Love is freedom

Today I was reading an entry I wrote in my diary earlier this year where I said, 

'...you cannot hold onto love, love is freedom. 

You need to feel, and be, free to truly love.'

So often we can become so frightened in love that we do the very opposite.
We try to hold on, we try to control and we break the very thing we love in order not to lose it.

 It also made me think of the lyrics from this Mumford and Sons song, 

'Sigh No More.' 

'Love it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,
It will set you free
Be more like the man you were made to be.
There is a design,
An alignment to cry,
Of my heart to see,
The beauty of love as it was made to be.'

Imagine clenching your fists really tightly as if you are holding onto something. 

How do you feel in your body? 

Now unclench your fists and turn your hands palm up and just let yourself feel

the difference of allowing yourself not only to let go, but to be open to receiving
and accepting whatever the world has to give you.
