Active Love
What it is
Active Love is a powerful practice that shifts your relationship to someone who’s hurt you — by directing love toward them, even when they don’t deserve it.
It’s not about reconciliation or condoning bad behavior. It’s about reclaiming your own heart.
How it works
- Visualize the person — the one who hurt or angered you.
- Feel a beam of love in your chest, building like a force.
- Project that love outward, wrapping them in warmth.
- Watch the beam return to you — stronger and clearer.
Why it matters
You can’t heal while holding on to hate. Active Love clears space for you to move forward.
“Hating them ties you to them. Loving them sets you free.”
