Love is in the Air

“Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned.'
-Marianne Williamson
I don’t understand why cupid was chosen to represent Valentine’s Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.
- Jay Leno
Some of you might find this a little hard to believe, I do not support Valentine’s Day. There is something that happens to us, a madness of sorts. Those that are single become depressed, angry and vow to revenge their new sworn enemies…the couple. They are convinced that they are unlovable, will never be loved and are less worthy then those in relationships. Couples fall into one of two categories: The Fantastical Fantasy Seeker® and the Pressure Panicked Partner®. The Fantasy Seeker has built up the day or night into this epic romantic happening. One of two outcomes are to be expected; the great disappointment, as no one could live up to the fantasy or the “why can’t it always be that way” let down. The night goes off without a hitch. It goes beyond our wildest expectation, but then the next day…back to reality. It has been my observation over the years that the fantasy all of the sudden becomes the new expectation of our partner. “You did it then, why can’t you do it now” can be heard echoing throughout relationships everywhere. We have placed our partner in a position to expect something that is not sustainable. We now feel the relationship is not good enough. We have seen our fantasy, daily life is our fantasy and we are now unhappy. Oh, and my heart goes out to the Pressured Partner who will expend all their energy to have everything be perfect. When their efforts are not received as they had hoped, they often feel a sense of failure in disappointing their partner. They often times feel unloved and under appreciated. As my good friend Allen says (especially when he wants to get me to laugh)… “This has got disaster written all over it”
Love is EVERY moment of life. Single or a member of a partnership, Love is a state of BEING that exists in everything we do, EVERY moment we live. It is not a feeling that is reserved for a certain person on a certain day. If that is the way it is viewed, there is a greater issue here…we do not understand anything about Love. As far as romance is concerned, it is the gift of creative expression that we share with the Universe in celebration of the sacredness and intimacy of our lives. Those moments are between the Universe and us, if we invite someone else to that party great, but that party is still thrown no matter who is showing up, for that celebration is the recognition of life!
Most people do not really know how Valentine’s Day got started or what its history is. The start of the development of Valentine’s Day was the response of the Roman Christian Church around 325 A.D., to put a stop to a pagan holiday known as Lupercalia. Lupercalia was celebrated on February 15 in Ancient Rome to appease the God Lupercus, in order to protect live stock and crops especially from wolves. The “festival of sexual license” included young girls names picked from a bowl by boys who would then claim them for a year for sex, sacrifices of animals, and the flogging of women for insured fertility. The feast of St. Valentine named for one of several martyred saints of ancient Rome was first decreed in 496AD, but it did not become February 14th or associated with Love until , the 14th century when Geoffrey Chaucer is credited with inventing the legends, traditions, and the characteristics of Saint Valentine. In 1969 the Saint’s feast day was removed from the church calendar for being viewed as purely legendary in origin.
Cupid the poster child for Valentine’s Day, whose Latin name Cupere means desire, was the son of Venus (if Roman), or Aphrodite (if Greek). What most people do not know is mythology describes Cupid as being happy and cruel. He would shoot his arrows at unsuspecting men and women so that they would fall in Love, not for the sake of spreading Love, but to drive them crazy with passion, and make their lives miserable, so he could have a good laugh at the insanity he created.
I believe that we have elevated Valentine’s Day to the point where we have lost sight of its Heart. Everyday should be Valentine’s Day. We do not honor Love by giving it a day, but by giving it everyday!
Here is how we can make everyday Valentine’s Day, Romantic, Passionate and Filled with LOVE! Together or Alone Celebrate Love!
· See Love, Hear Love, Speak Love
There are endless examples of Love in our daily lives, moments of kindness that we have the opportunity to show or that are shown to us, moments of beauty, opportunities to express thanks, gratitude, and appreciation. Slow down for a moment and take life in. Take the time to really experience another person, or allow yourself to really be seen. Speak the kindness and the Love you feel. Tell people how you feel about them and why, what makes them special to you. When someone tells you how they feel, how special you are to them, take a breath, listen and take it in!
· Do Special Things Dinner, vacations, movies, museums, lectures, concerts, a night in a hotel, blowing bubbles, fishing…whatever is special to you, or you both. Treats that we give ourselves that put a little spin in our day, make our day a little more memorable, special, sets it apart from the rest and says I am invested in you and in life.
· Give Gifts
Anything that is given from our heart to ourselves or another is a gift. A note, chocolates, flowers or anything else can be given any time. I believe in giving gifts often, for no reason except that it feels good to give, and to receive.
·Create Romance Candle light, music, bubble baths, clothing and bed sheets made of certain materials, a picnic on the floor, the Moon, can be enjoyed alone or with someone. They are all ways of celebrating all that is sensual about life.
What happens on Valentine’s does not define you. It does not define Love. You are special, seen and Loved. Live it. Live in Love!®

Erika Morrell
Soul Intuitive
& Medium
|

Erika Morrell, Soul Mate Medium™ has her heritage to thank for her many gifts.
The Great Granddaughter of Carmella Colchie of Italy known for her ability to prevent and heal Malocchio ( known as the evil eye) and the Currie family known in the Highlands of Scotland as the possessors of the “Currie Coin”. When drinking the water that had been mixed with this coin it had the ability to heal all disease.
With the psychic ability to read minds, predict future events, have prophetic dreams, and speak to Angels; Erika was showing evidence of that deeply spiritual heritage at the ripe old age of three.
Dedicating most of her life to learning as many modalities and traditions of healing as she could, Erika started her very successful privet healing practice in her home town of New York City in 1991.
Working with everyone from students to celebrities to members of the Royal Family, she quickly became one of the most sought after healers in the industry. Erika was known for her eclectic blend of techniques, down to earth approaches and practical applications of complex spiritual principles.
Erika’s special talent was supporting people in finding love, and not just love, but their true Soul Mates. She started to observe an alarming trend; client after client was on the verge of missing their Soul Mate, not by means of a break-up, but by the lack of recognition that their Soul Mate was staring them RIGHT IN THE FACE and they failed to recognize them.
Erika supports people in transcending desire, fantasy and expectation to attain themselves and a true Soul Mate love. She has supported 38 people in finding wedded bliss and countless others in finding the relationship of their hearts, earning her the title Soul Mate Medium™ Enlightener of Love.™
