Life is tough especially when you are in a position you never dreamed or could ever imagine for yourself. When the heart hurts, life seems to take on a whole new rule. Nothing else seems matters but the heart. Heartbreak is something I don’t wish on anyone, yet I have felt it several times in my life. Today, I awake to this incredible email from my sister. I wanted to share it with you.
My Sister Patti Most hearts have been injured, and it is an unhealed heart that is vulnerable to the unhealthy attachments to people, euphoria, romance, or sex that we will refer to as “addictive love.” Think of the heart as having two sets of emotions. The lower emotions are connected to the hurts and injuries that lead to placing conditions on the love we offer to others. But our conditions are rarely fulfilled, and the result is that we end up feeling lonely, isolated, anxious, jealous, heartbroken, abandoned, betrayed, rageful, insecure, hateful, distant, or numb – once again. As we get to the source of these feelings and heal them, we begin to feel the higher emotions of the heart, those that lead to the deep unconditional over of self of which we are capable. When that happens, we are no longer dependent on our relationships to feel good. We want to reach out, share, embrace, give, nurture – all in the name of love.
