What Does “Unconditional Love” Really Mean?

Unconditional love is not associated with the ego; it is not personal or emotional. Unconditional love is free from expectations, and needs nothing in return. To love unconditionally is to accept unconditionally, regardless of a person’s background or behaviors for we are all part of the same Source.

An exercise in Unconditional Love:

Ask your Higher Self:  Is there anyone in my life I have unconditional love for? Make a list.

If Yes: Take one of the people on the list and place them in your heart.  Ask to experience the feeling of unconditional love. Take a few notes on this experience afterwards.

If no: How can I foster the capacity to love unconditionally?  What is the first step?
