I enjoyed this exercise, thinking of my daughters made me
feel warm and fuzzy. To love ourselves
can be a difficult task. It took me many
years to love myself, not only to love myself but to accept myself; I feel that
these two things go hand in hand. We
must have love for ourselves to love others, just as we must take care of
ourselves to take care of others. The
second and third part of this exercise helped me immensely, I take in others
feelings, hurt, sadness, and happiness and sometimes putting a bubble around me
to keep out these energies doesn’t always protect me fully, but by learning to
breathe a little more and sending light on the outbreath will be a new way for
me to deal with this type of thing. This
type of exercise would definitely be beneficial to anyone who does it, our
world needs more love, positive energy, and “loving kindness”! If even half of our population made this a
practice, consciousness would grow tenfold.
This in itself is a mental workout, it is a way of training our minds
and by doing exercises like this we grow and flourish, do it for 21 days and
see how you feel! So love, love, love,
and forgive with all you have.
Love on

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI am still working on accepting me and loving myself. I think this class is going to help me and also help with relaxing my mind. This exercise was harder for me. Maybe because the last few days I have been anxious and have been dealing with a lot. I also want to learn more about Reiki, is that what you practice? I know someone who practices it and she said it is hard to block negative energies also. I am glad you can handle it and breathe. I'm not sure I could handle all the negative energy around me.
Hello Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post this week! I agree that we must learn to love ourselves before we truly learn to love another. I have a two year old little girl that is my entire world, and I do everything possible to make her as happy as she can be. Sometimes it is overwhelming to work, be in college, and try to give her all my time and attention, but it makes me happy to see her happy and know that it is because of me. She makes me love myself as well because she makes me realize that I am her world and I feel truly special to be her mommy. I think that if we show compassion and love we will be given the same back to us, and emotions are contagious, so always be positive, loving, and wear a smile that everyone will catch! Great post!
Hello Michelle~
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome that you utulize your love for your girls to enhance the love you feel for yourself. I have found it easier to realize who loves themselves in my personal life since we have started this class. Good blog post
Michelle,
ReplyDeleteHad a good time reading your post and I agree that if more of us did exercises such as this that we would benefit ten fold. I could just feel the problems of the day releasing while focusing on my mother whom was diagnosed with lupus a couple years ago. Taking in her suffering and replacing it with peace and joy was very fulfilling.;
