Lost That Lovin' Feelin'?

 You lost that lovin' feelin', Whoa, that lovin' feelin', You lost that lovin' feelin', Now it's gone, gone, gone, Whoa-oh.

Hmmm! Did the loving feeling actually  get lost? Is it even possible for that loving feeling to stop? If you find yourself nursing a heart ache that will take more than a couple of pints of Hagan -Daz and a box of kleenex to get through, it may feel like love has been stripped from you...but is the loving feeling really gone?

No, Michael Singer reminds us in the below podcast, it isn't gone.  What is gone is yours or your wanna be lovers attention on it. That's all.  If you feel a loss of love, it means you stopped focusing on love and put your attention elsewhere. 

You got distracted by distractions.

Huh? What the Fork , crazy lady?

Love isn't something out there.  It is something in here! Love is easy but because we get distracted by the mind and its never ending chattering, its busy-body way of telling us what to do and how to do in order to feel good inside, its noisy  directions as to what we need to pull in  from the outside world in order to be okay and its preferences...we tend to pay more attention to that, than we do to this natural and easy flow of love within us. We get distracted from seeing and experiencing this love  within by the mind. We open and close our awareness of this flow of love based on what unfolds "out there" at mind's direction. We close! We don't lose the lovin' feelin', we just lost our focus on it.  

The other person whom we assumed was either filling our heart or breaking our heart becomes a distraction from Mind's chatter...our focus on them  distracts us from our mental distractions.  If they please mind...meet its preferences we feel "good" and are open to the flow of love within us. We are no longer absorbed by the craziness of mind.  If they do not please mind by checking off all the things on the "unwanted" list , we feel bad.  We close to the love that is within us. It has little to do with the other person, regardless if they are flaming the loving feeling or losing it, and everything to do with whether we are opening or closing to the awareness of the love within.

Hmm! All is well.
