Gotha Shakira's advice to find love in Los Angeles


How do I find love in Los Angeles?

Our beloved Los Angeles remains a lot, has been holding a lot, especially in recent times. Between pain, anger and the burning impulse to act and defend our communities with injustice, there are moments of union, respite, joy. All these emotions come from love. It has always been so. In a city like ours, we are often forced to act on passion. But, how often do we allow ourselves to sit with those feelings, observe them, notice them?

The “relaxed” reputation of the sometimes seems ironic. Of course, there are fortuitous afternoons from Monday to Friday of the pool, the slow pace that the heat of the desert in the middle of summer forces us to adopt for somatic survival, the moments when traffic only allows us to make a message and call it one day. And then, in contrast, there is a blur of lights in 101 after the peak time ends, the fires to publish (both literally and figuratively), the family tensions that somehow remain open the seven days a week. Sometimes we are allowed to notice. Sometimes we are not. But when we are, do we take the opportunity?

The first step to call your life more love is to believe in your heart that love is abundant and everywhere. If you think love is a goal, a destiny, something that can be found instead of feeling alone in stillness and chaos and everything else, you will never feel complete. Commit with the practice of observing and documenting love, wherever and, as you can see it. The documentation not only in your mind, but on paper, can help you recognize any sign of the universe and, therefore, encourage more of them to appear, this is a practice of the magic of words, to honor synchronicity, of the manifestation. Practice exposure therapy: when you see a couple in love who participates in a sweet moment, do not look for shame or jealousy. Allow yourself to feel that same sweetness in your heart, knowing that with each bite of happiness that anyone experiences, all the vibration of the planet is raised. Because the infinite delights of the happiness of love are also accessible to you, everywhere, and always. Note how aunt Waiting for the bus to South Bay with arms full of groceries still moves everything to the side, so a grandfather You can sit at the bank. Wait for a jacaranda tree enough time to see a petal flutter to the ground. Cook a nutritious meal for a new friend who could have met in AM a couple of weeks ago, but wants to know better.

As not only notes, but you create moments of romance, passion and connection in your own life, affirm your existence as a romantic being, passionate and connected: you move in love, you are love. Commit to believe this deep enough, and you will feel more peace than you have met. And when his next lover appears, exactly when they are supposed to do so, as they always do (as always, always Do it), your life will be so full of love that you will find that your cave has become a waterfall.
