How to Experience More Love In Your Life

Over the many years of doing readings, I have found that the number one inquiry people have is about love. This has given me the unique privilege to see love from spirit’s perspective. In the process I have found certain common themes related to love, as well as insights into how to experience more love in our lives. So, here are three spiritual laws that can increase your capacity to experience love.

Karma And Love

Karma is a principle found in nearly every spiritual tradition. It is expressed in many ways. You may have heard the phrase, “You reap what you sow,” for example, which can also be summed up as reciprocity. Simply put, whatever you give out comes back to you multiplied.

When discussing karma, it is important to understand that it is not punitive. Karma is not meant to be a punishment, but instead an education mechanism for the soul. Whatever we give out comes back multiplied. The multiplication aspect of karma is simply to teach us the behaviors that do work, and the behaviors that do not work in life.

It is also best, when discussing karma, to focus on the present moment rather than the long ago past. You cannot change the choices you made three lifetimes ago, and you also cannot change your behaviors ten years ago. But you can change your behaviors today, in this moment. This is where karma is a powerful tool.

The spiritual meaning of love is measured by what it can do. Love is meant to heal. Love is meant to renew. Love is meant to bring us closer to God ~ Marcus Aurelius

From a karmic perspective, if you want more love in your life, start giving love out to others. This does not mean you have to be romantically involved with everyone, but it does mean that if you want substantive romance it is best to start with the people that are already in your life. How you treat the people in your life matters and has a profound influence on the unfolding experience of love in your life.

Faith, Consciousness And Love

The Buddha said, “The mind is everything, what you think, you become.” Simply put, whatever you choose to believe about life becomes true for you. Faith and karma are intrinsically connected, because thoughts create actions, and actions create results. And what is a belief? It is a thought you continuously think about something in your life.

It is not possible for someone to create a meaningful relationship if that person does not believe that a meaningful relationship is available. Some people have thoughts like, “All the good partners are taken,” or “I only attract the bad ones.”  These thoughts do not support the goal of creating a loving and meaningful relationship. So, it is important to pay attention to your thoughts and beliefs related to romance.

Source And Love

No one can create love in your life. The true source of love is inside of you. Too many people are looking for a relationship that will bring love into their lives, however, this is not how love works. The experience of love is always intrinsic, which means that if a person is not already to some degree ‘love focused’ it is nearly impossible to find love.

The whole idea of ‘finding love’ suggests that something is missing. However, each person carries the capacity of love within them. This refers back to the karmic influence on love.  You can only embody love… it is never missing.

Spiritual love, derived from love intelligence, is non-conditional, non-personal benevolence. It is the love of being loving, with no strings attached, just for the sake of being what God wants us to be ~ Thomas Hora

Therefore, many spiritual teachers focus on the principles of forgiveness, self-love, and kindness toward others. These are ways of accessing the source of love, which is the intrinsic presence of love. Relational status has absolutely nothing to do with receiving love from the actual source, and that source of love is within.

Some spiritual teachings call this the Higher Self, Holy Spirit, or Soul. Whatever the label, it is important to understand that love itself cannot be divided. There is only one love. Love can have different expressions and different boundaries, but the basis for experiencing love is always the same.

In each of these spiritual laws there is one common theme. If you feel like something is missing in your situation, maybe it is you. We learn from spiritual teachings that love is an infinite and renewable resource that is always available.

It is my conviction that if you want to experience love in your life, begin with an assessment of your interactions with others.  Start giving out what you say you want to have and see how quickly the Universe responds.
