Impressions

It is challenging to stay connected to love because we are naturally negative. This negativity comes from our egos, which seek to divide us instead of bringing us together. However, suppose people become more conscious of their innate loving nature and spend more time living in that consciousness rather than in a fearful ego-driven state. In that case, they will be able to remain connected with the Universe as a whole.

Being in alignment with the Universe means focusing on your primary needs and accepting that there’s a greater force at work to which you can choose to conform your life. It involves letting go of excessive personal control to better focus on aligning what matters most in your life with the Divine will. This frees one from obstructions in their path, thereby creating new opportunities for positive change.
