How To Love In Freedom (No, It's NOT Hard!)
Love and freedom seem to be mutually exclusive, but they're not. You can love in freedom and I'll teach you how by:
- Showing the difference between love and attachment.
- Helping you let go of attachment.
- Describing exactly what "freedom" means.

A Buddhist monk once said to me, 'it's all very simple, not always easy, but very simple.'
My mum always said to me we dont really "own" anything as everything is only on loan to us..she was a wise lady 🙏

You pass it on to the next generation 🤣 Love it 2... everything is borrowed... that's why when I die, annoying my body in oil, and wrap me in a cloth. No clothes nothing. Those can go to someone who needs it more... unless my daughter wants them🤣🤣

I just met my twin flame and it's a lot different than I thought. I feel my heart flutter around him. Only borrowed. Thank you for your help and advice.
This is my ultimate downfall. I get jealous easily and can get really possesive at times and made me cry seeing this video because I know I need to change to better my relationships not only romantic ones but other forms of relationships in my life
Wholeness. Wholeness is freedom, and freedom is love.
We own nothing nor no one. We are all love and the more love we emit unconditionally, it is then returned tenfold and passed on tenfold. Peace and love to everyone ❤️

I Love You
Loving with attachments was hard for me to understand. I needed to make sense of it through my own personal experiences in order for it to resonate with me. Now I know I'm still learning but so far I have found that when I love with attachment I find myself feeling lots of anxiety, restlessness and frustration and I find my thinking and decision making to also be more fear based.

If you have attachment then it is about "you". Something inside you which needs your own attention to get it fixed. If you feel jealousy just observe it. Is being in love means you can have jealousy/ possessiveness/attachment? For love to express fully between the two these aspects should not be there between both of you. Love flow fully & blissfully when we don't allow these things interfere in our life.
My twin flame research led me to your videos. I could never understand why being jealous felt secondarily. I now understand because my ego ruled every single thought and emotion.
I love how when you look at things (and people) as "borrowed" you see them differently. The positives shine and the negatives melt away. Thank-you for this. What a fabulous way to see 😊
Met my twin last year, which filled a life long void in myself that I didn't even know I had. There was attachment at first, but now it's turned unconditional...even though I get upset if she doesn't make me a priority 100% of the time. I know I'm unreasonable and the emotion is anger, but I'm aware of the emotion and working on it. I think it's a trust issue and attachment.
U got me smiling Nothing is mine,,, Everything is borrowed 😂😍 Thank u
I will add love freely with boundaries for in the absence of boundaries the darkness infiltrate. Have a think about it. Property are fenced, danger zone in beaches are fenced, protected forest zones, preservations, vice and light. In these limited examples from a larger perspective, there must be boundaries in that freedom

I wholeheartedly agree with boundaries. I can’t accept an “open” relationship as love. It seems to lack depth and is self serving; warping the meaning of love and using love and freedom as a form to justify pleasure seeking behavior.
I can also say everything is experienced, nothing is actually promised.
thank you for living a resurrected life; being in a state of thus ness with openness, such an inspiration
Beautiful video! You’re so fluid with your delivery. It’s as though you were singing a song! A Love song! 🌞❤️
I think it's really interesting when you talk about wholeness and pure love. I have only felt this once in my life and that was during a period where I decided to devote my life to God. I made the concious choice to be single and only focus on myself and my relationship with God. I suddenly started to see the world around me in exactly the way you are describing. I viewed everything as temporary.. I also practiced being grateful to God and understood I was given everything from Him. I think that one practice is what really allowed me to feel whole. I swear I walked in pure joy every moment of the day and it was the greatest feeling ever. Eventually someone came into my life and we started a romantic relationship. I think without even noticing, I replaced all the joy and wholeness with attachment towards this new guy. My identity was no longer in God, it was about this person now. I believe he is my twin flame. Perhaps God brought him to me to work through all of my issues and to become better in general. It did lead me to my lowest points though. We separated for a few years and are now coming back together. I can't say it's easy, but I think I am at least starting to understand these forces better. Christina, do you think it's possible these practices you talk about...freedom and love, being whole, etc. come from God? Is it possible our brokeness as fallen human beings is made whole through accepting God into our lives and conciously choosing to walk in that light with Him? It can't all be coincidence.

In many ways it takes time to really love and know who you truly are 💖 peace
In terms of what someone might allow... love without expectation, does not mean love without orientation. You are still allowed to have boundaries for a relationship. If a lover would choose infidelity in that space then maybe they are not the lover for you. And that is ok
I have been working through this myself. It is particularly relevant as I am in the midst of unrequited love for someone. It began about six months ago. I realized it is my attachment to a particular outcome with this person that creates the suffering. To avoid this problem each day I let them go to be the person they wish to be. It is hardest when they are upset as my heart goes out to them very strongly and I wish to be there for them. I realize now even that is an attachment idea. An attachment to a belief that I *should* be there to support them. Whoever the person they go to for support is their choice not mine. I feel this lesson is a great lesson for me to learn detachment from outcomes. I am noticing as I write this that I have attachment to seeing her again because it is pleasurable to just see her. Desire again manifesting as seeing her beauty once more and general feelings of well being in her presence. When I exhale it feels good to release the tension of it. Part of love is letting go.
I am so grateful for the algorithm to have brought me to this video. I really did not know 🎉
Listened again after many months, and Christina's advice is so wise and compassionate. I love the mantra which came to back to my mind so easily when she mentioned it: "Nothing is mine; everything is borrowed" -- which rings true to my intuition and is _so helpful_ 😌💜😌💜😌
That is phenomenal! The best i have heard.
I love you laughed..... nothing is mine, everything is borrowed ❤️
Such a powerful topic to wrestle with, as the answer for me was in scripture. My perfect example is with God above. My 15 yr old daughter wanted to spend the weekend with her boyfriend at a Frat house out of town, after 3 days of prayer, I explained why I would not want her to do so, but said that I would not stand in her way, because my perfect example believes in Freewill, so much so that he never interferes with my choices in life. So following his example, I will not interfere with her decision and instead be there for her no matter what. It was a painful decision, but the right one, as fear says, are you crazy? But love says, it will be OK, Trust and Love were proven correct, all was well in the end. Thank you for the reminder.
Wowwww. Thank you for this! It was beautiful! “Wholeness is freedom” you give versus wanting to take.
You have a wonderful and contagious laugh!
Incredibly powerful and life transforming! Unbelievable! Wow! Thank you!!!

"ding ding"💡 nailed it again Christina ! Thank you💫
This video feels like a soft weighted blanket ❤
That is actually happening to me... i love him... but i dont expect anything... i can do anything i want and he can do anything he want too... my priority is just me... but i love him ....
This video made my day! The mantra is on point, I'm going to write it on paper and pin it on a board in my room, so I will remember it first time in the morning. Thank you 🙏🍀
I just found your channel, I'm loving it! So much wisdom it's a gift 😊🙏🏼

Another beautiful and light video. I am a new subscriber and I absolutely love the lightness of your videos. It resonates with my soul 🙏❤️✨
Love it too! We shall not use anything external to make us feel good. ❤️
Thank You for this video. I know this information already, but you have a way that allows me to understand it on a new level. All of your videos convey information on another level. Thank you.
Outstanding explanation.Thankyou
Thank you Christina. Very helpful.
The best way is to live alone, not to have relationships at all. In this way, you avoid all relationship problems. I have made this solution. After some terrible trials, I thought, that I must be insane, if I, again and again, want something that is so painful, so hurtful land only damaging my life, like a relationship. Maybe in this lifetime, I was supposed to live alone and that is my path to peace. I give freedom to everyone now, but also to myself. Love does not need a relationship. I can love anyone and anything without any commitments. Living alone (with cats) is nothing away from me. In general, this life is such a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT that it is just hard to recover from that knowledge. Of course, I wanted to have nice relationships. Everything turned what bad I have done to deserve this hell. I do not even want to try relationships anymore. I got enough. I cannot do it any more.
Love love love this thankyou sooooo much. I needed this on this night so bad.
You are amazing!!! Thank you for all you do!!!🥰🙏❤💜💙💚💛
Thank you Christina!
Your videos are very easy to understand. Thank You!
Christina the idea of the self being an illusion just hit me like a freight train 🚆 !!! Wow I can see it now! Thank you! Just pure undefined consciousness is what we are ... the definitions and personalities are just molds and masks were wearing!

This is the way I think for a long time
Well I have been with my partner for 25 yrs, I have gave him 25 yrs of my life, & I have gave my youth life to the father of my children. I have been trying to let go of him but I keep pulling towards him lol now I know he is a part of my pathway and I will truly get through this because I am all in my heart thank you. You are such a blessing
Wow!! Thank you
One thing my smartass mind thought about, "I own nothing; everything is borrowed" is (and I don't know how it is going to be received but here goes anyway), "I don't know how the credit card companies are going to like that."😮😅 😂❤️ MUCH Love Christina
Love this message....😘
Great job with explaining. I love you! 🙏 Namaste
i love this, thank you christina lopes. - jho
Everything is borrowed ♡♡I love it Thanks ♡
Beautiful. thank you 🙏❤️
Sm times few of our loved ones gets attached to groups, posts etc and consider it belongs only to them. Love the way who believe in oneness and feel that it's ok if same concepts, things, group, posts, places and even people or animals can be liked by many as many of us can have same liking 🤗🥰💃
Nothing is mine every thing is borrowed" Thank you I enjoyed this one a whole bunch, 😭💛
Wow, I love this. This is so practical to someone who is just beginning to awaken. I thinking just practicing this behavior and mantra would help free the true self from the mind.
Another fantastic vidoe.

thanks for the mantra ..
Love is authentic only when it gives freedom. - Osho
On a more serious note, I was extremely jealous and it didn't calm down till I got older. Now the love of my life is in Spirit. I know he knows I'm sorry for that now but what a waste of energy it was. Just saying.....
