Love is not a radical shift of perspective or understanding for some; however, opening to love is. There is a giving away—a complete surrender of the heart. Opening the heart chakra to another means opening all that is and was, as the heart chakra is the center of our being—the home of the soul. This vulnerability is akin to opening our soul to another. Understandably, this can be frightening for both the seeker and the receiver.
Many of us find ourselves looping in patterns where we continually attract the same story. Take, for instance, someone desiring monogamy but repeatedly drawing in a cheater, or someone who continually finds themselves with an abusive partner. These patterns signify resistance to love. And when I say "resistance," I refer to both the seeker and the receiver.
Once the seeker experiences a significant shift toward love—whether naturally or through hard work—they often believe that this new openness will immediately change what they attract. They expect the external world to mirror their inner state. However, this is not necessarily the case. The centrifugal force of karma—those patterns we have reinforced over time—will continue to draw in the same challenges until that energy is fully spent. This is the space where the seeker must begin to love themselves with rigor and attentiveness, recognizing the small, often unconscious choices that reflect their own self-betrayal.
The seeker needs to make sure that their decisions are sourced from the desires within their soul and heart. This is the time to be aware, to let go of outdated, obligatory mindsets based on externally directed kindness, and release the inner, wounded people-pleaser stories. This storyteller convinces you to act in ways that create betrayal loops—betrayal of your soul, heart, and even others.
If you continue to attract abuse and let that energy and story in, you are betraying yourself and the abuser.
It’s good to turn the mind off for a while and listen. Embrace your heart’s story and allow your soul’s truth and direction to lead—even if that truth and direction moves you into the unknown. Especially if it moves into the unknown.
Surrender to what is authentically arriving in this moment. This doesn’t mean surrendering to what you’ve overlooked or ignored. It doesn’t mean surrendering to old loops. Willfully overlooking fragments of old patterns while surrendering to what arrives can reinforce old loops. Pay attention and let all that is not loving pass by. Don’t betray your newly open heart. Allow yourself to watch those karmically attractive bits to pass by and allow yourself to love all that with compassion, for all that passes will find its home sooner or later as it finds its authentic dream. You are not Cancelling anyone or anything. You are gifting what was arriving with a new opportunity to find truth and direction.
This is your dream. How are you dreaming it? What is the origin of these loops in your dream?
