COURSE

I Choose Me First

With Reuben Lowe

I choose to deepen the connection between me and me, with validating affirmations to enhance this. I deserve this. This is for me to gently absorb. I Choose Me First is a meditation affirmations course which focuses on 5 aspects of how I can honor myself. Humans have an amazing capacity to drop into their sense of spirituality. I am choosing to have a little guidance upon the way. This is where these affirmations come in. In this course I will explore 5 different aspects of my experience. Aspects which I can observe, and acknowledge. And its in the acknowledgment, where the beauty comes in. I choose me first. I choose to honor my challenges. I choose to honor myself. I choose to honor my growth. I choose to honor my future self. This is a deeper acknowledgment of me, a wiser, kinder and more compassionate acknowledgment of me. And I don’t have to do anything, but simply allow the affirmations to do their thing. I just allow them to be gently absorbed into my subconscious. Each day follows the same structure, starting with an introduction to settle me in, a simple practice to get grounded, then I get to use these affirmations. I Choose Me First has been made so that I can repeat this course it if resonates with me. It’s also been designed so that I may get something different from it each time I practice. All in the service of honoring myself, my challenges, my growth, and my dear future self. I choose to thank myself for being part of the mindful change that’s going on in the world right now.

This is So powerful ❣️ Thank you Reuben for sharing this profound message to everyone that is willing to listen. I appreciate all of your heart connecting work and also the loving clear concise way you share the important messages and parts of being human. I have put in the work over time and I now live mainly from a place of understanding and love for myself and for others. I choose me first , is the biggest lesson we all need to learn……. And from that comes self acceptance, self care, self love and gratitude for loving and experiencing all of this precious human life with all its ups and downs, learning and growing from each and every experience 🌱 i am proud to be part of the universal change ✨ I am at peace, I am love, I am free 💓🙏🏼🦋

I have for years said to others " take care of you". I haven't been good at doing it for myself, I will be much better in the future. I will revisit this course again as a reminder. Thank you and blessings.

I’ve done nearly 50K of guided meditation on this app over many years. This course was truly so synchronistic with my life, what I’ve been manifesting, how I’ve been growing, and how I’ve been accepting past present and future versions of myself for the interest in growing into my best self. I can’t wait to check out more of your courses, and I really appreciate your incredible message, flow, and words. Thank you ❤️🙏🔥 be the change

One of the first times I have ever been able to be gentle with myself, recognize that I am the only one who knows everything that I’ve been through, and I think I might be able to show up for myself and like Persephone stop talking to everyone to try to make them understand what my life has been like. I’m intrigued and hope to follow more of the classes and perhaps repeat this one. Blessings to you for making the time to help me begin to cherish myself rather than look to be cherished by others.

Extremely good and most definitely I'll listen this course again. It woke up something inside of me that it was dormant or maybe ignored. Thank you!
