With great love,
Appreciation and self-love are the most important tools that you could ever nurture. Appreciation of yourself is the closest vibrational match to your Source Energy of anything that we've ever witnessed anywhere in the Universe."

~Abraham-Hicks

I've been really hibernating while integrating all these self-love practices lately. I don't have a social network locally to share with in person, so this group has been wonderful for support.

~P.R., past participant

"Here’s the biggest benefit I’ve experienced in totally befriending my feelings. I feel happy all the time, even when I’m also feeling sad or riding a wave of anger. I love my feelings, and love is big enough to contain everything. So welcoming all my feelings with love allows them to bounce and jostle around like clowns in a VW, creating more vitality, creative flow and juicy connection all the time. That’s what I want for everyone. Are you willing?"

~Katie Hendricks

It seems everything we did today worked for me, and finding that sensation of love is like a welcome feeling of release. However, what I'm also finding is that when I think of someone I know I love, what can sneak in are some surrounding issues of sadness (if the person is gone for example, or unwell, or in the case of my wonderful doggie, quite elderly.. and it feels like a break in the flow of the process. Any input?

I invite you to check out these great posts on our private Discussion Forum:
I'm finding myself using the YES Breath to realign inward in some surprising places... not the usual 'meditative places'. I'll do it when I need it most -- in the car or even in conversation! I'll do it subtly and it really helps. and the other person doesn't even notice.
~P.R.
