There is a teaching that suggests before we seek to love or serve another, we must first turn inwards and fill up our own cup, nurture our own soul, and love our full Self in all it's raw, unique beauty, such that we can then have something of depth and worth to offer another.
And also, a love poem from us to you 💌
“Sweet soft body that carries my radiant soul,
I do not thank you enough.
I do not enjoy you enough.
I do not cherish you enough.
More and more now I feel an upwelling of gratitude for all you have given me.
For the ability to dance, to laugh, to weep, and to inwardly soar with the beauty of this world.
For three babies, plump and juicy and full of spontaneous joy and curiosity for this miraculous life.
For a heart, that has been broken and mended more than once.
For the delicious taste of love.
For the many chances I have had to make mistakes and then try to learn from them.
Dear Body you are the true companion of my life, the vessel of my wonder, the holder of my felt intrinsic wisdom, the container of my sacred Self.
Forgive me.”
Let us focus on a Love that pours like a fountain from within, seeking inwards to find that deep connection with our true Self and nurturing it's very nature, such that we feel whole, complete, bright and full of compassion to then extend out into the world and all those around us.
Enjoy practicing this mediation as often as you wish ❤️
