Remembering that human beings are either being loving or asking to be loved, is a simple way of connecting over and over again with LOVE.
When a person is being hurtful that person is surely in personal pain, either conscious or unconscious. Compassion is ultimately a loving response to suffering.
That does not mean that we may not have many human feelings in a challenging relationship, including anger, sadness, distrust, rage.....These feelings are our own and hopefully, we can release them in a safe way both energetically and through talking to a trusted friend or counselor. However, to be truly free, a return to love and understanding is key. This does not mean a return to a relationship which continues
the hurt. Space, boundaries and a letting go of the painful dynamics are important to achieve.
Movement toward learning, growing, maturing, understanding and opening of our hearts in compassion allows us to come home to our peace, love and to our True Nature. We need all of our life’s experiences to help us open our hearts.
Being grateful for our challenges as well as our joys, understanding that Spirit lies in all that is.....beyond polarities.
With all love and respect,

Thank you for this, Supriya. I find I need it especially in my mothering, to look at the bad behavior as asking for love. It's hard, but it helps to be reminded.
