How can we keep the energy delicious and balanced? Lets take each circumstance at a time.
For the lovers out there, who are planning the day together, all you guys have to remember is to be adaptable,
really. Remember to keep each others interests and happy-quotient in mind when you make plans, and laugh it off
if things don’t quite go as planned. Be joyous and grateful for each other, and remember that every day is a
blessing, so if this one doesn’t work out exactly as you wanted, it’s ok. There are other beautiful days to be had;
keep that divine energy flowing between you regardless of which day the calendar says to love each other.
For those who are waiting to be surprised, we might want to approach this a little differently. Maybe you’ve been
disappointed in the past with your partner, or other partners, so you anticipate with more anxiety than joy. You are
expecting to be disappointed, so what do you think might be the outcome of sending out that energy? Hmmm…
possible disappointment. Think things like this instead. “Today is a different day/year! This partner is NOT my ex
-partner! I will be happy with whatever we do; I am grateful for EVERY day with my partner!” It may be difficult
to silence those demons that plague us from past experience, but it is well worth the effort if we can at least try to
be the master of our thoughts, rather than the other way around. Positive energy serves and feeds us; negative energy and self-talk brings us down and steals from us. Tell ego what to do with its
negativity and theft… I do it
often. Haha.
Which brings me to the third relationship circumstance I mentioned earlier. Singlehood. How do WE get
through this annual event? We can bemoan it, as I have been known to do when I find myself in this situation. A
most unhelpful and unhealthy way to handle it, I might add.
A happy, partnered friend tells you of their plans and asks what you’re doing.
You say something like “Nothing… I have no one. You’re so lucky.” You may
wish them a great day, but inside you are envious. Bad, bad energy. Don’t add
that to your buffet plate; it will give you heartburn, guaranteed. Instead, remember that we are one; their love is YOUR love. Be happy for their wonderful fortune in sharing the divine love with each other, as you are thankful for
divine love that is shared with you in so many ways, every day.
You could even do something tangible such as taking yourself out for dinner or a movie, or, if you find that awkward, get together with single friends
for a “celebrate us” night out. Friendship is love, connection with the divine is
love, pets are love; so many expressions of love, so little time!
If nothing else, spend the day observing love and ingesting the energy it emits.
Smile when you see lovers embracing, wish couples you know a beautiful day,
rejoice when love is expressed in all its many forms. And most important, treat
yourself with the love that the Universe surrounds you with every day. Speak to
yourself the way a friend would if you said “I’m alone. What a lousy day.” What
would your friend say? How would they encourage and support you? Say those
things to yourself. Try to find positive things to do to make the day special for
you. Share divine love with others, perhaps. You could volunteer at a shelter or
food bank; prepare a meal and invite friends over, couples and/or singles; go for a
Valentines Day hike with your dogs; treat yourself to something you don’t
normally have, like a decadent dessert or a spa treatment.
You are love… always. No matter the situation, you are love every day of your
life. Valentines Day is for ALL love, not just romantic partner love. Enjoy and
cherish the day, as I hope you do with every day. We are so blessed to be here in
this incarnation; celebrate this day, this week, this month, this year; every moment, in love
