Security to different people
means different things. Ever since the evolution of man, we have sought the
path of nature, religion, energy whatever that deemed fit to us. We have named
Gods, worshipped them, made sacrifices, all in the hope that the divinity would
guide us in the right path. We felt secure that one day we would all find our
way back. We would be united to the one true destination of our life.
What if, we told you that
security you are looking for is right there in you?
Sounds surprising, doesn’t it?
Well, it is true! We all have been deceived to believe that there is some
energy from the external which magically transforms our life and guide us in
our right path. I agree there is energy. But did any of us think where that
energy comes from? IT COMES FROM US. Yes US!
The human spirit is essentially formless intelligent energy, which has become individualized by the splitting of
the supreme energy. This spiritual energy is the source of all living beings:
humans, animals, plants and even minerals. However, the spirits of animals and
plants are not as individualized and advanced as those of humans. In other
words, each human spirit has an expressed individuality and the ability to
think, whilst, animal and plant spirits usually live as collective
consciousnesses. How individual they become depends on the level of each
spirit’s consciousness.
For those of us familiar with the
Law of Attraction would surely know that our energy attracts our reality.
Therefore it is very important for each one of us to harness the energy in the
right way. Imagine the world we would create if we were conscious enough to
channel this energy coming out of body. No more donations, no more blood
sacrifices and no more brainwashed people. But all of us working together to
create a better world!
One of the first steps in
creating this consciousness is Self Love.
Now I am very sure that all of us
have heard, “if you love me, do this” “if you care for me, do that” “if you
have any feelings for me, this is how, you should do it”. Well, do me a favor,
collect all these ideas and throw them into the garbage: what do you want?
Ask yourself.
Take the road trip you always
wanted to do. Soak yourself in a nice Jacuzzi, after a long day. Get that
haircut. Go to the party you wanted to. Have fun.
My point being, dear readers love
yourself.
Remember, “I am
mine, before anyone else’s”
When you love yourself, you glow
from the inside. You attract people who love, respect and appreciate your
energy. Everything starts with and how you feel about yourself. Start feeling
worthy, valuable, deserving of receiving the best life has to offer. Be
magnetic.
Kristin Neff, the pioneer of self-compassion research,
describes it as follows:
“Self-compassion involves treating
yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support you’d show to a
good friend. When faced with difficult life struggles, or confronting
personal mistakes, failures, and inadequacies, self-compassion responds with
kindness rather than harsh self-judgment, recognizing that imperfection is part
of the shared human experience.” (Neff & Dahm, 2015)
Now, next question is, how do we
do it?
There are many ways of self love:
1.
Listen
to your intuition.
Intuition is that voice inside us
telling us what to do. We all have them. They are our instincts and they are
always true to us. It may seem that everything is right, still the voice in our
head is saying, “Don’t do it. It doesn’t have a happy ending.” Trust me. Listen
to this voice. You will be glad you did.
2.
Be
like a child.
A child observes everything,
experiences life to the fullest, because a child does not judge. Imagine when
you were a child, you wanted to do so many things. You were friends with people
merely because you enjoyed their company. Not because they owned a big house
nor had a big bank balance or owned a Balenciaga gown! You played together,
because you enjoyed, you experienced. You embraced a situation for what it is.
But when we grow up, we tend to judge, avoid situation and people, which only
diminishes our consciousness.
3.
Love
yourself physically.
It time you took matters in your
own hand. Give yourself a birthday gift. Take yourself out on a dinner. Buy
yourself a good dress. Go for a walk. Play with animals. Volunteer at camps.
Start gardening. Read a book. Breathe!!! You got it! You are exactly where you
are meant to be!
4.
Meditate.
Now, all of the things I said
above will not lead you the right way, if you do not meditate. This is the
“secret ingredient” which no one will tell you. Meditate and meditate and
meditate, any way you want. There is nothing special that you need in a meditation.
You just need to relax, position yourself comfortable at a corner, preferable
seating position, take some deep breathes, close your eyes and let your mind be
free of thoughts.
There are also various types of
meditation that you can follow like zen meditation, kundalini meditation,
mantra meditation, transcendental meditation and many more.
“ if you learn to create the right
climate in your body, mind and emotion, your health, well being and joy –
everything will be taken care of” – Sadhguru.
STAY BLESSED!
