The Love Oracle

What is the passion of teenage love? Just as the teenager develops there’s not only a physical change there’s a change in the brain and that lights up the need to feel your role in the world The questions start – What’s the point of all this life? What are we doing here? What is my role in the world? And how do I feel alive? These questions don’t end after teenage, however they are alive with the first real fire in the teenage. In older cultures, the child would go through an initiation to the dawn of their adulthood and leaving behind the child. Teenage love is the feeling of being alive through experiencing something new that is growing inside you – at one and the same time exciting and nerve-wracking and exhilarating. Teenage Love can open the doors of consciousness to mystical experiences and feelings of powerlessness at the same time. How do you make sense of the new self growing inside and capture the joy of life that is starting to open you to more of yourself and how you can be connected with another? FOR THOSE IN SYDNEY, Starting July 15 2022 Dance for Joy and Learn Sufi Movement https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/347203935317 Good for those exploring deeper connection within and what it feels like to feel oneness with your body and in sharing joy and life with others.

The history of the Sufi Movement and how it has influenced modern poetry and concepts of romance is better explained by Filip here on Youtube: https://youtu.be/WQirjcT7ENs.   The Short Version of the Sufi tradition is philosophers, mystics, teachers and Saints that originated in Bagdad in the roots of Islam and then later travelled to India to mix with devotees of Hindu and Buddhist traditions and taught that the rules of religion were not the path to god or happiness.    The path of looking at the self and your inner world was the path to a closer relationship with the divine and true love.   They used music, poetry, song, dance, chanting and teachings of the oneness of humanity, brotherhood, kindness and connection of humans to their environment, the stars and the earth.   In Sydney I'll be sharing a Sufi Movement Workshop starting July 15 2022: https://classbento.com.au/sufi-movement-workshop-sydney  Famous Sufi poets and writers such as Rumi have influenced the medieval and renaissance poets and writers such as Shakespeare and modern-day artists such as Beyonce who named her daughter after Rumi.    The romance in the music and the poets of the Sufi go beyond the idea of being romantically inspired by one person.  The romance is with life itself.   One of my favorite poets is Kabir who was not just a Sufi he is also considered a Yogi and Saint who was and is revered by Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims.   Kabir is known as being responsible for the Bhakti movement in India, which is singing and creating poetry full of devotion that inspires romance and deep feelings with the speaker and the listener and brings people to a deep connection to their heart.   Check out some poetry by Kabir: https://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/Poets/K/Kabir/Mybodyisfloo/index.html   My body is flooded by Kabir  (English version by Andrew Harvey) Original Language Hindi   My body is flooded  With the flame of Love.  My soul lives in  A furnace of bliss.   Love's fragrance  Fills my mouth,  And fans through all things  With each outbreath.

What is the purpose of nations and cultural differences if we just fight each other? There is a lot of talk about intentions of people to destroy humanity and start carte blanche. Or people that think of creating another option to leave earth and build an alternative on mars. People see war and conflict of religion, culture and nations and want to just end humanity. Just wipe it out. This is the exact thought form that will end us. What is the love of humanity? It is seeing the full potential of humans to be custodians of this earth and live in balance with all life on it. Society will only shift to harmony when we see from within a genuine love for humanity and the role we came to fulfill of being a lover of this planet and a leader of living the laws of honoring the gift of life on this planet. And that means honoring the gift of humanity to this planet and to ourselves and to each other If you are interested in joining a group working towards enlightenment contact me and we can set up a time to discuss: angela@dancewithangela.com

What does it mean to lose someone when they die and how does that changes our relationship to love? Over the years, I've had many people share with me the strange wonderful sad and miraculous passing over of their loved ones. Maybe you have a story to share. I will share the phenomena of seeing things while people are passing over, a bit from my experience and also research on the phenomena of near-death and deathbed experiences of the other side. Death is actually the biggest reminder of what we do value, how we love those who are close to us and how when the body dies, we are still deeply connected to those we incarnated with. Maybe you also have some 'contact' with the other realms with loved ones being close to you. How can this show us that what we deeply desire is a deeper connection to each other - and a deep need to be with those we love and connected to their betterment - even when they are no longer alive. If you want to hear more about my near-death experience you can have a look here https://youtu.be/oGYcfxjhTsM?t=1695 I share my journey with Sydney’s Interfaith group led by Siva and Vasantha Peri Also in our podcast Patti and I have 2 episodes when I was still in recovery from cancer – and really just trying to process the experience you can hear the episode here: https://anchor.fm/bbr-at-home-and-work/episodes/Episode-12---Angelas-Journey-Back-to-Life---A-Life-Worth-Living---Part-1---The-Message--What-are-you-doing-here-ebl9t0/a-a1isi4s Resources on Death and Near-Death Experiences: Dr Peter Fenwick

What is in our nature that makes us love naturally? If you have a child, they are naturally loving. Not always accepting or tolerating. But always loving. And then as we age, we lost that natural love of the world and life. Why? Recently I found a beautiful youtube channel where kids in trauma used music and dance to celebrate life and they now make an income from the channel to support their lives. You can see the Masaka Kids here: https://youtu.be/TH4V-yHbJXk Watching their videos, I feel life and I am happy. We have lost our connection to nature as a human species, and as a result, we have trauma, we have rising air pollution which is killing us, we have oceans filled with waste that kills other life and we are on a trajectory to the end of the human species because we have become the diseased peoples of the earth. Today, I'm going to look at natural love and how to reconnect to love in the self as a natural gift, when we connect to nature, and forget about the ideas of what humanity is, and reconnect to our initial role as a species that honored all life, animal, plants, microbes, fungi, bacteria that are our ancestors and the ecosystems of the planet that allow our earth to breathe and the natural kingdom that allows life to be possible at all. PS I've discovered this really cool Virologist Dr Zach Bush who shares how when we see the bigger picture of all life that allows us to exist on the earth - we can start to approach disease from an enlightened perspective. Check out Dr Zach Bush out here on the "VIROME" - how viruses are part of our evolution as a mammal and not an enemy, and instead a call to start looking at how we are part of the ecosystem of all life on earth. https://youtu.be/TEb33U0hHxM If you are in Sydney and want to explore your natural love through movement, join me here: Dance for Joy and learn Sufi Movement https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/347203935317

I wrote the Body of Love in 2012 to introduce movement-based and self-connection exercises to help people feel love and acceptance in their bodies. http://amzn.to/2o28JFB Now when there is more technology we are losing real connection in our bodies and becoming shaped by technology's impact on our bodies which is obvious from the increase in lack of attention, inability to focus, and general anxiety and sense of disconnectedness. In this podcast, I share 4 things we need to contemplate to start a better relationship with our bodies in these times. 1. Learning how to feel inside the body to stop giving our attention to the external way of perceiving the body. And building the skills required to feel deeper inside our body as a solution to the excessive focus on how our society makes us think we should look and looking at the body through the screen images. 2. How we can't regulate and legislate appropriate ways to respect the body if we don't help people and children to feel internally in their body because this will simply be more of a mind control measure of the body, which doesn't encourage the ability to feel and flow with who we are and who we are becoming. 3. The power of touch as a way to reclaim your connection to your body and the feelings of love that allow you to feel connection. Touch offers a deep connection that is a supportive and nurturing gift of the body. 4. How saying that you "love yourself" is not enough to manage the deprivation of human contact and human connection and touch when we are dealing with isolation or disconnection from each other. And how can we build social contact that brings us back into our humanity. The body is a gift - so let's learn what we can build through loving the gift of our body.

Erich Fromm from the Art of Loving: Calls Divine Love, "Love of God" the basis for our need to love lies in the experience of separateness and the resulting need to overcome the anxiety of separateness by the experience of union. Everyone’s version of god is important – because it shows us the many paths that will take you to your personal understanding of yourself and your perception of love and life itself. Now after the pandemic we’ve faced death and we’re thinking...Is this it? In this episode, I share how my experience of touching the Divine in Sufi Movement helped me start a journey or experiences that helped me experience the nature of life itself - not to know it - but to understand it from deep within. The sufi poem I share is here: http://rumiwithaview.com/2017/09/08/the-song-of-the-reed/ And if you want to check out the Building Better Relationships Journal and Meditation – have a look.  It helps you manifest and attracts the type of relationships you want. https://bit.ly/BBRJournal

In this podcast I share how disease can be an important clue about what you came to resolve spiritually using my own examples of thyroid disease and uterine and ovarian cancer which gave me fluid in the lungs and extensive blood clots in the lungs in 2019 (and almost took my life). We incarnate with certain diseases to learn how to use our chakras differently and resolve energies that are out of balance in those chakras.   The current situation of the virus has brought a lot of attention to disease.  You can incarnate to resolve energies not just for yourself, but also your family or a collective like humanity.    Join Angela's newsletter to stay posted on upcoming Classes in 2020:  https://bit.ly/3fI6EpQ You can join Angela on her Youtube Channels Love and Relationship Coach https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCihZvw-ZWGJn3ipYn66h9sw and Dance with Angela https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWiZWqu52a62jaAZXE8bZcg/ qeqQ516OFnpenjn8ZbDG

How many of us are in these times finding how different we are from others? Is this a good thing or a bad thing – well it certainly can be both! There can be polarisation in a family over anything: money, resources, faith, culture.  What we see in the news, division within the community isn’t new. It is just more visually represented to us in the media.  And the problem is the same ....how do we come together? In this podcast, I explore how our heart is wired to find connection and at the end of the podcast I share 4 steps shared with me by my teacher Tejasaji on how to start experiencing the other. And my position is that when we start to really experience the other, we can get past out emotional response to each other and begin to really feel the other so we can start to find real ways to come together and build new ways forward.

This podcast is from a livestream I did in July 2015 on Soul Mates and Romance and how powerful Romance is as an experience to light up your soul’s dreams and deep desires.  Typically we look at romance as two people coming together.  I look at romance as a desire that is not just about finding the one and instead a deeper connection to what you came to learn about love and all aspects of love that only romance can impel you to discover.  In the second part of the livestream I do a guided meditation where you can connect to your heart and discover how Romance lives in your heart as a light to find what love is teaching you to know about yourself..... especially the parts of yourself that you are uncomfortable with.

Our expectations start before we develop thought and language.  In this podcast I look at where did those expectations start in utero and in family lineages, habits and behaviours and from the level of the soul where you chose to incarnate with that family so you could learn and grow from those expectations. The podcast is from a Facebook Live video I did back in April 2019. Negative expectations about how you will be treated and how your body will be treated are chosen by your soul to learn how to change the expectation you have about receiving love and asking for love to be the way you desire it to be.

Can you look forward without looking backward? But what if every time you look backward you see that humanity didn’t get world peace... How do you move forward if the way you look at the past is filtered by the lens of 'we are not capable of harmony'. Can you actually make the world a better place for the entire human race or only a part of the population? We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. And the problem is the mind. Mental health at highest recognition ever Crisis has made inequalities in the world more transparent than ever So the problem is – we don’t have the mind to solve the problem as a planet. If we are to move humanity forward we have to look at the problem of the perception of the human mind that creates problem and work towards a different mind that starts with the heart and sees how we can look at humanity as a global species with many different expressions looking for a common cause to live life better than we did before and to find harmony among conflict.

This is from a Facebook live filmed in June 2019 in a series of videos where I explore living alone but staying connected. It was about 9 months before we went into lock down around the globe due to coronavirus. And in this series of talks I explore what are the obstacles we face coming together in community and how to overcome those obstacles to start changing the way we relate with each other and build better relationships.

This was a facebook live recorded in March 2018 after the incident in Charlottesville Virginia USA where a woman was killed by a car that rammed into anti-racist protestors. To end the cycle of division we need to see the roots of hate in humanity. I share a personal experience of hate and racism in myself and my life and how to use hate in ourselves to learn about love and how to build acceptance into the way we approach the darker side of ourselves and humanity.

This was a recording from a facebook live on Transformed Relationships in 2017 and shares tools and ideas how to create nurturing in your body. Working with men and women  in dance and healing, I could see how easy it is for us not to love our bodies. It's second nature to not love your body.   Our experience and perception of our body will always be internal and touch may be one of the most one of the senses that forces you to go more internal than any other sense.    In this podcast I explore what its like to ask the question about how nurturing influences our internal nature to Love - not just our body and our selves but how does nurturing also help us to learn the nature of human love and universal love that goes beyond the limits of our personality and body.   Here's the link for The Body of Love Workbook mentioned in the podcast http://amzn.to/2tCB71h The book gives 33 exercises to discover feeling the way we naturally are loving and creating that feeling in your body, feeling the energy body and learning how the energy body can you a deeper appreciation of yourself and your body. Angela Ambrosia is a healer and teacher on understanding and accepting the self, developing loving relationships and creating the heart centered practices with movement and and feeling that allows you to create greater connection with your self and others.

The virus is forcing us to see how Survival of the kindest works in community.  You don’t have to agree in a community, but when you are kind or considerate things naturally align and fall into place. Healing occurs naturally when we allow communication to open up to discovering how others live their lives. And communicating with an interest in others allows natural good will to occur. You may not like people, but communication that seeks to get to know people is the most powerful way to help community to happen naturally and build our relationships to move forward as a community - which is going to be the biggest focus on how we move beyond the pandemic. Dacher Keltner is a researcher on our capacity for good and want good for others, including having compassion for others.  His research builds on our evolutionary research that shows kindness is not just a social construct, it is part of our nature. You can find a video on his work here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8SVyHS3jZU One of his takeaways from Darwin is that evolutionary science research shows that tribes where people are kinder to each other have more children, they survive better and the children go on to flourish and do better. So kindness and helping each other has become a natural part of the ancient mammalian brain.

Do you struggle with the news and how it makes you feel?  Have you thought about how this impacts the way you love - yourself, or others - or perhaps your community and the rest of the human race With the virus impacting the way the man-made media presents the news to us we have an increasing need to be aware of how our thoughts can take that news and make it worse for oursevles in our community and in our love relationships. This podcast looks at how the shift from the piscean age where we sacrificed the needs of some in the community for the benefit of others will be replaced by the aquarian age when we consciously take care of the needs of all people in the community and once we become aware of how our thoughts impact everybody in our world, including different countries, different leaders of those countries and different people in our community. Our community (common unity) is a reflection of how we think about each member of that community.

Self nurturance and love in crisis. How to stay healthy dealing with shock, grief and excess emotions. People are experiencing a lot of emotions during this global pandemic, there are: People in isolation dealing with mental health concerns, suicidal, other fears, but also those in front-line services who are responsible for taking care of their workers, hospital people responsible for others, loved ones with someone sick they may be isolated from and in general people may be picking up fear about the virus situation and feeling scared about unknown and about sadness and emotions they see around them. So how do you release excess emotions? In this podcast, I share my own story caring for my father 20 years ago when he had cancer and how I could not let go of negative emotions. And, I share a spiritual tool to surround your energy with love, touch your heart center and feel self- nurturing and release excess emotions, so that you can get on with being more productive with your precious life and so you can be more available to support others or those you love.

There are three stages of love in a romantic relationship and they all have possible opportunities for healing so your relationship can be more loving and fulfilling. This podcast lost at the tarot cards suit of cups and how it relates to these three stages of romantic love:  1. In love with the thought of someone loving you (Cards 1 to 5) and how this relates to the myth of Narcissus. 2. Seeing the illusion that you were unlovable – and now what do you do (Cards 6 to 8) 3. And the final Cards 9 and 10 are wish fulfillment or the outcomes of choices made in love. Discover how romantic love is an opportunity to experience your power of choice (or lack of and how to shift your perspective on that!)
