Letting Love In

When we stop the flow of love, who is that person in us doing so? If we are all part of one "source", why would we resist that process and the unfolding of unconditional love in all that we do? This short talk shares some insights I have been given recently and welcomes discussion on thoughts on how we can move ourselves out of the way, past old pains and hurts, to be the agents of change in the world we want to be.

Reviews

When I thought about the reason for not letting Love in, I sometimes just need that 'space' that feels safer. However, ultimately I may use that more often than is good for me.
Great question & insights, thank you Oliver

Thank you. Never had thought about that in that way!

I done alot of introspection because of this talk.

Interesting. Brought up many questions for me. May I request from you a talk on “true self?” Thank you

This was really interesting thanks
I think I am a lot happier when I’m loving - when I get sad I kind of shut my heart and stop looking outwards as much. I think the open hearted ness is the medicine even though it’s also very vulnerable - feels risky -

Resonates with me. Thank you

Dear Oliver, thank you for this introspective question: who is it within me that is limiting love? This question peels several layers of onion skin to the core where feelings of worthiness, deserving and untended hurts lie dormant. I am grateful that this question allows one to beam a bright light in this murky cavern. I am grateful for the headlamp for this exploration, Oliver, thank you. Sending good wishes with love. 🌻

Wow! You've just hit the nail right on the head for me! WHAT is it, WHO is it within me that is limiting love ? Thank you so so so much,
Deb from Tasmania 🙆‍♀️🌏

Interesting. Food for thought. I will listen it again. Thank you

Very. Helpful as usual🥰

So true! Amazing!

I loved this. So thoughtfully done and provided me with a unique outlook which was just what I needed in this moment. Thank you.

Thank u for sharing! 🙏🏽 Namaste

Insightful and thought provoking meditation
Much appreciated
Thank you

So inspiring really hit home with me, thanks so much ❣️

Thank you for this talk. It encourages me to follow my heart and pursue my dream. Love and light!

Very powerful question - Who am I ? It really makes you think and look for answers within your own mind.Thank you for that talk which inspires a search for your true self . 🙏❤️

Thanks

Goodness…I’d never thought about it like that before. I do limit the love that I want to put out there because I realize I am fearful. I do want to explore that a bit further to understand why I’m accepting that belief. How many other people are holding their love inside out of fear? What could this world look like if we sent more love to one another? Thank you for sharing your insight. 🙏

Thank you so much!

This is heartfelt and thoughtful. A beautiful reminder to ask the right questions, and in doing so become more in line with Source and our own loving natures.

Have been feeling this way for a while now. To hear someone else express the same thoughts is such a relief. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

So clear and incisive, such an earnest and endearing tone. The question struck exactly at how I felt blocked.

This is so beautiful. Thank you for this incredible insight. We tend to forget our connection with each other and it is good to be reminded that we are all made from the same pure light and love ♥️

Thank you Oliver. That was very insightful.

Just what I needed Olly. Thank you!

Thank you, beautiful words

Oh wow. I cried.

Your words stimulate so many thoughts and growth and realisations.
Thank you for your time and sharing your thoughts

I’m still fairly new at opening myself to all of the love that is within me, and being able to share it with the world. Listening to this meditation made me cry with hope and joy. Thank you!

Thank you for the thought provoking question...one that I will come to when fear knocks or tries to creep in. It is very true to ask ourselves who we are along life’s journey of love for self and others. Thank you! 🙏🏽

I listened to your Anxiety Meditation this morning and then this short talk and I want to say thank you for contributing to change in my life and the lives of others. May you be blessed abundantly. 🙏🏻

Well that was really beautiful. Thank you, Oliver. This has been quite a focus of mine lately as well. I appreciate you.🙏🏻

Thank you 😊

Wow! Thank you for being so incredibly open! This is a thought provoking talk and one which challenges deeper self reflection. 🙏🏾

Very nice. Thank you for sharing. I recently have come back to meditation. Life got busy and I felt like I didn’t have time for it, but I was getting more anxious. Why? Because meditation is an act of self love, of being connected to oneself, noticing thoughts and feelings. I had this feeling like I needed to come back to myself. Love can’t flow without self love. Anxiety happens when I push myself to be something I’m not, to avoid shame that was used to control me as a child. There is a power within us, as you say. It’s like one has to separate from others to see it and then can come back whole to reengage. You are helping people remember who they are, like a spark that can start a fire. Thank you for the inspiration to try to find my power, myself. Vulnerability is so beautiful. Why? Because it’s sharing who we are. It’s like sharing love. Namaste.

This was truly touching, thank you so much 🙏

Possibly the best thing I’ve ever heard on Insight Timer. Very profound insights. I’ll be thinking about this for a while...

Wish I could give this more than 5 stars.

Food for thought. Great morning questions. Grounding.

So...Step out of the way and Love ourselves more! Thank you!

Thanks Ollie for opening your heart and sharing your insights. Your gentle, loving voice resonates deeply. A gentle, loving voice

A necessary question to ask ourselves. Loved it.

Absolutely loved this... thank you

One of the most profound insights I’ve heard on the inner struggle of letting love rule. Love is always the answer, thank you for identifying it so eloquently. You are a great communicator, a gift. Peace my friend.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Always very inspirational! And your voice is so nice to listen to. Keep on going this road.

This came at a good time for me as I am questioning this very concept/am I limiting love and why. Thank you! 💕

Whoa! What a simple, but profound line of questioning! If I believe my true self is Love then who am I identifying with when I choose to be outside of Love? I will certainly have to sit with this. My soul is stirred. Thank you.

Adore your work more than words can say!

I love the question at the end. So important. I thought of a particularly difficult moment in my life as you asked that question. I must heal that. Thank you 🙏🏼

Wonderful, transformative

Brilliant and beautiful!

Awesome question... Not a way I have looked at it before buf very true :) ♥️

Are you the voice on Headspace?! So soothing and nurturing. Thank you for your practice and teachings. Namaste

Thank you Oliver for the ultimate insight of your admirable and unique sharing of your beautiful mission in your life, in my life.

What a gift. An inspiration to go forth into our beautiful and limitless selflessness toward ourselves as well as other

Merci.

Thank you for sharing your provoking thoughts and experiences

Thank you for sharing and thank you for opening up space for me to ask those questions.

The feeling of “imprisonment” really resonated with me and I’m becoming more aware of how my guards are protecting me from the one thing I truly seek: love. Thank you, Oliver!

That was perfect for me as I step out of my comfort zone! You are a blessing!❤

You are a gift to all. Your sharing....from the heart, helps me to open up a little bit more.
Thank you for sharing with us.

Really great questions, and very relevant for where I'm at now. Thank you 🙏🌻💖

Introspective questions: Who is it, in me, that is limiting love right now 🧚🏽‍♀️

Thanks for make me reflect on how want to reSume VEP & commit to once per week With another student preferably in borough, closer to home. Even more thought provoking second time. Namaste Oliver. I like your voice. Just listened third time. You’re right on Oliver. Giving love gets love in return. Logical, positive, healing???! YES! I’ll try resume VEP In spite of change in health

Thank u

L

Great food for thought. Thank you for sharing.

Who am I to limit love? Wow.

Great food for thought.... my heart, head and soul yearns for that evasive love.

Great talk. Helped my perspective first thing in the morning. I'll probably listen to this again.

this was great. thank you and have a great day

Beautiful talk, you have such a calming loving voice that every word goes within and I can’t stop thinking about it 🙏🏻❤️xx

What an enlightenment!!. Loved it!

Loved this! Thank you

Confronting question and very worthy! Thanks, I will think about it. Namasté

I. Am. Love.

Thank you, Oliver! Great questions to ponder 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Really enjoyed thinking through his question.

Insightful and thought provoking

Very nice!

Wonderfully thought provoking. Thank you 🙏🏾

Really needed this, and will come back often!

That was incredible! I’ve been struggling with blocking love in both directions.. this is great food for thought, thank you

Exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been following your meditations for some time now and I’ve found them to be quite helpful. Thank you for this gem, Oliver. It’s definitely food for thought.

Thank you, I have been trying to work with noticing the thoughts, moods and states of mind that I grew up thinking were Me, this has given me a slightly different ‘point of view’ (literally). Will try that today when I feel stretched or overwhelmed.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts any thoughts that question how we can improve ourselves and our being are always welcome, getting us off the merry go round we sometimes find ourselves on.

Lovely.

Stellar. And Also clean and relatable and well spoken. Received by this gratefull heart. Thank you

How interesting. Yes , you have given me much food for thought. I need to listen to these thoughts of yours several more times. I am wondering who is the lazy me, the best me, the thoughtful me, the hurt me; who is the the me that just retaliates / responds from some mindless position of not-enough-love, belief in only limited amounts of love, when I absolutely know better.
Mmmm, you have really got me thinking AND, how do I stay more and more with the positive me, the gentle me etc. Of course that is one of the reasons why I meditate, to put it simply i feel a calmer, nicer, less judgemental person. When I meditate I feel abundant love and I find it easy to share the love.
Even now my mind is teeming with concepts and ideas around this whole area. What a great teacher you are to set this thought provoking, and I suspect , life changing home work. THANK YOU.

This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you Oliver. Blessings to you.

Very nice thank you Oliver

Great thought provoking statements!

I loved this invitation to ponder together- wonderful!

I enjoyed this talk. Thank you🕉🙏❤️

Thank you so much! I love the question and I’m going to take that into my meditation. This really turned my day around!

I enjoyed this short talk, thank you 🙏😊. It’s not always an easy step to take letting love in, it does take time and being gentle with yourself in the process is a must.

So glad for this powerful reflection! Thank you for sharing ❤

This is lovely, thank you!

Oh Oliver, thank you. Words I needed to hear today, to be reminded of today. Thank you, my friend. I hope all is well with you 💕

Lovely! Namaste 🙏

An excellent question to ask ourselves and a gentle reminder of why we do this.
