In a simple garden lays a maze made of rocks. The twists and turns provide a place of solitude; a journey of insight and enlightenment into questions of the one walking the path.
On a recent trip to Avila Beach on California’s central coast, I stopped at a retreat center to walk the rock lined maze called a labyrinth. As the sun streamed through the trees and the birds encouragingly chirped, I set my intentions. “What does it take to experience unconditional love?”
Unconditional love is a term that is thrown around, yet few have ever fully experienced it. We are all looking to heal inner wounds, and for someone to kiss away the pain with love.
Love often comes with expectations, attachments, and hidden agendas. Are we looking for something outside to fill the void within? That isn’t love. Are we looking for something we believe is missing? That isn’t love. How can we shift old patterns and begin to love ourselves?
When we create unrealistic expectations of how another person “should” treat us, we set ourselves up for disappointment. We are looking for something outside of ourselves, instead of finding it within.
Unconditional love can only be expressed when we have experienced it for ourselves. It begins by supporting ourselves. Inner thoughts, behavior, and emotions are aligned with building self-confidence and valuing ourselves, instead of defeating and depleting.
Also, unconditional love stems from forgiving ourselves and others. Finding true forgiveness opens the door to compassion and understanding. Once we are compassionate and understanding with ourselves, we are compassionate with others.
Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door to unconditional love. According to Lewis B. Smedes, “Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Forgiving creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.” Ultimately we release the pain and emotion behind an incident and see it through a new lens.
Once our perspective changes, everything changes!
Another key to experiencing unconditional love is acceptance. Accept who you are today. Of course we have the ability to change, but accept the person you are today instead of waiting until the perfect job, perfect mate, or whatever comes to make your life perfect. Once we achieve 100% acceptance of ourselves we finally find unconditional love. We are no longer searching for perfection, be perfection comes when we accept ourselves.
