Lovesickness

February 14, 2014

I want to delve into something personal here. I’m a little leery to be so vulnerable, but here goes….

I’ve been searching for love all my life.

I’ve finally come to the realization that wanting and needing love, in fact, have been the impetus behind my entire career.

I’m not just talking about romantic love, but all kinds of love, especially being deeply loved and accepted for who I am – by my family, by my friends, by my beloved, and of course, by my self.

Now don’t get all sad on me. I’m good – I’ve got it. I do feel loved! But it wasn’t always this way.

For most of my life I felt unimportant, invisible and unloved. I felt that something must really be wrong with me. And as a consequence of years and years of all that, I got sick.

I now believe illness is a wake up call from our inner self that all is not well and that something has to shift! Being sick or depressed or whatever can temporarily (and very unsatisfactorily, I might add) fulfill a need that we have, but it will persist until the real issue is addressed.

This is what I call Lovesickness – how our physical and emotional health problems are tied to our deep human need for love, any kind of love, even for doing what you love.

Everyone’s core wounds around love – not enough love, smothering love, abusive or manipulative love, lost love, conditional love – are different, as are the ways these wounds can manifest in our bodies or lives. It becomes your own version of lovesickness, whether it’s physical or emotional or spiritual or all of these.

How this might look for you is chronic illness, strange illnesses, lack of energy, relationship problems, feeling stuck in your business, hormone imbalances, chemical sensitivities, or constant grief, anger or confusion. A lot of it goes back to what’s going on in your inner world.

However this is manifesting for you, I can help.

Not only do I physically help the body where it is now, but at the same time, I go deeper to find what is really at the root of this lovesickness, so that you can have and do and be as much as you want in this life. I truly want this for you!

On this “day of love” why not go deep and spend some time thinking about how your unmet needs around love may be contributing to your current situation. How can you give that part of yourself more love, more attention and more support. What needs to be expressed or acknowledged? How can you bring more love into your life?

I’d love to hear what you find. And thanks for being in my world!

May All Beings Know Love,

Colleen
