Romantic Love
|
|
|
by Erika Morrell |

I am nothing special of this I am sure. I am just a common man with common thoughts. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, that has always been enough.
-Nicholas Sparks
Most of us desire what I will refer to in this article as Romantic Love. Most people can’t really tell you why, “They just do”. This idea is really loaded. The truth is, Love is not enough for most people. If you were to really think about this, you might feel a little saddened by this idea, I know I am. People miss the possibility of the chance to experience Love all the time. For all those that aspire to find Love, very few do, in the authenticity of Love. Very few find it and even fewer know how to have a Love relationship. Most people are looking for an exact picture and have very concrete expectations of Love. The ideas of being together forever, fear of being betrayed, or getting someone to behave as you would like (or demand) them to do, things being romantic, etc. keep us caught up in fear and control, neither fear nor control are aspects of Love. There is a very strong argument that if either of those aspects of the human conditions exist, that Love cannot.
Love exists in Freedom, the Freedom for people to be authentically who they are; to be supported in that authenticity, and their truth and trip. There is ultimately a deep care and connection, respect, appreciation, trust and Love that exists between the two parties. Each party wants what is best for the other, and engaging in behavior that is disrespectful and/or hurtful is not an option or even entertained. Authentic Love demands a Love that is unconditional. That means that the Love given is not earned, it just is. The Love is expressed, given and shown, just because it is there. Neither person is controlled or manipulated into being someone they are not in order to serve the relationship. There is an equal exchange of energy, compromise, sacrifice, and commitment.
Part of Love is living in the fullness of the moment, enjoying the relationship while it exists, and being Lovingly willing to let go of it when and if it is over. If one partner is ready to move on, then on some level it is time they both do. This is one idea that most people that are looking for Love are unwilling to except. Yes, it hurts, but is part of the agreement of this level and depth of Love. This is where the idea of valuing Love, living in it to the fullest, enjoying it as much as it can be enjoyed comes into play.
The famous quote “It is better to have Love and lost, than to have never Loved at all”; is the truth. Love, when understood and honored, offers so much to both parties. Living in Love and freedom, with that kind of trust and understanding, where you do not have to scheme or plot or obsess or worry is one of the greatest gifts of life! It has nothing to do with the “right” person or the level of attraction you have, it has to do with your commitment to the experience of Love.
What does it mean to commit to Love? What does it take? Would it even be something you would be interested in if it meant you would need to give up your vision of what you believed Love to be? Let me start off by saying that until one Loves one’s self it is impossible to love someone else. If there is a lack of self Love, any relationship; sexual, dating, Love etc. is merely a distraction from self. Many people use relationships to try and fill a void in their own life. Some even say relationships, sex and the quest for them is often used like a drug, a distraction; to avoid feelings, situations, and voids in one’s own life. What most people do not understand is that those unresolved issues will be brought into the relationship, often times causing strain and in some cases the demise of the relationship. When you Love yourself, you know that whatever happens in the relationship, you will be fine. So what does it mean to commit to Love?
Committing To Love In A New Way:
•Keep Loving Yourself- Put Yourself First
I am not talking about in a narcissistic, or selfish way, I am talking about not giving up your life because you are in a relationship. If you are not creating your own balance and harmony and meeting your own needs, you are looking for the relationship to provide you with things that is not its’ job to provide you with. In that case, if the relationship ceases to exist and you have not tended to your life, you will temporarily be left with nothing. At that point, the relationship becomes a crutch. A relationship that is being used as a crutch can not thrive or be free. Nor will you be able to hold the space needed to have this kind of relationship. You will move into the energy of NEEDING the relationship. When you move into the energy of NEEDING the relationship you are no longer available to simply be free, to be the fullness of who you are and enjoy authentic Love!
• Be Authentic
An Authentic Relationship requires that you be the beautiful, glorious you! No fudging the truth, be compassionately honest about your feelings, request what you want, learn how to communicate with compassion and Love! Learn how to listen the same way!
•Allow Your Partner To Be Who They Truly Are
Do not try to change your partner. They have just as much right to their life, beliefs, dreams and desires as you do. If what they believe or how they move through the world does not ultimately work for you and compromises can not be met, instead of controlling or manipulating just to be with someone, set them free. Leave room for someone else to come in, not only for you, but for them as well.
Support your partner in their dreams and desires; help them to be the best version of themselves that they can be. If you say you Love them that means that you are agreeing to find the Love in who they truly are. You do not need to agree with everything, but you do need to agree to find the Love in everything.
•Live the Relationship Fully
Live in the moment! Be conscious and present and enjoy your time together! Do not miss your relationship and the Love it provides by living in the future. When you live in the future, not only are you missing the moment, but you are living in fear. If you are living in fear, part of you is starting to try to rectify that fear. It is that fear that is the catalyst for control, plotting and manipulation that is usually focused on making sure the other person is going to stay FOREVER. You have moved yourself out of Love in those moments, and out of experiencing the Love that is being offered to you.
•Be Willing to Set the Relationship Free
The relationship will be what it will be. In being willing to be present in the fact that it may not be forever, you are setting the relationship FREE! Love NEVER stops, it NEVER is lost! Love stories NEVER end! If you have allowed yourself to be authentic, to celebrate another’s authenticity, to be present in each moment and be free, the Love that will exist between the two of you will be an exceptional Love! That depth, experience, those moments will never be replaced! Nobody can take your place, or take those moments away! By respecting each person’s trip, their path, their destiny, you create a utopia for the relationship to exist in, each Soul knowing they will have what is theirs, and simultaneously having for a moment in time with each other.
‘All you need is Love’, to quote the Beatles. That is one of the simplest, truest and most profound statements that exists. It is true when you understand what Love really is, how to live in it, participate in it and BE it. JUST LOVE, the Universe will provide the rest. Surrender to this idea, and Freedom within one of the Greatest Loves is yours!

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.™
