In today’s meditation journey, Matt Kahn’s views on love focuses on what it is that we gain from doubling down on the giving of love.
“… He looked at me in a really surprised way, and I could tell he was thinking, “I didn’t mean it as a compliment!” Of course, I knew his words weren’t spoken with care and concern, but I chose to take it as a compliment and turn it into a gift that I offered in return. No matter the circumstance, love can withstand any type of judgement or ridicule and turn it into something more redeeming as a gift for every heart.” – Matt Kahn
This is not about taking the high road, not about being the bigger person but about realizing that how you choose to act IS who you are being. The energy with which you show up and respond to the world will vibrate within your cells long after the interaction – so what is the energy that you want to carry around with you?
“You’re learning to be nourished by the love that you give, not by the validation offered in response to your giving.” – Matt Kahn
“You give to yourself, by giving of yourself.” – Matt Kahn
“When we are clear on the exact gifts we are open to sharing with others, the conviction of our generosity breaks the spell of energetically taking on other people’s experiences.” – Matt Kahn
Every cell in your body listens to the words you speak to others, which gives weight to the philosophy that, “you can’t do anything to another, without also doing it to yourself.”
Words can cut or they can heal, and if you are able to understand what it is that your body needs to hear in order to heal, why not make that the language in which you speak to all the humans around you?
“Empowerment is realizing you are the one who needs to say the things you’ve waited your entire life to hear.” – Matt Kahn
In every interaction with another human, the way you respond will linger as the vibration in every cell of your body. What kind of energy do you want to carry around with you?
“In a world of endless questions, love really is the only answer.” – Matt Kahn
Ultimately we really only have one option if we want to be sustainably healthy humans, and that is to show up as love. Always.
A few questions to reflect upon:
- “What kind of energy do I want to carry around with me?”
- “How can I nourish myself through giving love?”
- “Am I speaking to myself and others with love and kindness?”
- “What gifts can I share with the world without expectation?”
- “Am I empowering myself by speaking my truth?”
- What words do my body need to hear to heal?
In a world filled with endless questions, love emerges as the ultimate answer. It is the guiding force that unites us, heals our wounds, and creates a more harmonious existence. As we navigate the complexities of life, let us choose to show up as love.
Have a beautiful Friday beautiful people.
