Whole-ly Lovable

Often I get little snippets of information echoing in my brain. Lately it's been hold everyone- including yourself- in the highest light imaginable. I don't know when I started tuning into it, but I do know once I started thinking about it I started to encounter written words that reiterated that concept to me from several different sources and then practice opportunities began to present themselves.

You have to love and admire the process!

So what does it mean to hold everyone in the highest light possible, including self? Well, for me it manifests itself as giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. I find there is a space between me and the situation in which I can navigate myself into and choose to not take it personal, get my feelings hurt, or respond angrily. (For the record: living in partnership is like class time, most of the time!)

Then there's me. Why is it easier to always look for the bright side of a person or a situation but when it's ourselves, we easily fall into criticism, judgement and use ridiculous standards that no one holds us to? (Though I bet if you listen very closely to the voices in your head you'll find that many of them belong to someone else: a cold grandmother, distant father, or some other adult figure that didn't have it together in your formative years.)

Again and again I meet with clients and the subject of choosing to self mother and nurture comes up. No one is going to do it for us, and for many of us, it was NEVER done. The wounds go deep, and deeper yet is the subconscious ramifications of what it means to have grown up with out a healthy model of what it looks like to love yourself, fabulous and flaws and all.

This is the topic of many books, but for today consider it a little message that you needed to connect to.Hold everyone- including yourself- in the highest light possible. You are whole-ly lovable, as is, right where you are, and always have been.

Much love to your on your journey!
