SE #50: Embracing Self-Love

As Valentine’s Day approaches—complete with an atmosphere overflowing with romantic notions of love and affection for others—most people overlook a fundamental aspect of love that seems to disappear into the background—Self-Love. Somehow, the idea of Self-Love has been conflated with selfishness and self-absorption—in other words, it has somehow become narcissistic to love oneself!

Well, in this episode of Soul Empowerment, we invite you to consider turning the spotlight inward; we encourage you to celebrate the most important relationship you’ll ever have—the one with yourself.

Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus suggested to us: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” In fact, he described this as the second most important commandment in the Law. The question for us today is, “What did Jesus really mean by this?” What does it mean for you, right here, right now?

Self-Love invites us to accept, appreciate and respect ourselves. It teaches us to honor our own needs, not in place of, but in addition to the needs of others. It teaches us to set healthy boundaries and to respect the boundaries of others. It invites us to forgive our own mistakes and to forgive the mistakes of others.

Perhaps Jesus’ famous admonition is a reminder that we are indeed All One, and you can only love others as deeply as you love yourself. What might be possible if each of us could embrace Self-Love? What impact might that have on humanity?

Join the Soul Empowerment team for this month’s episode as we explore the relevance and importance of Self-Love. Here’s a little preview of what we have in store for you:

* A Love Meditation
* Acts of Self-Love
* Dispelling Some Myths

As you navigate the sea of Valentine’s Day celebrations, remember that the most enduring and fulfilling love story begins with yourself. Embrace the journey of self-love, acknowledging your worth, practicing self-compassion, setting healthy boundaries, and engaging in activities that bring you joy. Nurture the relationship with yourself, and pave the way for a love that is unshakeable, enduring, and truly transformative.
