An intense phase of evolution is taking place, as a society, we are being shifted into an authentic way of loving. The most prominent manifestation of this, in my life, was in 2012 when I was in an on-again and off-again relationship where I tried to hold onto him for fear of losing him. Only to find out that I did lose him and what I gained was better, a sense of devotion, peace and loving everyone whether our personalities match, I might need to be away from them or whatever physical distance I had between someone else.

It hasn’t been easy but this evolution and transformation unfolded even more last year when I ended a prolific relationship. With whom I believed to be my soulmate, was not and I had to rel-learn that love is not pulling, holding, manipulating, obsessing, fixating and possessing. Love is pure and true. No drama and no attachments.

Here are 12 new ways that are worth embracing:

1. Loving and letting go.

2. Giving and not expecting back.

3. Loving without keeping count.

4. Loving without an agenda.

5. Loving with sincerity.

6. Loving with the absence of money, hierarchy and competition.

7. Loving with compassion.

8. Loving with release.

9. Loving with intuition.

10. Loving without keeping score.

11. Loving without holding back.

12. Loving with devotion.
