Hello and welcome back to Unleash Your Peace.
My name is Ellie Shoja.
I am your host.
I'm a positive mindset coach,
A personal transformation expert.
I'm a deliberate creator and I am your peace trainer.
And this podcast over here,
Unleash Your Peace,
Is your peace training.
It is where we dive into a different topic about the internal world every single week over the course of five episodes.
I then release these episodes Monday through Friday.
They're really short.
They're 10 minutes each that you can listen to first thing in the morning.
Now,
The reason we do this is to start shedding all of this excess weight of this unwanted pain that you are carrying.
When we look inward,
That's exactly what happens.
And underneath all of that excess weight,
What we find is lasting internal peace and we're finally able to live our best lives yet.
When we live from this place of joy and peace and connectedness to that non-physical,
Infinite part of ourselves,
That inner being that is the greater grander part of us,
We don't just incrementally improve the quality of our lives.
We actually exponentially innovate every aspect of our experiences on this physical plane.
We level up in a major way.
We become whole.
We become powerful creators and we start living the lives of our dreams and we start being uplifters and inspirers of others in our lives so people around us feel uplifted and inspired by us.
And that's exactly my wish for you.
Now,
This week we are talking about love.
What is love?
What is your true essence?
We have already talked about how love is the greater part of you.
It is what your inner being is made of.
It's what that infinite consciousness that observed you into existence is made of.
And the reason love feels so good is because when we are in a state of love,
When we are vibrating at a frequency of love,
Which is by the way,
The highest vibration emotion we can experience in these physical bodies.
But when we are vibrating at that high frequency,
We are actually aligned with our inner being.
That's when life almost becomes magical.
Things just kind of start happening for us almost by magic.
If we are artists,
The art starts making itself.
The books start writing themselves.
The music starts writing or playing itself.
If we are scientists,
We come up with discoveries.
We have really great ideas in that state of love.
When we talked about gratitude a few weeks ago,
We talked about how gratitude is a doorway into a connection with our inner being because gratitude brings us into the vicinity of love.
And when we actually experience love in this visceral and experiential way,
When we fall in love with somebody,
When we experience childbirth,
When we hold our child for the first time or nieces and nephews.
I remember when I saw my niece for the first time in the hospital,
I experienced such intense love for her.
I felt like,
Oh my goodness,
I will jump in front of a moving truck for this child.
I was overwhelmed by the intensity of the love that I experienced.
And when we do this,
When we experience this love,
We literally expand.
We expand as human beings because we become more being than human.
We become more vibration than matter.
We become the greater part of ourselves and nothing is impossible in that state.
Everything is possible.
There is no wrongdoing.
All forgiveness happens through love because of this.
We talked about it during our forgiveness week.
If you missed it,
You're welcome to go back and listen to those.
Those episodes were incredibly powerful,
But the way we forgive,
For example,
Is through love.
This love is so powerful that it can heal literally anything emotional.
It can heal the body.
Also when we are pinched away from it,
It can destroy us.
It can destroy us mentally and it can destroy us physically.
The lack of love is such a painful experience for us that I believe when we are separated from our source,
When we are in a place of separation from love,
That is the cause of any time we want to harm ourselves or we want to harm somebody else,
This is an indication of a separation from our true nature of love.
All acts essentially are an expression of love or a cry for love.
So nobody hurts anybody else unless they feel pinched off from the source of love that they are.
So today I want to talk about unconditional love.
What is unconditional love?
We hear about unconditional love and we think of it in terms of the love that a parent,
For example,
Has for a child.
I just described how I felt the first time I saw my niece.
I could have jumped in front of a moving bus for her and I still feel that way towards her.
I have this intense love for her.
Does love have to be intense like that?
To be unconditional,
Is it possible for us to experience unconditional love for all other beings,
People who are not related to us,
People who are maybe complete strangers?
And then can we practice unconditional love for people that we don't even like?
Political figures,
For example,
People who get under our skin,
Can we experience love towards them and can that love be unconditional?
If you come into a room and see your two-year-old who just broke your favorite antique vase that was priceless,
What are you going to do?
Are you going to berate that child?
Are you going to be furious with that child?
Are you going to yell and scream at that child and ask him why he did this?
No,
You're going to understand.
You're going to see the innocence and the act.
You're going to look at that child through the eyes of unconditional love because you're going to realize that that child,
First of all,
Did not know the value of that vase.
And really,
What is the value of that vase?
Is it worth traumatizing this other human being with your wrath?
And you also know that this act,
This breaking of the vase was not a malicious act because innately we understand that children are not capable of malicious acts.
We understand that they are love personified.
We love children unconditionally because they love us unconditionally.
They are giving to us that unconditional love,
What love is at its core.
So when we are looking at children,
They invoke in us that unconditional love that is us.
Now this brings a really important point,
A really important question.
Can we look at other grownups and see the child inside of them,
See the innocence inside of them,
See the being,
The perfect being that is love personified,
That is love individualized in this physical form who has forgotten maybe who he actually is?
Can we look at this other human being and have compassion realizing that we ourselves often forget what we are?
We often forget that our source is love.
We often forget that we are unconditional love personified.
So why do we have any other expectations of anyone else?
So when we start looking at everybody else and seeing the innocence in them,
We start dipping our toes into this pool of unconditional love that we actually are.
Now this brings me to another really big point.
You might be asking me this question as it comes up through the live Q&As that I do on Instagram.
How can I love someone unconditionally whose behavior is so painful?
And to that I have one response.
Unconditional love does not mean unconditional permission.
If somebody is so far removed from their source of love,
They are in so much pain that they have to inflict pain upon you and they are not introspective enough to kind of see the innocence in themselves,
See the hurt that is hurting others and they're not able to tap into that and atone for it and forgive you and forgive themselves.
If they're not able to do this,
Their behavior continues to be hurtful,
You do have to remove yourself from that situation.
But you don't have to remove yourself from that situation with anger and frustration and resentment.
You can do it from a place of love.
And this is when separations,
Decouplings become holistic.
They become constructive rather than destructive for everyone.
This is how you can separate yourself without inflicting pain of your own and collecting the guilt of that.
You can separate yourself feeling still open,
Keeping your heart open,
Experiencing unconditional love,
Seeing the innocence in that person,
Seeing the pain behind this person's actions which by the way helps you not take those actions personally and it helps you remain grounded within your power.
So you can absolutely remove yourself from a hurtful and abusive relationship or a situation without unlovingness,
Without unforgiveness,
Without closing your heart and that is the key.
We keep our hearts open,
We keep this unconditional love flowing through us,
Not for other people but for our own benefit because ultimately when we are connected to our source of love,
We thrive in our own lives.
