The Nitty Gritty Of Loving Yourself

What does it mean to love yourself?

As a spiritual teacher and guide, I am deeply involved in the process and the practice of learning how to walk the truth of loving the self. Over the past two decades, I have discovered that most people have a 'conceptual' idea or understanding about self-love, without the 'experiential' knowing that only comes from walking your life as a self-loving person.

In the walk of my life, it is my' experiential' knowledge that supports and validates the teachings I share in my work with people. It gives them true meaning and depth while providing guidance and direction, with footsteps to follow.

In Walking Love In 5th Dimension, Part 8, we look closer at the connection between what it means to love the self and the act of walking Love in our lives. So often, because of our mind's ability to absorb and express a truth, we believe and can convince others that we know what it feels like to experience it. 

When faced with having to show up with more than just our words, we soon realize that all we know is the idea of the experience—not the walk of it. Loving yourself is a feeling expression with roots that go deep and grow beyond the conceptual, mind-oriented understanding. The mind's role is to spark awareness, laying the groundwork for the experience.

We began our WL5D journey with an overview of Love and loving the self. Next, we learned about the importance of loving all of who we are—body, mind, and spirit.

Now, we must look at how to expand our understanding and deepen our embrace of Love as we learn to walk as self-loving beings.
