HOW TO BE
Self-love is a wholly unselfish act; it enables you to live in a conscious state of love, providing an abundance to give others.
Use these two practices to get to know yourself and allow acceptance and love to permeate your being. Proclaiming yourself is a gift, not something to shy away from. There is intrinsic wisdom inside each person that’s perfectly aligned to your authentic self.
Step Inside
* Find a quiet place to sit where you feel peaceful and won’t be disturbed.
*Close your eyes and picture a staircase running from the top of your head to your toes.
*Stand on the top of the stairs and take a deep breath as you take in the view from inside. Look at your thoughts – are they attached to an emotion? Explore each one and check if the
thought is true, if it is your own or put there by someone else. Check each emotion as it comes up and discover the origins of each.
*Slowly begin to descend the staircase and look around in wonder at the incredible being that is you. Wriggle a finger and try to see what happens in your brain, muscles, sinews as you do that.
*Keep exploring, look at aspects of your body, look at areas that might be sore or that you aren’t too happy with. Sit within those spaces and find out what’s bothering you. Smile and place love in there.
*Spend time moving up and down inside. Explore.
*Before you leave, gather up the things bothering you – grief, sadness, anger, pain. Put them in your arms.
“Find the love you seek, by first finding the love within yourself. Learn to rest in that place within you that is your true home.” Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Step Outside
*Find a quiet space outside where you can see the expanse of the sky. It doesn’t matter if it’s day or night.
*Take all your gathered emotions and burdens. Open your arms and offer them to the universe. Let go.
*Stand with your arms up and open, close your eyes. Smile.
*Feel your burdens leaving your arms and a universe of love and acceptance entering your being.
