How We Can Come Together — Right Now

If you want to be free

In my last article, I shared how we need to move from the fear that many if not most of us are facing, and into a place of love.

Maybe you can’t relate to fear. You might not feel afraid or scared.

Are you feeling frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, or stressed out? We all have experienced this from time to time and with our times now, more likely than not we are having these feelings…

…and these emotions stem from fear. It’s time we start moving into the higher vibration of love.

We can’t correct with the same energy that created what we now have. And what has been created needs some big-time correcting, don’t you think?

From my last article I shared:

Bringing more love in starts with loving yourself first.

This is where I would like to start — give you something to think about. I would like you to take some time to go to that deeper level, go within.

In my next article, I look to share ideas on how to experience self love.

Why start with yourself you might ask? Because all things begin and end with us. If we aren’t able to love ourselves, we don’t feel worthy to step out of our comfort zones, to take risks, to stand up for ourselves.

We let others take the reins, we feel sorry for ourselves, we become the victims in life. Life happens to us.

We live in fear, and might not even realize we are residing there.

“You turn into a person who’s constantly complaining and protesting about everything. But, it’s interesting. Because you don’t ever do anything to solve those situations you complain about. It seems ironic, don’t you know think? What are you waiting for?” I love this excerpt from this article!

Are you enjoying the times we are in right now? What is happening all around us? It seems apparent to me that we can’t continue to live like we are and we can’t depend on someone else to get us out of this.

We have to stop fighting each other and come together through love.

Love creates everything…love puts us in our knowing — fear puts us in doubt.

I was listening to a webinar with Dee Wallace (the actress) who is also a healer. Dee shared a message she heard from Michael Shevack:

The Latin core of Covid means live together…

And she continues, “We haven’t been living together. We’ve been racially, sexually, monetarily separated — and our country has been separated.”

“How does Covid teach us that we want to live together? By making us hungry to be together again.”

“We have to be at peace within ourselves to be in peace with others.”

So let’s get some peace…

…If you are someone who feels like you struggle with self love, as I shared earlier, I want to give you steps on how to move into embracing yourself.

Here are some tips on how to love yourself from Louise Hay:

• Stop all criticism. Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself.
• Be gentle and kind and patient with yourself. Treat yourself as you would someone you really love.
• Be kind to your mind. Self-hatred is only hating your own thoughts.
• Praise yourself. Criticism breaks the inner spirit.
• Support yourself. Find ways, reach out to friends for help if needed.
• Take care of your body. Learn about nutrition. Cherish and revere the temple you live in.
• Mirror work. Look into your own eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself looking into the mirror. Talk to your parents looking into the mirror. Forgive them, too. At least once a day look into the mirror and say: “I love you, I really love you!”

Louise is known for her mirror work. I realize some may not understand how effective and important this work can be. I’ve had members in the WW groups I led to do the work upon my suggestion with life-changing results!

If you struggle with any of these, it’s a great time to stop and ask yourself “Why?” What can you learn about yourself when you go to that deeper level?

Trust me — you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

A few more tips on self love from Karen Noe:

• What do you love now? Do whatever it takes to make you happy right now.
• Meditate to experience peace within. That’s where you will find inner joy.
• Forgive yourself. Beating yourself up about past mistakes? Try to understand why you did what you did.
• Focus on love and the many blessings around you. Look at what’s right instead of what’s wrong.
• Have fun. Always take time throughout the day to just play. (Haven’t I shared that a few times before?)

I’m smiling as I think of my friends in our ILLUMINATION publication and how they understand. We have a community of support in sharing our views and message. I am so grateful for this. We spread our word and our light.

One of our friends Joe Luca wrote an article about happiness. How many of us look outside of ourselves for it? I encourage you to read Joe’s article:
