Making Love Through Life

We all know that incredible feeling of making love to someone who means the world to us. But have you ever wondered why we love it so much? Well, here's something to think about . . . it's a time that we're so euphoric, so loving that it's easy to stay in the present moment. Nothing in the world matters when we're making love.

So, what would it be like to take that "feeling" of making love and hold it throughout your entire day, your entire month, year, life? Sound crazy? There are those of you who are reading this who know exactly what I mean. What would it feel like to stay in the present moment and be in love with love - all the time?

One of the reasons we love making love so much is that when we're in that feeling we're not worried about tomorrow or concerned about the past. We're right here right now, focused and present on everything that's happening. There is nothing wrong. Nothing can go wrong. There are absolutely no worries when we're making love. None! We are in that sacred place, so precious and intimate that it seems only poets are able to find the words to express how we feel. And it's one of the reasons we love poetry so much. Here's one of my favorites by Percy Bysshe Shelly on love:

O, lift me from the grass
I die, I faint, I fail.
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast
Oh, press it close to thine again,
Where it will break at last.

Sex can be a double edge sword. It can be used for good and evil. And yet, we are closest to God when we're in that state of being. Think about this for a minute . . . our precious children came out of that state - the miracle of birth. So when you think about why our country, our world is so enamored by this subject, perhaps it's because of the very fact that this blissful state is so natural for us. In Deepak Chopra's book, How To Know God, he says "Our brains are hardwired to find God."

In our world, we can get caught up in the stress and the drama of life so easily. Life is just hard sometimes. Making love can be such a comfort. We are living with duality all the time, every day - good and evil, dark and light. We struggle with relationships and with decisions we need to make. One thing we are always drawn to is the subject of making love. It's written about in books. Television, movies and commercials are filled with images of sex. It's everywhere. Why are we so obsessed with it?

Many years ago I had the concept of making love through life. I knew that, for me, there was some kind of truth in that. I held this thought in my heart, and then about 2 months ago, I had the thought, "I am truly living Heaven on Earth." And I knew that my concept had made its way into my life full time. There is nothing that I do in my daily life that I don't love. If someone had told me years ago that this way of life was possible, I wouldn't have believed them.

Many years ago I heard Dr. Wayne Dyer speak. He made a bold statement and said, "I have no problems." The audience just looked at him. You could almost hear them saying silently to themselves, "Yeah, right!" And yet, as he talked I started to understand what he was saying. He wasn't saying that he never has challenges. He was saying that he doesn't see them as "problems." He sees them as opportunities to learn and to grow. How we frame things in our minds actually gives us a different "feeling."

So, ask yourself, "Have I really decided to feel good most of the time? Really?" or "Have I really decided to be in love with life?" I find as a Life Coach that many people are so used to feeling bad that it becomes second nature to them. But when you decide that you're going to live a very different life filled with passion and purpose, it's like a domino effect. Everything starts falling in place. The life that I live now seemed to me to be an unrealistic dream years ago. But I held onto the dream. Something inside me told me it was possible.

Here are more questions to ponder, "Why is our society so preoccupied with sex?" "What is this telling us that we yearn for?" "What is it about making love that draws us to it so much?" "Can I bring this feeling of staying present in other areas of my life?" And, "What would it feel like to embrace the concept of making love through life?" "Would it scare me?" "Is it possible?"

When I get out of bed every morning, I can't wait to see what happens in my day. I've created a world that is so loving, gentle, exciting, and adventurous, that I'm constantly amazed at the miracles that unfold daily. I recently discussed this with a friend and colleague. She understood and related to what I was saying. We realized that through teachers like Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson, and Angeles Arrien we have come to know the real meaning of what love is. In her tape series, The Second Half of Life, Angeles Arrien says, "Sex is a mystery you'll never understand." And I think to myself now, "God is a mystery I will never understand." Knowing, believing, and experiencing are more important than understanding. Understanding is overrated. Knowing and trusting what I know if everything.

Whether you agree with me or not - that it may be possible to make love through life, I hope I have, at least, given you something to think about. For those of you who are committed to a Spiritual path - you know that it is very possible that you can live Heaven on Earth. Keep learning! Keep asking questions! Keep opening your mind and heart to new ways of thinking! To help you along this path, please feel free to go to my book page to tap into materials that can help you develop this mindset. The link below is provided. Love is an incredible thing, and it has the power to transform lives forever. It is something to be cultivated and shared. William Shakespeare wrote:

This bud of love, by Summer's ripening breath,
May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.
Therefore, love moderately; long love doeth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
