It’s interesting to me that some of the simplest concepts… ones we learned in our pre-school years… are difficult to implement in the adult-world.
The biggest one of all, being self-love.
The other day, I found myself having an insecure moment while I was listening to a musical group that I truly enjoy. A group that I recommend to my clients time and time again, called Beautiful Chorus.
They describe themselves as an all-female vocal ensemble blending sacred traditions with new age sounds. I would expand on this to include their music centers on affirmations, as well as sounds that mirror the chakras and energies within our body.
I recognized in this moment, that depending on who may “pop by” in my imaginary world of random visitors, I might find myself feeling embarrassed to be “caught” listening to this.
And then I thought… “How messed up is that?”
To feel embarrassed for listening to self-affirming music… what an odd little world we live in.
So, yes, self-love seems simple… but it is actually quite complicated.
Someone once told me that due to our conditioning, the adult brain is constantly seeking things that will fulfill us in terms of: peace, time, money, status.
So for the next few days, I will be breaking down the concept of self-love in these ways.
Tomorrow, we will be greeted with PEACE.
