All You Need is Love

The Beatles had it right when they sang “All you need is love.” Without love we barely survive, let alone thrive. The type of love we’re talking about is not romantic love, but Universal love. Much bigger than one person, Universal love is an innate connection with all living things. Love includes belonging, acceptance and kindness.

To truly give love and accept love, we need to be able to love ourselves. Loving ourselves includes accepting all aspects of ourselves, including those things we do not like. We are complex beings and there is far more to us than the acceptable face we show in public. Embrace yourself as a whole and bring each part of yourself into the fold.

It is pointless and frustrating when we need to find love from an external source, as it is always subject to change, and causes us to be dependent on someone else for our happiness. Co-dependent love can lead to dysfunctional relationships and expectations that may never be fulfilled.

Instead of looking outward, turn within for a moment and make a list of the things that you like about yourself. It may be something physical, something that you are good at, or even better, something from the essence of who you truly are.

Try this interesting experiment. Look in the mirror. Look yourself in the eye and say (out loud) “I love you”. Add your name as well. Eg. “(name), I really love you”. Can you do it? The first time I tried this, I couldn’t say the words, ran away from the mirror and decided it was a stupid exercise.

Many of us seem to struggle with this lack of self-nurturing. Our society seems to associate self-love with selfishness or arrogance, however this is far from the truth. If you are able to love and accept yourself, you are then able to open your heart to others and see the divine essence within each one of us.

Try this affirmation every day – “I am loved, I am loving, I am loveable, I love and accept myself As I am”

Love Vibrational Mist allows you to love & accept yourself, understanding that you are an important part of the divine universal energy. Love opens the heart chakra & allows connection to all living beings.
