Love Thyself: Cacao Ceremony, Slow Yoga and Sound Bath

You must first fully embrace and value your own being before you can truly love and connect with others or the universe at large; it's considered a vital part of achieving alignment with your highest expression.

In the context of the "Law of One" teachings, "love thyself" refers to the fundamental concept of self-acceptance and understanding as an essential element towards spiritual growth.

With regards to the chakras, your anahata, or heart chakra radiates the most brightly when our consciousness honors every aspect of our being: the good, the shadowy, and the in-between. It is in fully embracing our own hearts that we may be a full vessel of love for the world.

We will lovingly explore how we may practice these three points daily:

• Self-awareness (thoughts, emotions and actions)
• Inner harmony (masculine and feminine, or mind/heart coherence)
• Forgiveness (letting go of your inner critic and outer judgement through affirmations)

“The Pathway of Love requires a deep surrender to the qualities of the Divine Feminine. No matter who you are or what your life circumstances, you are on the pathway to love.

When we realise this in our lives it can bring things into focus. It is the most essential thing we are here to remember. All else in your life can fade into the background in the light of this truth.

Ask yourself how you are doing on this pathway, and hold your hand on your chest when you feel the answer inside. Spend some time with your heart, softening the spaces around it and giving yourself the gift of tenderness. You are doing so well.

Just keep reminding yourself of the great lessons – slow down, soften, listen and pay more attention to the essential in your life – the people you love, nature, your body and the wonder of the passing moment.”

-Richard Rudd, Gene Keys
