Aham Prema – I am Love

In preparation for YogaFest 2019 that is happening this weekend and on which I’ve been working with my partner in crime Nir Haim Shakaroff for the past 6 month, a few thoughts came to mind about LOVE.

We often search for love, search for someone to give us love, search for someone to give love to, even search for that love we can give to ourselves.
And most of the time we get disappointed, feel rejected, confused and exhausted.

How can it be? How is it that a journey to such a beautiful cause is so futile and hard?

Could it be that it’s our definition of love that is mistaken?
Could it be that love is not something you achieve or give, is neither a “thing” at all. Instead, could it be that it is who we ARE?

In this case, can we see love anywhere and everywhere? Can the journey change from trying to get/take/give love, to realizing it, connecting to it, tapping into its uniting power?

And if so, what are the barriers in this journey?

I’ll continue marinating with these questions, using movements like in this video to access my physical, energetic, and possibly spiritual heart.
