I was recently listening to a discussion on racism and the reasons for it. The number one reason given was fear: Fear of the unknown; Fear of losing power; Fear of losing what little one has. While I can certainly agree with all of these statements, I would like to add another to the mix: Fear that I am not good enough. In my explorations of Self-Love, I discovered and strongly believe many of us are walking around doing everything…..
HOW DO YOU DEFINE SELF-LOVE I was telling someone about the book I had written recently on self-love ( The Heart of the Matter) when they quickly cut me off and said that is the last thing we need. The younger generation is completely self-absorbed. I remember being in my 20’s and hearing that same concern about my generation – we were dubbed the ME generation. Since I was more interested in talking about Self-Love and not about what is wrong with…..
We seem to be getting a lesson in how not to take responsibility. In fact, I would go so far as to say we see a master class in deflecting and projecting every day in our politics. Two techniques used by the negative ego to keep us separated from our authentic power and our inner truth. Part of evolving in consciousness means you must take responsibility for all aspects of your life. You cannot be an empowered conscious person and NOT…..
We are seeing a lot of reprehensible actions and behaviors that have been thriving in the shadows suddenly being forced into the daylight. Whether it is our politicians, our media figures, or our titans of industry, it appears the jig is up. Some feel that everything is falling apart because of this, but I see it slightly differently. I see it as part of our growth and evolution in consciousness. I see it as a good thing – a necessary…..
I am watching the divide happening in our world and the instigators of this divide practicing an ancient but reliable form of control: Divide and Conquer. Now we all know this method of war from school but what about how it is being played out within ourselves? What you see playing in the outer world always is being played out in our inner world as well. How many times have you had a dream that…..
If you are working on moving into Self-Love, start with what you are listening to! We all have inner voices or thoughts constantly flowing through our minds. Much like a radio station or channel we choose to listen to, we choose which voices or thoughts we give our attention to moment by moment. If you are listening to a program that makes you fearful or depressed, most sane people would simply change channels. So why don’t we do that with our…..
How well do you really know yourself? “Living authentically” or “living my best version” has become a catch phrase in our culture. These ideas are no longer relegated to those of us in the new age or new spiritual- thought movements. The concept has gone mainstream. I can’t tell you how many ads I see playing on this idea. Live your best self, BUY this and it will get you there. I hear it often used by people on TV…..
Most of us have heard the saying: Love your neighbors as you love yourself. If we look around, it is pretty clear with all that is going on in the world, that we don’t love our neighbors. So does that mean we don’t love ourselves? I would say YES. When you get down to what it actually means to love yourself, there can be no reasonable answer other than we don’t love ourselves and it is being mirrored…..

You have everything you need inside of you for a successful life. However, you may need to do some digging to unearth it. Just like an archeologist on a dig, you may not be aware of what is underneath the surface till you search for it. It may take some time removing the dirt and debris that has collected while no one was paying attention. It may take tremendous faith to keep digging while those around you have their…..
