Square All with Love-

This Phrase is attributed to Lester Levenson, the founder of The Sedona Method. Many years ago, Lester was given a few weeks to live.  He decided to use the time he had left to discover who he was and what life was really all about.  One of the core teachings came from his discovery that he was happier loving than feeling loved.  He had people who cared for him and relationships that were centered in a love for him…but he noticed he felt the best when he was loving someone else.  After a few weeks of deep practice turning everything in his life around to Love, he went on to live another 40 years and began to use the method he employed to help others.

Love (the word) has a myriad of definitions- the definition Lester came to and I have come to, is unconditional acceptance and giving-ness.  When you accept yourself and others you are Loving all- when you are giving of yourself, you are being loving.  I have tried it out many times, and each time I feel the Love when I am giving it, and often have trouble feeling it when it is given to me.

Each and every experience of life can be transformed to Love.  You could say that all circumstances are love in disguise…wet love (crying), pushy love (anger), anxious love (fear)…you get the drift.

Grieving can be a very selfish moment….not that you shouldn’t have it – but that its limits show up pretty fast.  As I am shifting to transforming this experience into a deeper understanding of love is exiting and miraculous.  Every encounter becomes an opportunity to play alchemist…how can I experience this too as Love?

For me, the shift begins with a question.  Artful questioning is a practice in itself. What do I do about this pain versus how can I see this in a new, fresh way and as an example of Love; are two very different questions. One will lead deeper into a more self-indulgent experience and circular argument of the mind.  The other takes me straight to my heart for the softness of a new answer.

When anyone is certified as a coach of some variety (Life Coach, Money coach etc)- great emphasis is placed on your ability to ask artful questions.  The question that will reveal insight and Aha is the transformative one…no matter what is happening you can ask some version of how do I utilize this moment to extend more Love?

If all that fails, (😊) turn to your pet or someone you know who has a pet…gaze into their eyes and know that Love is present.  Either direction you go, square everything with love.

It is a healing – I know for sure.

PS you can do this with anything, anywhere…watch the news and transform the message to one of love – it’s kind of fun.
