Let's Talk About Love

Let's talk about LOVE. The most precious and powerful force in our world. This episode addresses what love is, what it does, where we can find it, and where we would be without it? 

Aligning ourselves with the healing frequencies of love, is the primary reason for this podcast. To elevate our relationship with love, is to heal ourselves and our planet. Love is a living energy that births the infinite. It's the innocence of nature transforming our visual universe. To provide us with an understanding of our divine place with all things. 

So let's talk about when Love is absent from the moral fabric of our lives. And what we're going through at this time in our human evolution. How we'll heal the wounds of human assault on the heart of all living beings. 

To shift into a new way of being, and escort in a New Earth. Because LOVE, cares for us like a mother cares for her child. And when we live in her presence... the whole world opens up to us.

Transcript

Hello, I’m your Host Riverann. And this is Heart Sense. A podcast for aligning, strengthening, and opening our hearts to a frequency of love that heals ourselves and our planet. Thank you for being here.

The music you’re listening to is from violinist and fiddler, Tyler Carson. One of my fav solo artists. You can find a link to his music in the Show Notes. And an online by going to fiddlerontherock.com which will also provide you with his performance schedule.

As some of you may know, my solo episodes are downloads I receive from my connection with the spiritual realm. I literally start writing and the words flow onto the page. It’s a gift I’ve had since childhood. 

However I sense that it’s something we all have, if we move into the sacred place within ourselves and listen deeply. Things like journaling, meditation, time in nature, and interacting with animals and young children assists us with this connection. It’s important to develop it within ourselves and trust it’s a direct communication from Source. For me it’s been an invaluable resource on my Soul’s journey.

This episode is especially dear to my heart. Like one I published on Oct. the 3rd of 2023 titled For the Love of Dog. If you haven’t heard that one you may find it speaks to your heart.

For this episode my guides took me on a visionary journey in my dream state. I awakened this morning with breathtaking images from around the world and places I’ve never physically seen. I’m holding them in my heart as I transcribe these messages. I remember not wanting to wake up because I was in the presence of incredible beauty, embracing a deep peace as I was wrapped in the gifts of our planet.

So let’s talk about love…the most precious and powerful force in our world. What it is, what it does, where we can find it, and where we would be without it? 

Let’s talk about when love is  absent from the moral fabric of our lives. And this time we’re going through in our human evolution. How will we heal the wounds of human assault on the heart of all living beings. So we can shift to a new way of living and escort in a New Earth. 

For me, Love is a romance with life, that connects us with our higher selves. It’s fueled when we recognize, acknowledge and appreciate the value of everything around us. When we see the mysteries of our interconnected world as beautiful gifts to explore. We begin the process of unveiling what we have allowed to separate us, fear no longer controls our lives.

So in this moment I want to say out loud, Thank you Love! For being the motivating force in life that triumphs over all illusion. Thank you for your light in the heart, that reveals what matters most. And thank you, for the tenderness we experience, in every moment we respond to ourselves and others with compassion.

For Love is a creative force that births the infinite. Her energy has the power to move us into an embrace with every facet of life. She holds us as we move through challenging heartbreaks, intolerance, and the toxic chaos created by fear in human consciousness. Calling for an awakening to recognize and receive, the unconditional love we so desperately desire. 

Love unveils the raw misconceptions of humanity’s hierarchy and rule over life on this planet. By realigning us with our spiritual vision, power, and  purpose, as we journey into wholeness. Make no mistake that the whispers we receive from the core of our being; are reminders we have nothing to fear, but fear itself. 

We find only love in the innocence of nature. Who transforms our view of the universe when we open hearts to receive her and understand of our divine place with all things.

Knowing and receiving this frequency of energy contradicts the illusions some call realities. When we discover compassion is our greatest strength, we find love. She’s our deepest desire, that swirls into an intoxicating high. As we dive into the depths of our own hearts. And somewhere in these revelations…we realize change, is up to us. 

When we choose to live in love’s presence, the whole world opens to us. We no longer depend on results to guide our choices. And painful memories and wounds of the past that we’ve have created separation for safety. Clear out of the body’s cellular frequency. You’ll know when this has happened, because you’re no longer feel like a victim of the past. 

This took me decades to do in my own life. But when I realized I wasn’t sharing stories about the trauma I’d lived through. There was this great sense of freedom. And I recognized that I could begin to write my own story. 

The catalyst for these kinds of changes is usually forgiveness. And as it unfolded…my heart cried with joy. It was like a boulder I had refused to move was lifted and I could love without conditions. I share this simply as a road marker. In case it helps you access the love, waiting to clear your heart.

Because what I know now is that Love cares for us like a mother cares for her child. Always knowing where we are, and when we need her. It’s like these watchful eyes from the womb of the soul, escort us through fear and despair to find our way home. This home is the living room of the heart. Where we find refuge, wisdom, courage, forgiveness, and guidance.

Lately I’ve become acutely aware how disharmony lodges itself in the body. It’s like a piece of embedded glass in your foot when you can’t let go of something painful. It’s fractures the mind and creates disappointment in our emotions with memories that linger sometime until death. But that’s a choice we make.

If we decide instead to love and forgive ourselves and others for an inappropriate act or behavior that triggers us. We transmute the feelings of anger, betrayal, and abandonment into a positive energy that gifts us with inner peace. This self nurturing becomes what I refer to as the Great Physician within. A presence that restores balance and harmony in the heart. 

For in truth we see the gentlest things in the world overcome the hardest. Have you ever noticed how a river changes it course in the land? Or how rushing water will smooth the rocks in a riverbed? This is also true with the power of love. Eventually it changes the landscape.

When we accept there is no separation. That we are all a part of every living being. We enter the sacred womb of love. That which has no substance, enters where there is no space, and births the reality of One.

When I let go of the powerlessness and anger I felt from the trauma in life. An unseen door began to open to me, eventually leading to an opportunity to forgive someone I had never dreamt would ask for my forgiveness. And it blew me away! 

In that moment, I was sitting on the lap of God, or Source and my heart felt a volume of love I had never experienced before. The freedom that came with that joy connected me to every cell in my body. It was a  wellspring love I would never forget. And its happened twice now. 

Every experience is like a spiritual elixir. It continues to affirm what I feel is the greatest purpose in life. To arrive at a place on the journey, where there are no barriers separating us from loving ourselves, one another, and all living beings unconditionally. 

It’s so important that we lift the frequency of humanity at this time in our evolution. There are no other paths out of the fear mongering we are facing today. The past must not determine our future. It’s a distraction from growth. Holding onto pain, wounding, anger, or the need to retaliate against anything will not us bring peace. It only destroys the integrity of the soul’s journey.

It’s time to stop masking the our spiritual intelligence with the human ego. The messages I’ve received; suggest the reason humanity was given free will was not to rule this planet. But to make choices in this great human experiment, that would rise above temptation to embrace gratitude. Which is the highest frequency of love—because it asks for nothing in return. 

What if this is true? Are we going to honor who we are and all we’ve been given? Do you ever ask yourself why you were so blessed as you witness the suffering of this world. I do. I walk on this earth everyday appreciating that “There but for grace, go I.” Is it possible that those suffering made an unconscious soul contract to give their lives for our awakening? I think they are. So I bless them all with love and gratitude for their sacrifice.

Where are we without Love? I’m convinced that there’s a misconception it exists in a capsule. That we share it only when it feels safe to do so. But I can tell you this. That once you’ve had an experience of the sacred self, like the embrace I felt from this divine connection. You feel a responsibility and commitment to expand your consciousness.  

Consciously embracing the path of love. Multiplies it in our lives. Healing, supporting, and opening the heart to wisdom deeper than knowledge. If you embrace this kind of energy, it will change your life. When we remove our protective armor and trust love’s guidance through difficult situations. It transforms our lives, relationships, and provides a constant connection to Source. 

If you see the creator of life as Love. Then strive to be love. You may find a gift, that taps into to the supreme power of your heart. Freeing you to depart from your wounded experience and write your own story. 

If we uplift ourselves, we can uplift our world and create one where love flourishes. For me this freedom aligns with a higher power, not the ego. And it’s a choice we make every day.

So this is my guidance, friends. Whenever love calls you to show up for yourself or another. Know it’s an invitation for a divine embrace, that furthers the growth of all humanity. 

I want to close with a couple excerpts from the Tao Te Ching. Also known as The Book of the Way, and How It Manifests Itself in the World. It’s a deeply resonant body of work for truth seekers from the teachings of

Lao-tzu, an older contemporary of Confucius. 

This particular translation of his manuscript is from author Stephen Mitchell. And I recommend for everyone seeking to understand the spiritual path and how it relates to our human evolution.

If you close your mind in judgements

and traffic with desires,

your heart will be troubled. 

If you keep your mind from judging 

and aren’t led by the senses, 

your heart will find peace.

Seeing into darkness is clarity.

Knowing how to yield is strength. 

Use your own light

and return to the source of light. 

This is called practicing eternity.

The great way is easy,

yet people prefer the side paths.

Be aware when things are out of balance. 

Stay centered within the Tao.
