Love Thyself - A Valentine Card for You

Love is the Essence of my Being

Above all clothe yourselves with love which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14.

Since God is love, and God is All-in-All, Love must be the underlying principle of life, and therefore in all. This Life is my life. This Love is me. It is the very essence of my being. Love heals everything, every imperfection of mind or body or environment. Love alone may overcome hatred (Martin Luther KingJr. wrote about this beautifully in Strength to Love), anger, envy and criticism. Where Love is, there is no room for any negative emotion. Love is the Great Adjuster.

I know that Love is harmony, peace and joy. In it all is good, all that is true, all that is beautiful. It is perfect balance, perfect poise. I empty my mind and heart of all but Love. I let Love express in me and through me. I let Love flow out into my world of thought and action. I am Love. The Love in me shines forth as harmony, peace, joy freedom and wisdom. Love binds me to the whole of creation. I find fulfillment through loving. Ernest Holmes

This is from an article in “Science of Mind” magazine titled “Loving Who You Are, The Ultimate Spiritual Practice.” You are a holy vessel, a one-of-a kind creation. The more you love yourself, the more energy you will have to offer our planet. You may think you have been denied opportunities or squandered chances, But, in this present moment, your breath is holy, and streams of creative energy await your cue. Still, you may believe that you are not enough, or don’t have everything it takes. These conventional and habitual beliefs keep you separate from your true nature and the genius, power, and love that you have to give us. That’s why self-love is the ultimate spiritual practice. Tama J. Kieves

The first step to One Love is loving yourself. Oneness is not complete without you. A spiritual practice has to start with loving yourself. Can you embrace and soothe your inner critic with Love? (Love never faileth. 1Cor.13) Be Love(d), Ron Alexander

I am open to the Love of God within me: If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. (1 John 4:12) (and “perfect love casts out fear.”)

I am one with my Beloved: …for the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21

I am filled with the spirit of powerful loving kindness: God did not give me the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7.

Love Begins With Loving Yourself. Sri Bhagavan- check out www.onenessmovementflorida.org

Love all God’s creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God’s light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love. Fyodor Dostoyevsky

For healing wholeness, embrace all of you (yes, even the shadow, egotistical, judgemental parts) with Love, for wholeness includes All. How? Tools: Right hand over heart, repeat “God’s love is right here, right now.” Ho’oponopono Prayer for forgiveness: “I am sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.” Do it for yourself, and it will work for all since we are One. Meditate, silence, hot bath, inspirational music, good loving orgs. (churches, temples, synagogues, etc), support groups, counselors, creative projects, read. How gentle and kind can you be to yourself? Be a human being, not a human doing- relax! Massages, reiki, Oneness Blessing Givers (Deekshas), exercise, fresh air, healthy food, yoga, mindfulness (awareness in the moment) Think Love! Be Love! You are the One we have been waiting on. May all beings be happy, free and Love(d) , ron alexander
