Falling in Love with Your Self, A Path for Growth
Notes from Genai
Copyright All One Peace 2010
As we work harder, longer hours, have less and less personal time, and become emotionally flattened, many people today are wondering "what is my life purpose?" "Who am I?" and "What makes my life worth living?”
Building inner connection with your inner voice or God-Voice within is the best way to get an answer to these. To know thyself is the goal. Meditation is one path. It takes time and diligence, discipline and focus, but most importantly self-love and patience to develop this innate human ability for inner listening.
To begin your first and only job is to fill yourself up with Love, so it can overflow to all around you. Master Jesus told us to love each other as we love ourselves. He assumed we were loving ourselves. But are we? Do you accept yourself, all your foibles, commitments, failures, and victories without judgment and conditions? Are you the hardest judge of you? When we fall into "shoulds," like "I should have done my taxes by now," or woulds like "I would have been able to...., or guilty "coulds" like "I could have remembered your birthday" we perpetuate guilt, nagging negative beliefs and attitudes of the lost soul.
We fall into judgment and out of connection with All That Is. We fall into separation and out of contact with self love and love of others. When we compete with one another to be on top, rather than celebrating the remarkable and unique abilities of one another, we are falling out of Love with Life. When we forget the divine in our selves, and the divine in the other guy, we fall out of Love with life. This is the daily Fall of Man from the Garden of Eden.
So how do we fall in love with life? How do we reconnect with Nature's web of Love? Three quick thoughts have helped me open my mind, improve abundance, get there and stay there. None of them are easy or happen overnight, but you can become aware of them NOW.
• RECEIVE - This has been my hardest work for the last 23 years! When gifts are offered, I say yes, and thank you! I am willing to receive Love and receive Love abundantly. How often have I refused gifts from others or my spiritual gifts? "I am not ready for them." "No room for that." "Oh no, you don't have to give me that?" or "You mustn't give me something so fine.” Or "You have given me too much!" The gifts we are not ready for are the ones that take us into new arenas and explorations. Let God give to you through all your friends and the friends you haven’t met yet. Their gifts nudge us into new ways of being in the world and inform us about ourselves. Say yes to Life! Gifts invite us to adventure!
• ACT AS IF- Sometimes "acting as if" is the closest I can get to Love. So many times I have acted out of guilt, duty, and obligation, rejecting my heart's joy. I ask myself “If I really loved and cared for myself, what would I do?” Sometimes I have to create distance to the question: "What advice would I give to someone I loved in this situation?" Now, I focus on one thing a day that is just for me. Everyday, before getting out of bed in the morning, I ask myself, "What is the one thing I can do for me today that is loving and kind?"
• BE TRUE to YOUR SELF – When I started on this path, I didn't know who that Self was, nor did I know my own heart and feelings. I was cut off from my self limited to only logic and fearful reactions. Now, I pay attention to the truth of my intuition, feelings, desires, and the Universal Flow of Life. Following my own flow (your inner Being) means I don't override or discount what I feel, sense, or know inside. Everywhere you stand is sacred ground. The same is true for the other guy. This means letting go of time as an enemy--there is never enough time to do all that my creativity and others needs requires. I must stand in trust to let each event unfold according to its own creative timing. This means I need patience. Ouch!
Is this selfish? Yes, you can call it that. I call it self-awareness. I put me, my joys and passions into the equation of my life. To Love your Life takes commitment and willingness to spend time with your self.
I can only share with you what has worked for me. I started with learning energy healing, self foot massage, visualization and toning in the shower. They cost me time, but no money, once I learned them. The tools and classes are inexpensive. I signed up for massage and energy work whenever I could afford it. I learned how to balance my energies at home, then meditation became easier. My path forward became my own, created from within me, based on my best understanding of who I am, what feels true, and what is right for me.
This path of self-awareness is available to all. You CAN put you, your joys and passions into the pattern of your life. You CAN fall in love with Life. You can fall in love with You!
May 2009 bring you joy, happiness, health, abundance,
prosperity and a life rich in meaning. I hope to see you
soon!
Peace to
you,
Genai
