Love Notes From Freyja 10/16/15

Hail Freyja ❤

You are worthy. You flail, you wander, you worry. You look to me for approval, and I say: you are worthy. You weep and tear and sob, and I say: you are worthy. You wonder if you will ever be enough, and you can never not be. You are worthy. Worthy of love, worthy of jewels, worthy of warmth, of sex, of comfort, and sumptuous sensuality and sacred seidh. Worthy of all I give. Don’t forget it daughter. You are worthy. Open your heart to receive me, and never doubt that you are worthy of my gifts, worthy of me. -Freyja/Gefn

Allow.

‘There is a secret about human love that is commonly overlooked: receiving it is much more scary and threatening than giving it. How many times in your life have you been unable to let in someone’s love, or pushed it away? Much as we proclaim the wish to be truly loved, we are often afraid of that, and find it difficult to open to love or let it all the way in.’

John Welwood

He said:

‘Is it so difficult?

And so I will tell you again what you must do:

Open up to love.

Just love.

Let love consume you.

Let love engulf you in its joy.

You must trust in your love.

You must allow love to take hold of you.

You must allow yourself to feel.

You must forgive yourself and allow yourself

Love without condition,

Love without attachments,

Love without goals,

Love without agendas.

You must love for the sake of love.

Don’t you see?

You must allow yourself to be taken by joy.

Release yourself to love. Surrender yourself to joy.

You must not fear being open.

You must open up to love.’

(Not so) Subtle

This past week has been a rollercoaster of emotions.

And no, I don’t like it that way, and thus, I continue to work on developing more effective coping skills.

As well, I am reminded that it is not selfish to take care of myself when necessary.

But I will get there.

And when I am surfing the web, and I come across pieces like this

And I am reminded that I am loved, and that there is no shame in asking for help.

I am grateful.

On surrender.

“The joke is even the surrendering is not in your control. Why? Because so long as there is an individual who says ‘I surrender’ there is a surrenderer, an individual ego… What I’m saying is that even the surrendering is not in [your] hands.” – Ramesh Balsekar
