Dear Ones,
I find self-love to be the most essential in finding true happiness. According to the research, about 80 – 90 % of people don’t love themselves. And so most people are trying to have relationships and engage with the external world from the inner place of not loving themselves, so essentially from a place of lack. But energetically, the place we are coming from determines not only the journey but also the destination.
Most of us haven’t been taught how to love ourselves unconditionally, simply because our parents, teachers and other people around us didn’t know how to love themselves or even that unconditional self-love is something to aspire to. But if you are reading these words you are lucky to live in times where we are awakening to the knowledge that self-love is essential and that we can learn to love ourselves unconditionally, just as we are right now. Each of us can find a way, even perhaps a unique way to self-love. And for many of us this is also one of the themes our soul chose to explore in this lifetime.
Loving ourselves unconditionally is much easier than the mind would ever allow us to believe. The simple reason is that at the very core of who we are, we already ARE unconditional love we are seeking. Yes, our true nature can be temporarily obscured by the clouds of negative beliefs, thoughts and feelings but ultimately it can’t ever be diminished by them.
And once we can see right through those layers covering the breathtaking beauty of who we already are, loving ourselves becomes much easier. We start allowing our true nature to shine through and guide our steps. We realise that the state of love is actually our ultimate and highest identity. We discover that it is not that we have to learn from scratch how to love ourselves. We – and all creation – already are literally made out of unconditional love. So instead of learning to love it is more about allowing the love that we already are to flow freely.
And when we do, we feel the resonance with our true nature and the resonance translates into feeling wonderful. The thoughts of judgement or self-criticism might still appear again like clouds in the sky, but we are no longer bothered by them. We recognise their transient nature and no longer give them power by believing them.
And so, dearest One, if you are inspired allow the Love that you already are flow towards yourself and everyone around you and see the magic unfold!
I look forward to meditating with you.
Lots of love,
Jana xx
