Open the Floodgates

Open the floodgates to allow the love, gratitude, appreciation, kindness, and warmth to come into our heart and soul.  The path towards self-realization is first and foremost about love and appreciation of ourselves.  We hear this often.  But what on Earth does that mean in a practical sense?  How do I begin to love myself? How do I accept myself completely as I am right at this moment? Where’s the manual to follow for step-by-step instructions?

Maybe we need to open ourselves up completely without barriers to receive all of the love and gratitude that so many others are offering to us.  How often do we deflect compliments, words of praise, and thanks? Love is everywhere, we simply need to open our eyes, and become aware.

 We could fully invite, allow, and absorb this form of love into our body, mind, and soul.  Feel the flow into our bodies. Feel the warmth, and the comfort. Release the tension from blocking all the words of thanks and kindness.  This is our first step towards self-love; when we allow the love from others into our hearts, we strengthen our own hearts so we may begin to love ourselves unconditionally. All ways, always
