Unconditional love is a higher frequency of love which is given freely and abundantly, just for the sheer joy of loving, it feels liberating as it’s free from any tethers of attachment, agenda or expectation of receiving anything in return.
Love in its lower vibration is conditional and transactional – “I’ll love you as long as you do x,y or z for me, or as long as you be or behave a certain way.” Conditional love can also come from a sense of neediness born of unresolved self-esteem issues, not feeling whole in ourselves and so needing something or someone outside of ourselves to make us feel better or make us feel complete. It can feel quite unsafe and precarious as we fear the loss of that which we’re attached to for a sense of wellbeing.
Shifting our expression of love from the conditional to the unconditional can be a rich, deep, sometimes challenging, yet always rewarding journey of transformation. It requires us to do the inner work on our self-esteem and self-love – by bringing unconditional acceptance and love to all parts of ourselves we fill up the holes within, we heal and we become whole . . . unhealthy dependency on things outside ourselves gradually falls away as we are filled with our own love which can then organically ripple out into the life around us. Now we can connect with others in unconditional love. As whole, authentic beings we each bring the best of ourselves, to our relationships with others and with life itself, coming together in mutual joy and respect and forging a greater love together.
