Hello,
Welcome.
Om Bytes.
This meditation is entitled,
Self Love,
World Love.
When we love the self,
We may love the world and the world loves back.
Come to your comfortable seat.
Press down and lift your heart high and then drop into complete relaxation.
I'll sound the cymbal to begin and to conclude.
Maybe this notion of self love conjures up tie dye t-shirts and daisy crowns.
Self love is a powerful motivator.
It's a powerful healer throughout each and every cell in our body.
Our world is filled with billions and trillions of dollars poured into marketing so that self love can be served up in a glass,
Bought off the shelf,
Discovered on a deserted island.
Self love is the present that lies within you anywhere,
Anytime,
For free,
Effortlessly.
It's there we just simply must fan the flames,
Light it up and let it take over.
When we practice self love and realize it,
This self actualization,
The highest level of Maslow's hierarchy radiates out into the world extending tentacles into all beings and practices and ways of living our life.
Doesn't mean we're not prickly sometimes and maybe lash out or express with a little more fierce tongue.
We are still human.
Get right back on the cushion and meditate.
Becoming one with self harmonizing,
The interior with the exterior.
The beauty of self love is it waits for nothing.
It doesn't need to wait until this is perfect or someday when if thens.
Self love is now.
No excuses,
No obstacles.
It is available and accessible and must be pumped like a muscle.
Self harmonization is the muscle.
Sitting in quietude,
Allowing your cells to expand,
Receive life,
Get fueled up.
So you may drop into a sense of contentedness,
Enriching each and every cell in your body.
And you'll soon begin to notice how self love impacts your bank balance,
Self love impacts your waistline,
Self love impacts how you sleep at night.
Self love impacts everything coming in and everything going out.
Then we are aligned with it and it takes practice.
What's the opposite of self love?
Self loathing,
Pity,
Hatred,
Anger,
Harm.
Yeah,
Hurt people hurt.
Take responsibility for your own self love and the world cannot wrong you.
It's not easy but it's necessary.
And the good news is you are able,
Absolutely able.
Shutting out the noise of societal criticisms.
Softening cradle,
Holding the noise of inner critic.
Choosing above all honor and love thyself.
Love is an uplifting emotion giving us energy,
Life affirming.
Self loathing is a depressive negative emotion,
Tapping our energy,
Draining us.
So practice filling up,
Rejuvenating,
Replenishing each and every day.
This world demands of us to love ourselves so that we may love another.
Without expectation,
Without demands.
Without draining another,
Fill up with all that you need and release all that does not serve you.
Soften across the heart space,
Physically accepting energy to pour in,
Light up,
Open up,
Expand you safely and easily in your own way and time.
There's really no option,
Non-negotiable,
No other way but starting within and it works I promise.
And take a big belly breath in,
Drawing in all that you need to fan the flames of your inner light.
And releasing out all the black toxic carbon,
Let it go.
Namaste.
