✨ Redefining Love and Patterns: When Love Feels Blocked, It’s Not a Block

clarity energy healing personalized well-being purpose relationships self-worth Aug 01, 2025

Sometimes we feel blocked in love.

But I don’t see it as a block.

I see it as a pause—

A moment to take a step back,

To go inwards,

To examine what really matters.

Sometimes we’ve built a life

That once made sense.

But as we evolve,

It no longer serves us.

And we’re hungry for something else.

 

I Used to Think It Was Either Fear or Excitement

I used to think

You either live in fear

Or you live in joy and excitement.

And I would fluctuate between the two—daily, weekly.

One moment, fearful of connection,

Holding back because of past hurt.

The next moment, I was excited about a person,

A story I made up about who they are.

Attached to the height of a lustful connection.

But when I took a step back,

I realized—

What I truly want is unconditional love.

Not just romantic love.

Love that is physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual.

That’s what we’re all searching for.

 

The Third Way: The Way of Love

There’s a third way.

A way of love comes from peace, security, protection, and support.

It doesn’t mean it can’t have lust or passion.

But you have to ask yourself—

What kind of love are you willing to accept?

You say you want a partnership.

You say you want to bring life into this world.

So ask yourself:

What kind of love do you want your child to be born from?

Is it transactional love?

Lustful love?

Or is it the safe, steady, unconditional kind?

That’s where the block is.

That’s what this pause is asking you to examine.

 

The World Is Changing. So Are We.

I’ve been talking to people—spiritual people, tech entrepreneurs, people from all walks of life.

And I see a pattern.

They’re waking up to this truth:

“I can’t change everything around me,

but I can change myself.

I can change how I show up.”

That shift is everything.

It’s not just personal—it’s collective.

 

Showing Up With Love Is the Purpose

This is where the world is moving—towards love.

Not the kind of love where you deplete yourself.

Not transactional love.

But secure love.

Love that acts as a purpose.

Love that acts as protection.

To find that in someone else, you have to start with yourself.

You have to see love all around you.

Feel it at the source.

And love yourself—your shortcomings, your mistakes,

Your whole journey.

You start radiating that out,

And love starts finding you—from small daily interactions to that partner who reflects it right back.

 

A Time to Go Inward

Right now, with so much darkness in the world,

With systems crumbling,

People are craving a different life.

A different love.

But to get there, you have to go inward first.

You need a little hermit phase—a little space from sexual connection, from romantic stories.

You need space to ask:

What am I attracting?

And what do I want to attract?

 

A Story: Choosing Peace Instead of Reactivity

Let me give you an example.

I was flying from Toronto to LA.

The airline asked me to pay for my bags again,

even though I had already paid.

None of my cards were going through.

Everything was delayed.

It was a mess.

And I had a choice—

Do I stand in fear?

Do I get frustrated?

And then I heard a voice:

“Let’s practice something.

Let’s practice peace. Let’s practice love.”

So I grounded myself.

I closed my eyes.

I sent light and love to the man at the counter.

Even though nothing was working.

A few moments later, I heard: “Miss?”

I opened my eyes.

He handed me a first-class ticket.

For 20 minutes of discomfort,

I got a moment of joy, ease, and grace.

 

That’s What Changing Patterns Looks Like

Changing your patterns—

especially around love—

might feel uncomfortable at first.

But that discomfort?

It’s just a small initiation.

A rewire.

A reframe.

And it leads to something beautiful—

Something first-class.
