What is your relationship with yourself like? How do you talk to yourself deep down? Where can you soften with yourself and where do you need to be more firm? What do you believe within how life is and what is possible? Where can you make a small shift in awareness to allow in more love and trust?
You are precious. You are the only one of you there is. You are an inseparable part of the universe. You are worthy of kindness and understanding. You are beautiful. Your heart is pure gold. You are the divine made into form. You deserve to be protected and defended. You are allowed to be here to learn and to grow. Your being here enriches the earth. Be kind to yourself. Support yourself. Use your experiences to explore and learn and expand your sense of self and your way of being in the world. Let yourself make mistakes and give yourself forgiveness. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself. Look after your body. Trust yourself and your unique journey. Show others that it’s ok to be human with human limitations. Let yourself feel. Care about how you feel. Care about letting yourself be loved. Love will never leave you as it is the essence of who you are. Be yourself. You are precious. I love you.
Some days are just plain hard. Some weeks and months are tough. Yes be kind and acknowledge the difficulty and the human challenge, and also, be alert to the balance within you, where the tune can turn sour and rank.
Keep a close watch on your mind’s (often unconscious/semi-conscious) attitude to life. How we respond in our mind, the thoughts we ride on and entertain bring with them a host of feelings and more experiences to back them up!
At the end of the day, are you a victim or are you the Master?
When we can be in deep solitude without fear or resistance or the need for distraction, we can know we have done a lot of healing.
In the wide openness of conscious solitude, we come to experience the truth of the interconnectedness of everything and the one consciousness that expresses itself in myriad forms. We can paradoxically be alone and yet a part of everything at the same time; individual and yet not separate. Whole. This is our heart, this is the reality of love. This is who we are.
Fears arise. Observe. Create space inside to check in, to identify, to inquire. Are they founded or are they self generated? Is there actual reality inside them? Or is the mind projecting a distortion.
Of course if there is reality: lack of safety, abuse, dishonesty etc, then remove yourself. But where this is not the case, endeavour to stay conscious to your mind’s behaviour.
Allow yourself to stay open to life, to love, to goodness and trust. To knowing of abundance and peace. We all want these same things.
What we focus on grows. Focus on the love, the trust, the connectedness, the silent presence. Here we are always home, safe, loving and oh so so loved ❤️
We need to learn to allow all sides of our experience. When we can be with the hard stuff without judgement, without resistance, we have more freedom. When we can enjoy the good stuff without grasping and holding, we are more free. Life keeps moving.
Love is not a concept. It is a way of being, an action, a connection inside that moves us to express ourselves from the truth of who we are. When we move from love and are moved by love, we are home.
We are much more than any thought we have about ourselves. We exist whether thinking is happening or not. We can observe our thoughts, therefore any idea we have about who we are, we are here before it.
