10 Secrets To Self-Love

Welcome to the first day on this journey to the center of your heart. Today, you will learn a meditation to awaken self-love, the most powerful force in the universe. This is the medicine we need to heal any fear or inner conflict. Today, you plant a seed of light for the rest of your life. Look into your divine mirror and realize how far you have come: you are a unique, sacred being, radiating unconditional love.

Before planting a seed, it's important to clean the earth and remove any weeds. Likewise, we must heal resentments and old wounds for us to make new space for loving awareness. In this session, we're going to cleanse our hearts through the power of truth and forgiveness. What are some of the negative patterns that you know you need to heal and transform so you can step deeper into self-love? It's time to look within and do the work.

In this session, we're going to shed light on three concepts that are often confused. Self-esteem is a healthy but limited expression. Narcissism is a selfish form of love. On the opposite side of the spectrum, genuine self-love is a universal and unconditional energy that includes all living beings. We are here to grow and evolve through all these stages into higher forms of love.

Today, we're going to learn how to use our daily language as a powerful vehicle for self-love. Most of us go through our lives on autopilot, repeating a series of unconscious patterns (negativity, gossip, and complaints). Now, we have the opportunity to become more aware and transform those unconscious patterns into a new language of positivity and love.

Our body is a sacred temple, a gift, and a vehicle for love. However, many of us treat our body as if it was an alien machine, filling it with junk food and toxic habits. Today, we'll give your body what it truly deserves: joyful movement and loving nutrition. I challenge you to do a gentle fast for at least 24 hours on pure liquid nutrition. This can be in the form of green juices or just water with lemon and minerals. Choose a form of exercise you enjoy, recharge with new energy, and feel the aliveness!

In this session, we're going to practice self-love in a very specific way: by cleaning and tidying up! Our physical surroundings are an extension of our being. Your room, house, and city are like extensions of your skin. If you think about it, living in a messy space can be an unconscious act of self-hatred. Don't you feel stressed and confused when you are in a dirty and chaotic place? How do you feel, instead, when you are in a clean and serene place? Let's roll up our sleeves, play some kick-ass music, and tidy up!

We are what we repeatedly do. Self-love and happiness are not just actions, but daily habits. In this session, we're going to learn simple yet powerful rituals to start and end our days vibrating in the frequency of love. Smile as soon as you wake up, cultivate vitality, gratitude, and excitement for the day ahead. Keep your awareness centered on your loving heart throughout the day. And before you go to sleep, rejoice on your merits and good deeds. Your life will begin to bloom and perfume everything around you with the scent of love.

As we grow older and become adults, we often forget the power of playfulness and lose the connection with our inner child, with that creative genius that lives inside all of us. What made you happy when you were a child? Was it dancing, painting or just being you? In this session, we're going to reconnect with the inner spark that shines joyfully within your heart. As Picasso famously said, "It took me four years to learn to paint like Raphael. But it took me a lifetime to learn how to paint like a child."

Today, we are getting out of our personal bubble, out of our comfort zone, to share the love we have already cultivated from the inside out. Remember that true self-love is not limited to a personal experience of narcissism or self-esteem, quite the opposite. True love transcends any selfishness to include and inspire others. You have come to this earth to shine like a star and inspire others to do the same. So go out there and light someone up!

Over the last nine days, we have learned practices to cultivate self-love through our physical health, daily language, and positive habits. Although the energy of love is everpresent, it’s also key to connecting with a compelling future vision that propels us into new possibilities. The future is so beautiful and bright, it burns my eyes. Let's end our course with a powerful meditation to appreciate how far we've come and to receive all the blessings that are coming our way.
