Did I love myself today? Newsletter excerpt - blogworthy I think:
Do I love myself a little more after doing ___________________?
It's February. Valentine's Day is upon us. I just want to remind you of that cornerstone teaching of self love- the unconditional kind. How can I love myself a little more today? How can I acknowledge those acts/decisions/thoughts that have come from a place of love, no matter who dished it out, what it looked like, and where it happened? Am I willing to appreciate my existence as a vital part of creation?
So this Valentine's week, here are some ways to give yourself the gift of self love.
1) Hydrate yourself and become more willing. Tell your water you love it and that you are willing to receive love from it.
2) Nourish yourself and replenish. Look at your food as divine, and love it before you eat it. Are you willing to become One with it?
3) Bathe and detoxify. Let the water change your electromagnetic field to help you shift your attitude, and to clean off any physical, mental, emotional, psychic residue that you may have picked up.
4) Breathe. Find the breath that's right for you. Not too fast, not too slow. Just the right amount at just the right tempo. Let that help you find a little more present moment.
5) Breathe. If you're feeling overwhelmed or crowded, try lengthening your exhale, or chant or sing, or just let out a few big sighs. If you're feeling apathetic or lethargic, inhale - pause the breath and feel the light, the nourishment, the act of breathing as an act of self love, then exhale releasing heaviness into the planet (the Earth is fine with heaviness).
And if you need more support, clarification, or repetition on practices around self love, book a private, come to class, and/or check out some of these upcoming events! And even if you've taken them before, remember "repetition, repetition, repetition." They are never the same because we are never the same.
