Feeling the unique qualities and nuances of love that you have always needed is something you can begin creating for yourself. And it helps to understand the developmental stages of the soul. These developmental stages are similar to the stages we go through to be able to walk. You need to be able to roll over in order to crawl; and to crawl in order to hold on to things and take steps. That prepares you to take a few independent steps, which gets you ready to walk on your own. If you skip steps, you are not likely to develop the muscles that empower you to walk! For example, if you long for acknowledgment as an adult in your 20’s to 40’s, that begins in the womb, with feeling deeply wanted by your parents. In today’s world, so many parents are not ready for the children they bring in, so it is fairly common for many of us to feel unwanted. Just like learning to walk, the same is true with the developmental steps of your soul. The challenge many of us face is that we ended up missing several steps. Then as we mature, we feel empty when we try to fulfill a more advanced emotional need. |
