Self-Love is Healing

In times of conflict… how do you decide what to do next?

If you are feeling pulled by all the different arguments and points of view firing at you — how do you decide who to listen to?

What side to take?

What voice to listen to, to find the clarity and peace you seek?

How do you care for yourself, pick yourself up and be the beacon of light you aspire to be?

In the spirit of friendship, here’s a simple mindfulness poem to remind you of your innate rising sun, soothe your fears and trust the silent voice within your heart.

I invite you to take a few moments to press pause, grab a cuppa tea, and allow the essence of Self-love is Healing to still your mind, open your heart and see life through the eyes of self-love, and love for others.

Self Love Is Healing

It is time for healing.

Time to release the pain and go within.

It is time to travel beyond the physical sphere of time and acknowledge how far you have come.

It is time to believe and live from a space of intentional goodwill, love, kindness and deep respect for each other.

It is time to restore the inner calm and return home to living a life aligned with whom you are.

No more playing small.

No more hiding away.

No more denying your pain and living with shame.

No, dear sister-friend, this is your time.

This is the time you take back your power, reclaim your inner lioness, and take the world by storm.

Time to listen and honour the quiet voice inside.

Time to put aside the differences — and heal.

Intergenerational. International. Inter-county — it’s all the same.

This is our time to heal.

To move forward as one.

Many voices.

One heartbeat.

One vision for world peace and unity.

And then, to connect deeper with the inner peace and clarity you seek, take a few more moments to notice how the poem made you feel, what thoughts, emotions and sensations surfaced.

Acknowledge them all.

Take what elevates you and leave the rest.

Then breathe and make a commitment to strengthen your core and carry on.

“Together we are strong. Together we hold the candle of hope in our hands.”
