When deep acceptance comes from your own heart, you’ll be OK forever.

It’s a trap that’s easy to fall into… trying to ‘find’ love. And what’s more, our flesh-and-blood bodies hold the memory that being ‘alone’ is dangerous, there was a time (a really looong time) when a human alone wouldn’t survive for very long. Our bodies remember that and it makes us desperate to find the object of love.

“If you wish to find Love, don’t look for the object of love but rather for the source of love. There you will find the Beloved.” – Mooji

We’ve all felt it: the yearning for deep connection, the ache of loneliness. It’s a primal urge, etched into our DNA. In our quest for companionship, we often find ourselves on a relentless pursuit of an external love object, believing that fulfillment lies solely in the arms of another. But what if the secret to lasting love resides not in finding someone to complete us, but in discovering the boundless love that already exists within?

Mooji’s advice is not to look for the object of love, but for the source, and in the next few quotes he shines a light on what that source might be:

“Day by day become more and more intimate with the inner stillness, joy and love which is the fragrance of your own pure heart. Keep quiet.” – Mooji

“Your heart is the light of this world. Don’t cover it with your mind.” – Mooji

“Trust your Heart. Value its intuition. Choose to let go of fear, and to open to the true and you will awaken to the freedom, clarity and joy of Being” – Mooji

1. love is the fragrance of your own pure heart.
2. your heart is the light of this world.
3. trust your heart, let go of fear, open to truth.

We struggle to find meaningful connection while our ‘being ok’ is dependent on another person to make us feel loved and accepted. But when deep acceptance comes from your own heart, you’ll ‘be ok’ forever, and what’s more, you’ll show up to relationships in an empowered way.

Imagine showing up to relationships not from a place of desperation or neediness, but from a foundation of self-love and acceptance. This is the power of inner work. Whether you are single or attached, it’s about you yourself becoming the kind of person that you’d want to be in a relationship with, and then radiating love and light from within.

Our Friday meditation follows this path, finding that the source of love comes through you, and then sharing that with the world.

Mantras for self-reflection:

• I am the source of love within me.
• I trust my heart’s wisdom.
• I release fear and open to the truth of my being.
• I cultivate inner peace and joy.
• I am worthy of love and belonging.

We don’t need anyone to complete us. Instead, we offer genuine connection, rooted in a deep understanding and acceptance of ourselves. This empowers us to create relationships that are mutually nourishing and fulfilling.

Let us cultivate the garden of our hearts, tending to the seeds of love, joy, and peace that reside within. As we blossom from within, we become a magnetic force, creating relationships that mirror our inner radiance. 

Have a beautiful Friday beautiful people!
