I love you.
I honor you.
I will always take care of you.
This is what I felt and heard come through me.
One morning,
Just recently,
As I placed my hands on my strong beating heart while meditating,
Immediately,
I recognized that these words were not just words to be taken for granted.
These words carry a strong purpose,
A history,
Create a reality,
Reflect a moment in time,
And serve as a strong reminder to my soul.
I repeated them over and over again,
Allowing them to fill up my entire body,
Allowing myself to fully embody them,
Becoming one with them,
Feeling the truth and acceptance of them.
One of the things I know for sure is that we can say these loving words to others around us and forget to say them to ourselves.
We can leave ourselves out in the cold very easily as we create a warm,
Safe,
Sacred haven for others.
We can forget that we need the warmth too and are fully deserving of it.
The warmth keeps us connected to our heart,
Our trueness,
Love,
Our knowingness,
Our desires,
Our passions,
Our ability to love,
Give love,
Receive love.
It affects our focus on what truly matters.
And it reminds us to use and understand the power of our energy.
And this warmth keeps us connected to our source.
When did you forget to love yourself?
When did you begin to believe you are not worthy or enough?
And why?
When did you first feel that loving yourself was not allowed or that it was selfish?
When did you accept that loving yourself should make you feel guilty?
When did you accept you were separate from everyone and this life you are living?
When did you consent to allow others' opinions to penetrate your mind,
Body,
And heart?
Can you see the sorrows of this belief?
When did you forget to honor and follow what you already knew about yourself deep within?
Why did you think it was okay to not love yourself but to only love everyone around you?
Why were you absent from this?
You are a light.
You are an extension of light.
And therefore,
You are allowed to shine.
You know this deep down.
Now you just have to give yourself permission to listen and follow the voice within you,
Which you have stuffed away to move up through the tunnel and roar louder than ever.
Let it be the compass of your life.
Let it energize you from the roots.
As you allow this voice to dictate you,
Follow its instructions to nurture the parts of you that you left out in the cold,
The parts of you that you left behind through judgment,
Through distorted beliefs.
You have been looking at yourself through a mirror that has a crack in it,
Assuming it is not whole,
That there is a defect within.
Even with that crack present,
You are still whole.
That crack is what contributes to your light.
I invite you now to do something with me.
Gently close your eyes.
Take in a few deep inhales and exhales.
And when you're ready,
I want you to hug yourself.
You may feel uncomfortable in doing so.
You may feel you're not worthy to do so.
But please use this moment to create a new opportunity to reach within and bond.
Make sure you touch your heart so you can activate it higher.
Feel how it wants you to remember to love yourself,
To stay in love,
To feel joy.
Take a moment to breathe in this space,
And I want you to observe and feel.
As you continue to wrap your loving arms around you,
Repeat these words.
I love you.
I honor you.
I will always take care of you.
I love you.
I honor you.
I will always take care of you.
I love you.
I honor you.
And I will always take care of you.
Let the tears flow.
Let the old wounds and floods of misconception leave your soul now.
You have carried this burden far too long.
It's time to tread lightly.
It's time to show up without abandon.
When you meet the parts of you that you left behind,
You can feel frozen,
Lonely,
Confused,
Angry.
Feel like you have awakened up into a foreign place which has been in front of you all along.
Things will look different.
Things will feel different.
You may feel like a baby beginning to take its first steps.
But remember,
Security and stability is the ultimate.
Keep walking forward and let your loving light and natural knowingness guide you here on in.
When you begin to give permission to love yourself,
You will begin to feel full and expanded.
You will feel more alive.
Life will move closer to you.
Everything will feel like it is so close to you for you to reach into.
You will begin to feel the oneness of life and your contribution to this life.
You begin to invite life in and step into life rather than being out on the outskirts.
Any mountaintop that you felt you could not climb before will seem reachable.
Any ocean you felt was too long and deep to swim in will embrace you,
Support you as you become one with the flow.
Sinking will become a thing of the past.
Keep conscious of the love within you.
Your life will thank you.
Every day when you wake up and first become conscious of where you are after a restful sleep,
Be sure to say a few loving words to yourself.
Meet yourself lovingly where you are,
No matter what you are caring.
For the more you choose yourself,
The more you'll remember to love yourself wholeheartedly.
And you will begin to let go of the invisible heavy load you have been accumulating and caring.
The more you remember to take these steps,
The more you will stay close to yourself so that no wall can come in front of you.
Let yourself merge with all the parts of you.
Always create space for yourself.
Don't get lost in the crowd.
What you feel about yourself creates a ripple effect.
So sit down and ask yourself consciously,
What do I want to feel more of?
What do I believe?
What am I willing to reframe about myself and my life so I can be in my flow much better?
Don't be afraid to listen to the gentle whispers of your soul.
It has been waiting for you to move in a new direction.
I love you.
I honor you.
I will always take care of you.
I'm sending you so many blessings and so much love from my heart today.
And I want you to remember that you are love at your core.
And where there is love,
There is so much power.
Thank you for meditating with me.
Love,
Karen.
