Cancer is an emotional month, which is not necessarily a bad thing!
AWAKENING GENUINE LOVE:
Living as a spiritual person doesnt mean letting go of the thoughts and feelings that fill our lives every day. Theres no need to purge happiness, love, fear, desire, exhilaration, or even anger in order to follow a truly spiritual path. In fact, the opposite is true, and our emotions can be enormously helpful in connecting to the Light.
We simply need to ask one very basic question: Are we in control of our emotions, or are our emotions in control of us?
Our emotions are connected to specific frequencies, or emanations, through which the Light of the Creator radiates from the Upper Worlds. Each of these emanations has a name and a precise purpose. They are like portals through which energy flows between the physical and the spiritual dimensions.
How we feel and, more importantly, the intention and motivation underlying our feelings affect the rate and quality of the flow.
This month we have the opportunity to increase the positive energy that flows into our lives through our emotions. One very important emotion Id like to focus on is love.
The kabbalists speak of two types of love: ego love and sharing love.
Ego love is when our love is conditional upon what the other person gives us in return for our care. Its a love whose focus is me. Sharing love is when we feel an innate desire to care for another, even if they do not give us anything in return. It is love not dependent on anything. Its a love whose focus is you.
It is the second type of love that connects us to the Light of the Creator and truly brings into our life the blessings and fulfillment we all seek. And it is this type of love that puts our spiritual growth to the test. We can do 101 different spiritual connections, but if we are not constantly awakening and growing our love towards others, we are not connecting to the Light of the Creator.
Every single one of us has the ability to open up our channel of love this month. The more we practice loving someone for no reason at all, the more the channel will open. This may be challenging and against our nature, but the more we awaken genuine love, the greater the miracles we will see in our own lives.

Oh my goodness, that was something I really needed to hear. Right now, my emotions are totally ruling me and I'm in this "ego love" that I want to transcend. Thank you for sharing!
