About The Practice of Self-Love

Dearest Tourist and Travelers:

About self-love and self-appreciation... When I help people co-create their personal betterment, I always talk to them about the art of the practice of self-love and self-appreciation. Some of them have said to me, "what do you mean by self-love, I am not sure what that is." Self-love is to do good things for you; things that are going to help you, keep you well and free, help you progress, never hurt you, choosing things that feel good. Our essence is pure positive love, a kind of energy that co-creates, inspires and multiplies love. Yes, this is our major and most important quality or life purpose, we can give birth, intentionally, to the energy of love. How do we give birth to energy? We are energy, we transmit and receive energy at all times. The way we transmit energy is by the thoughts we choose to think. Therefore, the way we choose to view ourselves, the opinion of "self" can be empowering (self-love) or disempowering (low self-esteem). Why is this so important? Because we live IN the energy that we choose to co-create with our thoughts. When we don't like or appreciate our "self" we choose to be away from our natural kind of essence or energy. We are pure love. The sames happens when we don't offer appreciation for others or when we choose to focus our attention, behavior and emotions on themes away from love. For example; rejection of self or others, anger, feelings of not being good enough, negative judgments toward self or others, etc. Am I saying that you have to like everyone and or everything about you? I am saying that love loves and when your focus shifts away from love, more toward the "negative aspects" of self, others, circumstances or events, you energy shifts too and we become what we focus on. Yes, I am talking about the practice of unconditional love. We love unconditionally because we are beings of love and love loves. We don't love self or others as a result of a (+) or (-) we assign to self or to others. Why? Because love is INCLUSIVE. Everything is love. Everyone. Life is love. All energies are love. There isn't a kind of energy in the Universe that isn't grounded IN love, however, all energies choose their INTENTION. Meaning, all energies are made of love and then there is a choice (FREEDOM), what that energy is going to be or do. There is no love without freedom. Each intention has a purpose. Without a diversity of intentions we couldn't learn what works and what doesn't to expand our intentions. Everything that we can named "bad" has a purpose, to offer an example so we can compare and desire better. Desire, this word is very powerful. Why? Because out of "desire" comes life. Have you noticed that when we lack of desire we end our lives? A desire is a "motive", a strong impulse. A desire IN love is a life force. Loves celebrates diversity and accepts it because it helps expand itself. When we observe things we don't like, we give birth to the energy of the things we like... we ask for the improvement of them. Each one of us like different things. If all beings were alike we will not be able to expand. As a human family, we need diversity to evolve, individually and collectively. We are Spiritual Human Beings Evolving. So loves accepts, it is inclusive. Love doesn't change. Love doesn't demand or impose, otherwise we will be pointing to and end. However, love "knows" that only love is power-full in its own INTEGRITY OF INTENTION. No other energy equals to the essence of love. Love is life IN pure joy. YOU ARE THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. THE ONE YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH. Our lives have no beginnings and no endings... only a continuation. We already "know love" because we have evolved it and experienced it before and now. We can co-create love. Love comes from withing you. It is expressed in our actions, thoughts, conversations, activities, gestures, readings, writings, choices of words... Do it consciously and you will notice subtle changes IN your life, within and around you. Choose to be love and you will find yourself expressing love in all you do. We are the love we are looking for. Do you know your-self? Who you are? or Do you know yourself through the eyes, ears and words of others? Exercise: Look at your-self in the mirror, study yourself. You may notice that your nose is too large or your mouth too small... but go beyond these things, there is so much more within. No one looks like you. No other being thinks and experiences life exactly like you, feel the way you do. You are an immense wonder-full world. You are special, unique. Keep looking at your eyes and lose yourself in YOU. Connect with YOU unique intention, your essence, who you really are. Love it. Evolve it. Desire it. YOU are your best "motive". Be passionate about YOU. You don't like it... desire it and evolve it, intentionally and IN love. That's how love loves. Practice the art of self-love. Love and light! Katherine
