Spiritual Journey of Fairytale True Love

By Amruta

Disney fairytales such as Cinderella, Enchanted, Beauty and The Beast, Oz - The Great and The Powerful, Aladdin serve as examples to show how many hurdles, evil attacks, break ups and obstacles need to be crossed and things to be accomplished to reach true love, a place called home. All the effort is rewarding at the end, they live happily ever after. They say that the kiss of true love has the power to rise life from the dead or convert a Beast into a Prince.

It’s true it’s not easy to have true love as shown in fairytales. Let’s explore the spiritual perspective:

Love is…

Why love is said to be the most powerful force in the Universe - It’s the fabric with which the existence is woven. It is your essence in the core. Love is what you are, it’s a state of being. Love waives off karmic baggages. It forms a protective shield.

The vibration of cosmic love spreads into the environment and increases the vibration of the planet and hence that of the collective consciousness.

Connecting to Love:

The shortcut to experience love is to spend time with a child. It helps to connect with your own inner child self quickly. Children are pure, innocent, vulnerable and closer to life and soul. A sign of your innocent vibration - Children connect easily, feel pulled towards and greet you voluntarily.

The Heart Chakra:

Opening heart chakra enables one to feel and act out of love. Heart connects to higher dimensions and has intelligence of its own. It’s capable of detecting its soul ties. When heart feels love for another, it is always two-sided. Unfortunately, the person with a blocked/closed heart chakra cannot feel love. However, a broken heart also has a way of healing itself similar to physical body. It’s scars show how many times he/she was willing to open the heart to another. You need to kiss a few frogs before you find the right one ! Each soulmate you encounter assists in growth, transformation and lessons.

Inner Work and Transformation:

Love of the heart can transmute/alchemize the daemons and shadows of the mind. It’s a long journey from shedding the layers of the mind and eliminating the hard shell of ego to reveal the vulnerable loving and peaceful innocence within. This is priceless and forgiveness is a must. Vulnerability is not weakness, it is strength and it’s where love is felt.

Self Love:

To be able to find true love in life, one has to start with self love. Self love is said to be the most important thing in life. When one is in love with all aspects of self including the mirrored/projected aspects of self that we see in others and achieve inner union between inner masculine and inner feminine, external reality reflects the internal reality. Some of the deviations to self love are attachment, obsession, childhood wounds, scarcity consciousness, etc. Heal and love yourself.

Toxic qualities that refrain one from acting out of heart are ego, materialism, domination, control, selfishness, arrogance, lust, violence, cruelty, etc.

Let go and Let God, Surrender in Prayer to seek Forgiveness ! Aim for Love, Peace and Harmony !

Life Purpose:

To discover one’s own passions and pursuing them is an act of self love. To discover and accomplish the purpose of life keeps one to be true to soul. It is self fulfilment and known to bring abundance. Taking self care, creating new good habits, doing your favourite hobby, turning inward in prayer and meditation, learning something new, achieving a goal, serving others, etc are all known to release hormones such as oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, etc in brain to keep one happy, satisfied and in high vibration. Becoming higher version of yourself is the key.

Movie Example:

Beauty and The Beast:

Kissing the beast in the movie means the following:

• Acceptance of toxicity in self and letting go of it to reveal the window of the heart. When one accepts the self in full, one can accept the shadows of others.

• When two polar opposite souls meet, they are like missing puzzle pieces. Each one has exactly what the other one lacks/needs.

• Acknowledging and expressing heart’s feelings breaks the curse of heartache and enables soul merge.

• The so called beast personalities are just external masks but in reality they may be consciously unaware of their real pure and loving self of the heart. A true love’s kiss breaks the curse of living as a monster and kickstarts a Beast’s transformation into The Prince.

Union:

When two hearts and souls unite in love, just the mere presence of soulmate brings joy/bliss/ecstasy. Joy emanates from heart, it is fifth dimensional. Happiness and Sorrow are Yang and Yin of the mind, they are third dimensional which co-exist like Light and Dark, Sun and Moon, etc and they balance each other. Love is enlightening, isn’t it ?

So Why delay ? Take your first step towards love by shedding your ego ! Cultivate compassion, empathy, humility, kindness, gratitude, love, service, forgiveness and detachment. Eject victim mindset by taking responsibility. Respond instead of reacting.
