Jafree Ozwald – If you want to feel more love, loving and loved, you must do one essential thing. You must allow yourself to become more sensitive. The more sensitive you are, the more love you’ll be able to feel inside your being, and radiate through your heart to others and yourself. Being sensitive means being open, vulnerable, and willing to feel that which you’re afraid to feel. It means being willing to face that which you cannot face inside. An insensitive person has put walls around that which he/she cannot face or feel. The pain was too great at the time, and they believed they were too small to find peace within the pain. It takes a deeply courageous person, who has an inner strength and spiritual warrior to continuously choose sensitivity over anything else along their life’s journey.
Choosing the path of sensitivity means you’re wiling to truly be alive. You’re open to feeling the wounding that others are holding in their body as well as what is buried within your own. This willingness to feeling the wound is the door to feeling the love, and healing that which is needing love. If you shut the door on feeling pain, you’ve turned your back on love. A deep compassion for yourself (and others) is born out of this path to higher sensitivity. It is one of the most essential and over-looked ingredients on the journey to self-realization and enlightenment.
In the beginning stages of re-sensitizing your being, you’ll feel as if you’re taking the risk of being damaged by the harshness of the world. This is why it is vital to learn how to remain free from the ego’s trap of defensiveness, so that you never take anything personally. It’s only the small powerless self that feels the need to defend, protect, hide and run away. Your true ever radiant Self always embraces, moves towards the pain with love, compassion and forgiveness. On the path to higher consciousness, you’ll find the heart is in a constant state of expansion and receptivity. This paradigm when practiced is extremely powerful as the heart continuously expands into an ever brighter ball of joy, lightness and ecstasy. It is only through the path of the heart that true compassion arises which allows you to retain a perpetual state of sensitivity.
