Law of Attraction -- To Give and Receive Love

A request I received and my reply:

"I need prayer to allow myself to be open to give and receive love freely, as I tend to shut down and avoid real loving relationships. I am usually unable to get past the physical (looks mostly) and see the inner beauty of people. I am scared because I don't want to feel hurt or pain, and also because I feel I don't truly love myself as I should."

Thanks for reaching out to help yourself, because when you help your self, you help everyone move towards balance and harmony in the Oneness of Life. Incidentally, what I call "Rule number One is: Take care of yourself!" This implies before taking care of others, that is so you are better able to take care of others.

With this in mind, here's a prayer for you:

Relaxing into this moment, this very moment, I breath in and I breathe out, feeling the natural rhythm that is life in process... Yes, there is a fundamental order here... Yes, I am fully engaged and a part of this fundamental order...

Spirit, God, Creative Intelligence, Creator of all there is permeates this moment, this precious moment and every moment from here to eternity...

And I consciously join myself with this Truth within myself right here and now and what I know in my self, I know with and for You in your self; in this moment we are one with the Creator of all there is... In recognizing this Truth, the wholeness of this moment, I also recognize the creative power of our thought, word and action in the world and carefully and consciously choose them right now to bring forward that which I most desire into manifestation and experience.

I allow myself to be open in giving and receiving love freely and enter the dance without judgment or expectation... I enjoy the dance of life and all the participants around me just as they are and just as I am... This is perfect and I accept the dance and us as beautiful, whole and complete in this moment...

I release my fear of hurt and pain into this creative medium, releasing it as an unnecessary burden and turn my attention to loving myself just as I am: A powerful manifestation of the one Spirit containing and expressing the wonderful qualities of Spirit: Life, Light, Joy, Love, Peace, Beauty and Power. I Love myself just as I am, I Love the world just as it is, I Love the evolving nature of life expressing and join the flow, moving forward on my path, embracing myself, loving myself, even as I accept the world around me as it is in Truth. I accept all my emotions as good, as a part of life, and as fertilizer for my growth and evolution. Yes Spirit, I accept your Light and reflect it back to you in those around me...

In this moment I am so grateful for the energy of Life that fills me. And I release these words into Life, into the Law of Manifestation, knowing they are bottom line true. Yes!

So it is and so I let it be.

Blessed Be

Affirmations for you to use to stay in tune with your/our/the One Spirit: I enjoy the dance of life... I Love myself just as I am... I am a powerful manifestation of the one Spirit... I accept us as beautiful, whole and complete in this moment...
