Family: love them or hate them?

We all have a family. I believe a better name for family is ‘loved ones’ which also includes friends, colleagues, neighbours, pets and more. Your family teaches you throughout your life to give and to receive love.

Love is such a powerful emotion – love for a child, a parent, a friend.  Enjoying that love is wonderful, loss of that love can be truly painful.

Love heals, makes you laugh and generally makes life worth living.

Here are my views on love:

Loving is for all, not just your partner, family and friends. It should also include yourself! Often, the most unlovable people are those that gain the most value from your love, be it a smile, a kind word or an offer of help.

Receiving love as well as giving love balances the passing of energy. Sometimes it takes practice to receive love. Many are good at giving but do not practice receiving. To be balanced and healthy you need to do both.

Love is for 365 days a year. All of us have good days and bad days. But love transcends the ups and downs of life. You may be very cross with your partner, child, friend…. but you still love them. It is important for them to know that. Consistency is not always easy but it is essential for your loved one to feel secure in being loved by you.

This post is dedicated to those in need of love.

Available face-to-face or via Zoom/WhatsApp or phone.

We would love to hear from you.  If you have a question or want to book an appointment with Alison Wem for intuitive life guidance, spiritual development or psychic mediumship, contact us here
