To be in relationship is to help one another grow and heal the parts of yourselves that can could never access alone.
Love can be painful. To be in love with yourself, or another, is to be vulnerable and courageous. Opening yourself up to life and love, letting go of knowing and controlling it all, I believe, is the purpose of love. To shake us open and the awaken sleeping giants within.
I want to share this inspirational meditation with you today. It is centered around the relationship one has with oneself. Our relationships with others and our ability to fully love others, is directly related to our relationship and ability to love ourselves. This is a zinger.
May you use this to start your day, ground yourself in the middle of your day, or to end your day (depending on where you are in the world š )
Get comfy. Relax. Breath in and out through your nose, bringing your awareness to the natural flow of your breath. Let these words ruminate over your body. Then sit in silence with it, letting it settle. If you find yourself becoming distracted by thoughts, or noises around you simply bring your attention back to your breath and allow your thoughts to simply pass over you.
Because one believes in oneself, one does not try to convince others.
Because one is content with oneself, one does not need others approval.
Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.
We expand and experience a sense of freedom in the moments that we open our hearts to ourselves.
Each time we give ourselves permission to accept who we are, in this very moment, with love and appreciation, the world around us, begins to transform.
Through the stillness of meditation, w begin to clear a path that allows us to connect to our essential truth.
In these quiet moments of clarity, we have the opportunity to choose how we relate to ourselves.
Do we choose to love, accept, and celebrate ourselves?
Self acceptance begins when we expand beyond our thoughts, and embrace ourselves knowing, that the glorys of creation are in our very cells.
That we are made of the same essence as the angels, the stars, and God himself.
From this place, we become one with our miraculous nature and celebrate the wonder of living life as our authentic selves.
As you prepare for your meditation, invite the daily practice of gentle acceptance of yourself.
Drink in these words:
Today, I choose to accept myself. I am grateful for this moment.
Take this affirmation with you today. By consciously accepting yourself and adding gratitude to your day, you will start to witness a shift in your perceptions of yourself, and thus the world around you. Aligning you with your authentic self, and transforming the relationships you have in your life.
May you all have a blessed day. Please check out Deepak Chopra’s Meditation’s for more.

I’m a social butterfly in most situations, but I have been working on the most important relationship I have in my life, which is the one with myself.
Think about it, who are you going to be with FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? Maybe your partner/lover/spouse,
but in the end.
it’s.
only.
you.

Simply put, Are you happy?
Today I am ALL about creating a day FULL of happy VIBRATIONS (I am applying this word today, from a dear friend of mine, because I LOVE it)
I have found myself struggling lately..My INTENSE vibration of love and happiness went hiding for a few days, and I was FRANTIC (not really, but maybe a bit) in trying to get back to my place of overflowing love and happiness.
The more I resisted the fact that my love vibrations had dropped a few levels, the more the feeling of lack stuck around.
As soon as I stopped focusing on the fact that my love vibrations had dropped, AND as soon as I started ACTIVELY cultivating happiness inside me (positive affirmations, going for a walk, looking only at the POSITIVE and most importantly filling myself with GRATITUDE)
Boom. My love cup runneth over.
Love. Be Happy.
Be the love of life
