As we search for love in our lives, most of us often feel as though we're on a journey without a compass — or even worse, with a faulty map. We are programmed from our earliest childhood experiences with scores of assumptions about love. We're taught male and female roles, and ways of seeing ourselves, that may lead to separation, fear and mistrust. These many fallacies and misconceptions lead us to associate love with disappointment and pain.
In The Seven Laws of Love, Dr. Deborah Anapol gives us a warm, simple and universal guide to the
principles that are common to all loving relationships. Drawing from the stories of the thousands of
individuals and couples she has counseled in her workshops and private practice, from her own personal struggles and
victories, and from sacred texts, Dr. Anapol distills love down to its basic essentials. Based
on real-world observations, she identifies the seven laws that flow naturally from the true nature
of love and shows how we can apply these to our lives. Her warmth,
humor, utter honesty, and lucid
writing style cut through the misunderstandings that get in the way of intimacy, and give us an
accurate map to the source of love inside ourselves.
- Love is its own law. Let love be your guiding principle. When in doubt, listen to your heart. Don’t allow mental concepts, beliefs, or assumptions that are not based on love to dictate your behavior.
- The law of source. You are the source of love. The love inside you is abundant and eternal. You don’t need to beg, control, or compromise in order to be loved.
- The law of attraction. The more you focus on love and gratitude, the more you will be surrounded by love. If you complain, blame, and dwell on fear, you’ll attract others who are also resentful, angry, and fearful.
- The law of unity. Love knows no borders and no boundaries. Love includes everyone and everything. Love takes no position, rising above separation. Find unity within by resolving the conflicts inside yourself and you won’t have to act them out with another.
- The law of truth. Let telling the truth about who you are and what you are feeling and thinking be your foundation. Vulnerable self-disclosure allows for empathy and understanding. The more truth is shared the more love grows.
- The law of consciousness. Love is a state of consciousness available only when you’re willing to relinquish your defenses. Protection is a barrier to love. Love cannot be given or taken but it can be shared. The vibration of love in you is often stimulated when you come into contact with one who carries it.
- The law of forgiveness. It’s ok to make mistakes. Very few humans are able to love perfectly. Forgive yourself and others generously and you’ll always have a second chance. Focus more on giving than getting and you’ll have much less forgiving to do.
