Aquarius DAILY OM....Develop Unconditional Love

Aquarius Daily Horoscope

You may be more accepting of others and find that it is easier to be more tolerant of their actions today. Your desire to acknowledge other people for who they are could be the result of your ability to accept yourself as well, for giving yourself unconditional love makes it possible to extend compassion to those around you.

Perhaps today you can do a loving-kindness meditation to further develop your loving nature. In loving-kindness meditation, you take a few minutes to first focus on yourself by wishing yourself love, peace, and happiness. Picturing your body becoming filled with love each time you inhale may increase your feelings of self-acceptance and well-being.

As your love for yourself expands, you can then repeat the same process for the people in your life. Through this form of meditation you may notice that your ability to understand and love others grows.

Being able to extend full unconditional love to others is only possible when we already love ourselves. If we don’t have the same love for ourselves, we are simply projecting our need and desire to love onto the people in our lives and our love then becomes filled with restrictions.

Loving-kindness meditation, however, is a way in which we can cultivate compassion, love, and tolerance for our own imperfections first, which makes it easier to then broaden our range of self-love to encompass others.

By learning how to give yourself love first today, your love for others will be pure, honest, and unconditional.
