Healing the Past is a Must Before a New Relationship Has a Chance

With the onset of Valentine's Day, are you feeling left out when you see couples holding hands and your friends receiving cards and flowers?
For many of us, our relationships have been learning experiences... opportunities to reclaim our power and heal karma.
If you want to experience that same heart-felt romance, you must first release any painful memories that are still in your heart. If you are still thinking of your last relationship, or previous relationships along with any residual heartbreak, then that relationship is not over because you are still connected to them. In other words, you are not yet open to have a new relationship because you still have one with the person(s) from the past.
Putting a band-aid on your heart then going in search of someone to fill the void, what some would call rebound, is only a temporary fix and will not heal the underlying pain beneath the wound. Eventually the pain will surface again because your current boy/girlfriend will never be able to meet your expectations, or you may be comparing him/her to the last one.
Only by completely letting go of the past can you make room for manifesting something wonderful and long-lasting in the present.
