yes, i believe in love. love is love. one can choose love, even when it is not reciprocated. be the love you wish to feel. one gets what they focus on.
observe the pain of heartbreak that you feel, while remaining in the present. there are many ways to do this...so you can return to feeling love. here's one from e tolle for times when you feel that heartbreak:
"If you are present, the painbody cannot feed anymore on your thoughts, or on other people's reactions. You can simply observe it, and be the witness, be the space for it. Then gradually, its energy will decrease." -e tolle-

geoabcd1234: If the answer is yes,how did it work for you ?
people become heart broken if only they believe in love. here is answer but they want sometime to be normal n give space to new person in heart. some says they will never fall in love again but time is great healer. broken heart ppl start behave normally after some time. its nature n fact

I partially agree with you.
Time IS a healer but you never forget the pain you went through when the relationship ended
It's natural to say you'll never fall in love again but the reality is that most of us want to love someone and to be loved by that person
Ah, heart pain. Been there, done that, not fun... In the middle of a broken heart, nothing matters anymore and love is the last thing that one wants to hear about, after the pain starts to ease, believing in love, will start to return.
Yes, after the tears and some mending of the spirit, one can always fall in love again if they're open to it. There's something about always being kicked that keeps people down.

Great posts. Jono are you saying its a form of mindfulness - that you focus on the feeling rather than let thoughts run through your head [painful thoughts] and that on focusin on the body, the pain of losing a loved one goes ? I want to get this one right. 'Practise Meditation daily

broken heart can do meditation it can happen after 2-6 month if that person is guy. women heal quicker i think so. guy need lot of time if they are sincere.

hiya gg i enjoy your posts!
yes!
all i'm saying... is feel your feelings in the moment, bring yourself to the present and observe instead of adding 'stories' from your mind/ego. i'm not saying the loss one feels goes...but it doesn't attach itself to a series of stories that land one in the abyss. i think by feeling the pain, observing, it doesn't get added to a hairball of emotions that are still inside...instead it gets processed.
rinse and repeat as necessary.
like you, i think daily meditation and mindfulness are really important.
then again... i might just be talkin' crazy talk in the throws of quitting smoking....

In general, I think men take longer to heal. They take breakups very seriously. They aren't ready to move on to fall in love again too quickly.
SOME women may heal quicker. It took me 8 years to get over him.
The thing that works for me in a breakup is to remember the bad times rather then how happy you were with that person. That lasts for about 15 minutes and then it's on to again.
I've heard people say they won't get a dog because they know the dog would only live 10-13 years and in order to avoid heartbreak of the dog's death, they live without the most important love they could ever have, that of a dog.
Falling in love with a human is much the same thing. With relationships not lasting long in this era, you could say you won't fall in love again in order to avoid a broken heart.
LadyDiz2: Definitely still believe in love, no matter what I've experienced to the contrary. Just not sure that everyone finds it
hiya LD
i think you're right. i think one can feel love...be love... but finding someone for that 'in love' stuff...not sure everyone will find it. but out on limb here... i do think we attract everything we have. and if one believes that our reality is really only that which we perceive... (whew...there's an early morning mouthful... ) then look at what the universe is mirroring back to you, and if the 'in love' stuff ain't there...change what you're doin' as the only thing one can change is self...focus on 'in love', and it will find you.
i think sometimes folks just want to feel 'in love' so they don't have to feel the lack of, or aloneness,...but aren't really ready or wanting to make the kind of commitment 'in love' requires.
A little touchy since each person will deal with things differently but possibly similarities. It requires time, reflection, and acknowledgement.
I do believe in love. After things have settled and the turmoil is close to none or gone.
If there is a recent heart break; I think caution and making sure you've dealt with things to where you can truly put them behind you is more important. It's too easy to become selfish and reckless which can generally be more harmful to others.

Hiya Jono As always, you give inspiration to all in your posts. But, playing devil's advocate here, is saying we attract what we have not a way of comforting ourselves with the illusion of control over things which we in fact have no control over? Believing we have this control will make us perceive any random good fortune as verifying what we have been hoping for, even if it's in a different form to what we actually have been trying to manifest?
I definitely agree with you in respect of those who say they want to find love but are in fact unwilling to accept it into their lives. No matter how lonely some are, the fear of a relationship going wrong, or unwillingness to change their established routines, or the reticence in compromising their single lifestyle, has them turning away from love even though it might transform their lives into an extraordinary adventure filled with happiness and joy. Hopefully I'm not one of them.

weeelllll..... i think we do unconsciously control what we bring into our lives and how we perceive it.
and i had to laugh at myself..i'm a strong manifestor..just not very detailed in the planning...i've attracted an awful lot of things that haven't made me happy, nor did i find them very comforting...so i like to deny what i have manifested.....
"verifying what we have been hoping for, even if it's in a different form to what we actually have been trying to manifest?"
it's all illusion it's all in how we interpret things
what is manifested is what we hoped for...whether we see it or not.. our choices have consequences...and we can choose even how we feel about the consequences...
true love only comes when one feels its time to settle down .when the glamour of your youth...is behind you....life can still be enjoyable.....we all need roots....something/someone.....to keep that spark alive within you...it is there.....perhaps staring you in the face..???...but...this is the question......can you see it.????..does the thought frighten you....who knows...does anyone know for sure.....one thing is for sure ,we live/die....inbetween thos times.....lets all hope some of us find the answer........your truelly.....old pratt face.....

It would appear to me that after we nourish our bodies we need nourishment for our souls. I have heard some say money makes the world go round; partly yes - it gives us bargaining power, to purchase food, shelter and such like. "Love" gives us peace and true freedom, security, validation, it helps perpetuate procreation, and gives us a place that is only ours, and ours alone. What you have felt for someone and vice versa is and always will be yours and yours alone. Love is unique; it's the fingerprint of life itself. You have no choice but to live and , yes, go on despite bad experiences. Make better choices when it matters.
