personal dominance but spiritual power. Light must dominate darkness!

5. Love Lights may think that saying something bad about a sleeper makes them disloyal. After all, doesn’t the sleeper count on their love and support? Love Lights need to understand that they are the sleeper’s highest hope and salvation and that the sleeper is unconsciously counting on the Love Lights to shine them awake.

Eternity is calling all Love Lights. You are the healers. You are closest to Love. You are earth’s change agents. Love’s global progress is in your hands. It is your joy to save the world! When will it be the right time for you to accept your Love leadership position?

Even as you read these words, you can feel the truth and power of Love’s calling. Get in touch with your inner heart. Your heart knows the highest way to achieve the inner map of your highest life purpose. Your heart yearns to respond to the world. Your heart doesn’t lie. Within your heart is the complete answer – a seed already containing the full bloom. Listen to your heart. Let your Love enlighten the universe. Now is the moment. Welcome to the heart of Love!

For the next few minutes, take the lid off your thought and think with us in the realm of infinite possibilities.

How do we get there? Well, imagine the complete fulfillment of your highest, most cherished desire – even if it seems that it would take a miracle for it to happen. Now examine your thought. What is your honest expectation that this desire will truly be realized? It is often hard to envision success because we see so many obstacles in our way and our relentless train of inner negative thinking virtually creates limited expectations.

That’s why we need to dramatically free our thought. For example, imagine actually achieving your highest desire! Can you imagine that big? By envisioning such infinite possibilities, we enter the place where such expansive thinking becomes “normal” – and that’s when miracles begin.

Here’s an example. Why is it that we were not in outer space 100 years ago? Because it seemed so far from possibility. Yet once we set our vision high enough – with the expectation of success – the miracle unfolded.

Are you ready to take your life to the equivalent of moving into space? The spirit of infinite possibilities is sending its invitation to each of us right now. Here’s the map that comes with the invitation: First, get on the mental path of the miracle by setting aside thoughts that say “impossible.” Then hold the mental space for the miracle to be received. Assume the evidence of success – in thought – before it actually appears in form. This is no different than a parent seeing the “miracle” in advance of their child learning to ride a bike – even though, to the child, it seems impossible.

The consciousness of expecting miracles involves spiritual awareness that infinite possibilities are the true reality of our expanding lives. Only thought that is out of alignment with spiritual Truth would limit Spirit’s possibilities.

We understand such miracles because that is how we came together as a couple. Each of us was divorced and feeling very unsuccessful in love. Thinking of marrying again and “succeeding” in love was as far away – in thought – as Pluto.

Our inner spiritual commitment, however, was already unfolding a miracle. Our standards were moving to a new high standard of what we knew deserved in love – even if it seemed “impossible.” We were stretching the limits of Love possibilities.

Shannon, a passionate spiritual healer, took months to consider the new standards required should she ever marry again. Thinking in the realm of highest possibilities, she recognized that she was a massively loving person and it would no longer ever be worth it to be with a life mate who could not love her just as well as she could love him. She worked with bold, spiritual affirmations to awaken her consciousness to the infinite Love possibilities she included, but had not yet experienced. For example, she affirmed that Love itself was already husbanding her and claiming her as Its very own. She placed strong pressure on her thinking to go past the point of settling for less – to go past all limitations. Though she did not know how her consciousness would produce such high-level love, she trusted the outcome to Spirit’s unlimited and infinite possibilities.

Meanwhile, in another city, Scott’s negative inner talk of “You, Scott, are obviously unlovable and will most likely be single for the rest of your life” was quietly shifting. In spiritual reverence and openness, he realized that it was his spiritual right to experience the love he deserved – all of it! Just like the turning point of deciding we were, as a nation, going to get to space and then soon finding ourselves there, Scott’s turning point in thinking took him to his highest selfhood.

And that is where we met – in our highest selfhood. Today, our lives together are immersed in love so infinite that it is spilling over to everyone in our path. Our love may seem like a miracle to others, but those who explore behind the “miracle” soon find themselves in the very center of an unfolding miracle in their lives. In fact, had we not taken our thinking to the realm of infinite possibilities, you would not be reading this column – because we would never have met!

You can do this too. Let your thought open. Feel the infinite possibilities calling you forward. Welcome them. Move with them. Say “Yes!” to miracles. Welcome to the heart of Love!

As Valentine’s Day sweeps again through our lives, many will receive cards with loving, tender messages. Some will look into each other’s eyes through the soft candlelight of affection.

Tragically, however, the vast majority of Earth’s individuals will receive no Valentine card – no evidence of special affection. Millions are struggling for love in their relationships. Many have given up hope of ever being truly loved.

So let us expand our Valentine tradition. Let us unite together, as a universal family of Love, and cherish each other from the heart of Love. Let us affirm to each & every individual on our planet:

Your very existence
is a blessing to the universe
and you are deeply loved and cherished

If you feel alone, know that Love itself is embracing you. You are deeply treasured and never alone. Infinite Love honors and claims you as It’s own. Your highest and most significant relationship is always with Love Itself. Your very being is Love radiating Itself – as you – to the entire universe and you are needed and cherished as a magnificent member of Love’s universal family. This is your Love home.

If you are living in physical or emotional abuse, let your heart accept this Valentine as a gift to you from Love. It is your spiritual right to live in an environment of unconditional kindness and honoring and the entire universe of Love stands with you. We are loving you right now – holding the sacred space for you to come forward in Love's protection, self-honoring, and freedom. This is Love’s true nature and no one is excluded from Love's embrace. We are with you – and we are loving you!

If you are struggling to be more loving, know that Love Itself – right now – is dissolving your anger, hurt, regret, guilt, and shame. Let it go. Come home to Love and your Highest Self. Even as you read these words, Love is filling you with the capacity and kindness to act as the very presence of Love. Open yourself to Love’s work within you. Let those close to you feel the safety and security of unconditional love. This is your true Love identity. We all need your love.

If you are well-loved, let your inner rejoicing be known and evident to those you love. Tell your loved ones – even write out – the top things you most love about them. Let them feel your love at a 10! Then let the grace of your overflowing Love spread out to the yearning hearts of all humanity. Let every individual in the entire universe feel the presence of Love in your all-inclusive, healing, and spiritual embrace. This is Love’s fullest expression as Oneness enveloping us all. We are one Valentine!

Yes, it’s good enough to be true!

Finding the Lovemate of your dreams is not only possible, it is your spiritual right. It is what Love wants for you.

Here are 10 keys for finding the love you deserve:

1. You find your true Lovemate in Love consciousness, not romance consciousness. Romance consciousness is full of yearning, hoping, superficial attraction, games, and waiting. Love consciousness flows with compassion, joy, and healing Love – to everyone. This is “the place” where lovers of Love find each other.

2. Love yourself - deeply! Imagine how much less love your Lovemate will receive if you are occupied in not loving yourself. Love, love, love your beautiful self. Your Lovemate from Love is already cherishing you and asking you for this. And you want this for your Lovemate.

3. Don’t hide your spiritual identity. Discover who you are. Let your magnificence out of hiding. Shine. Radiate. Be all of who you are. If you don’t, you may be invisible to the Lovemate of your dreams.

4. Let Love orchestrate. Let the brilliance of your love shine so brightly that your light creates the place, time, and circumstance that brings you and your Lovemate into synchronicity. Let go of outlining how it should work. Remember: “If you want to make God laugh, tell Her your plans.” Love’s plans for you are so much bigger!

5. Be the presence of Love as a LoveMaster everywhere you look, talk, walk, and think. Love humanity like you are going to love your Lovemate. Practice & refine your Love skills. Begin loving your future Lovemate now!

6. Develop a radiant, powerful, all-inclusive, healing Love practice. All humanity needs your love. Walk through life as the presence of Love, leaving a wake of goodwill, smiles, warmed hearts, and healing. This is the depth of love you want to give to and receive from your Lovemate.

7. Keep a Love journal. Write down all the ways you loved others today, and all the ways you were loved. Record your love goals for tomorrow. You will become powerfully conscious of living in Love reality rather than in love blindness.

8. Practice powerful Love affirmations that unite you with Love and attract all Love to you. For example: “At this very moment, Love is cherishing me and simultaneously cherishing my Lovemate. We are both being prepared to meet in the highest place of Love and nothing can prevent the inevitable destiny of our meeting and recognizing each other.”

9. Awaken to your spiritual identity and purpose. Once you align with Soul, magnificent love changes unfold. Feel the immense spiritual presence and support from both of you being on a spiritual path – already partners in spiritual growth. Awake to the larger purpose of your Love union to benefit all around you – even humanity.

10. Open your consciousness to Love surprise! Love arrives in our lives like a soft wind that appears out of nowhere – when we open our divine senses to feel the Love breeze. Welcome to the heart of Love!
