What the Heart Wants

Emily Dickinson said,  “The heart wants what it wants- or it does not care.” 

This is an amazing quote, but highly misunderstood. This quote isn't about the heart only wanting one person--and no one else will do. The heart works on emotion, and on energy, so what the heart wants is the feeling. The heart wants the love. The heart wants to feel and experience that special connection. It wants to expand, because there is no greater feeling than love. Even the word 'love' is beautiful to say and beautiful to look at.

When we feel love, we feel that rush of dopamine, serotonin, and adrenalin. These are the fun chemicals that give our body a natural high. All of these get sent throughout our bodies, which makes us grow attached to that feeling, and connect it with a particular person. But it's not about that specific person that we want, but how they made us feel. 

If you are holding out for one person, hoping that they will come around and see how wonderful you are because you believe that’s what the heart wants...think again. Your heart wants to give you that rush, to please you. To get you into alignment.

This is why you should never get attached to the idea of 'the one' or a 'one true love'. Find someone who is your best friend and lover; someone who respects and loves you. Find someone who you feel a deep, beautiful love with, because, when you do, you will have discovered what the heart truly wants.  

Give yourselves amazing love, beautiful people, and you will attract the same. 

Namaste.
