Magnetism of Eros

Trust in what your heart yearns for without concern about how it will manifest. Take steps toward that which moves your heart. Reach out for what your soul wants and needs. Allow yourself to be vulnerable, for only then can you be truly held. That which appears out of reach or unavailable to you is closer than you realize.

The Magnetism of Eros is our soul’s fascination with that which appears different and calls to us at a deep level. This soul-deep attraction inspires us to remain open, be passionate and willing to engage with life, other people and new, vitalising pathways and practices that inspire us. It keeps us moving on our authentic life path, living by the call of the heart. This oracle indicates that your heart is being called to a particular path or way in life. It may not make logical sense, but to honor the call of the heart is to honor the needs of the soul. The call of the heart can lead you into unknown and intriguing territory. It can feel liberating, but also unsettling, as you let go of known worlds and reach for the unfamiliar. Following such a path will bring a fresh influx of energy and expand your understanding of yourself, your life path, and your higher purpose. It is meant to be.

Eros is a Greek word for love. On a spiritual level, Eros as our passionate, open, engaged love for life. When we experience Eros, we are ready to embrace our journey. It is an affirmation of life. Its opposite is the destructive drive, known as Thanatos, which is the drive behind our undermining, self-defeating and self harming behaviors. We may engage in such negative behaviors in a misguided attempt to heal ourselves or make ourselves feel better. When we act negatively, despite our best intentions to be positive, part of us is trying to tell a story that is yet to be fully heard. Until that story has heard, we cannot let it go. We get stuck in a negative loop.

To resolve the negative Thanatos drive with us and in our world, we need Eros. We need to embrace life, including our negative experiences. By acknowledging and healing our suffering, we can find the courage and wisdom to live more fully. The challenge and gift of Eros leads us into our vulnerability. From there, we can also recognize our strength and dignity. We become able to let go and heal.

This Oracle brings the message that life has particular gifts to share with you. There is the promise of deep soulful connection with your true self and with others – and a healing realization that you are truly desired and loved. You are encouraged to explore, new pathways, especially if you feel out of your depth and a bit vulnerable and doing so – more so if they involve personal healing. The Oracle indicates the path is opening up for you. It may not be the easiest way forward, but when your heart leaps at the prospect of it, know something truly special is unfolding for you through that pathway. Trust where your heart is leading you.

Healing Process

Take a moment to consciously connect with your breath and ground your awareness in the present moment. Place your hands over your heart. Can you connect with what it is to feel vulnerable? To have needs? This may be easy or difficult for you to acknowledge. Whatever you experience is absolutely fine. To feel vulnerable, to need to be loved, heard, held and seen, for example, is acceptable and essential to your human journey.

As you connect with your heart, imagine, feel or intend that a beautiful white light is shining from afar. It loves you, and is reaching out to reassure, comfort, and protect you. If you can, allow it to truly hold you. Relax into its embrace and imagine the light wrapping itself around you like a loving cloak. As you do this, you may sense your heart and mind letting go of attention. You didn’t realize you had been holding. You make sense that this white light is in your heart, reaching for you always from deep within.

Rest in this awareness for as long as it feels best for you. You have completed your healing process.
