Ones capacity for love, and that’s giving it, receiving it and maintaining it, is something that one actively need to grow.
I can grow my capacity in three ways.
1) I can practice putting into practice the action and feelings of love that I already know.
Here I can choose to express love for myself and others more and more often. I can become determined to notice and pay attention to the love that is around me that I can sometimes take for granted.
2) I can learn new ways of loving and being loved. I can discover and explore more techniques and contemplate additional possibilities of love.
Here I might take a class on opening my heart . I might do a meditation group that helps me connect with and love and forgive myself. I might send someone flowers or dance around the house with the children. I could explore the connections between self nurture, discipline and love. I might risk more hugs. I could explore the tantra of love.
3) I can remove from my life the things that keep my capacity for love limited.
I make an effort to make peace where there has been a long standing feud. I might do a course to learn to say ‘no’ instead of ‘yes’ and then getting angry latter. I may take a good look at my childhood experiences with the help of a mentor. I could find away to address my fear of intimacy. I might attempt to broaden my horizons and to get out more socially. I might join a processing group that works with dealing with fear and healing old wounds.
Today I will meditate on my capacity for love.
I will lovingly decide to do at least one thing for myself to grow my capacity for love.
