In this episode, we’re going to talk about conditional love and shine a light on how we may unknowingly withhold love from ourselves or others based on the conditions we’ve internalized. Living with conditional love carries heavy consequences. Most prominently, it creates the ever-present feeling of not being enough, of needing to fix or change who we are in order to be loved or accepted. It’s a constant state of lack and emotional poverty—one of the great silent epidemics of our time.

The great tragedy? It doesn’t have to be this way. Because the love we seek is already within us.

This is why I begin each episode with the One Heart Meditation. We’re training ourselves to access the love that is always present. So let’s begin with a three-breath meditation to return to the heart:

Breathing in, come back into awareness of your body and descend to your heart.
Breathing in, open your heart.
Breathing in, embody the love that is always inside you.

Hello, my friend. Welcome to the One Heart Field Notes. I’m your host, Brooke Snow, and I’m so grateful to have you here.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about the #1 tool for accessing love. Notice that I say access, because the truth is, you are love. And you always have love inside of you. We just block our access to the love within with all our judgments of ourselves. In this episode, I want to share with you my fastest and most effective tool for returning to the natural state of love that you are.

Before we begin, I invite you to join me in a three-breath meditation to settle into your own heart.

Breathing in, come back into awareness of your body and descend to your heart.

Hello my friend. Welcome to the One Heart Field Notes. I’m your host Brooke Snow, and I’m so grateful to have you here.

I came across a quote recently that said, “If it has conditions, it’s not love.”

For most of my life, all I knew was conditional love. To even speak of love being unconditional felt abstract—maybe even confusing—based on how I’d been taught. It sure sounds nice and idealistic, but I always carried a list of exceptions that basically canceled it out as a real option.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about how judgment is the #1 block to experiencing unconditional love. And I will tell you right now: if you can let go of judgment, you will enter the world of unconditional love. It’s that simple. And… at the same time, not so simple. Because our judgments can be so deeply held. But my goodness, it is worth the effort to let go. Because just as the quote says, “If it has conditions, it’s not love.” So my friend, let’s learn how to see—and remove—the barrier of judgment. Because unconditional love is real love. And real love is so much better.

Hello, my friend. Welcome to the One Heart Series. I’m your host, Brooke Snow, and I’m so grateful to have you here.

A question that often arises when you begin to explore unconditional love after living with conditions for so long is: If love has no conditions, then how do you not just become a doormat? How does the world not descend into chaos? These questions are really the result of being taught fear instead of love. And I think it’s so important to get clear on this distinction—because understanding it helps us create a more peaceful world.

Before we begin, I invite you to join me in a three-breath meditation to settle into your own heart.

Breathing in, come back into awareness of your body and descend to your heart. Breathing in, opening your heart. Breathing in, embody the love that is always inside you.

Smile, and say to yourself, I love and accept you.

Thank you, friends, for joining me for the One Heart Series.

Have you ever felt divided inside yourself? Perhaps there’s part of you who really wants to do something and part of you who doesn’t. Or part of you that feels sad regarding an ending, and part of you that is relieved. Maybe there’s a part of you that still longs for a certain dream or a part of you that still carries the burden of a criticism you received a long time ago. We often describe our complex feelings using this language… “Part of me feels (fill in the blank).” In this episode, we’re going to address our many different parts and how this concept can help us to more fully understand our emotions and the triggers they might bring. Most importantly of all, is the invitation we all have to love these different parts of who we are. Even those parts that annoy us or that we would rather reject. We’re going to learn how to talk to those parts with love and understanding so we can move into wholeness instead of staying divided in fractal parts inside.
