Imagining what you want as if it already exists opens the door to letting it happen.

As I learn to love myself, I recieve the love I desire from others.

We have to get good at being with ourselves before we can hope to be good at being in relationships with others.

Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness.

Through lovingly embracing the full range of our experience- human and divine- we can heal the split that existed between the spirit and the form, in ourselves individually and in the whole world.

This morning take a few minutes to reflect on how you give of yourself to the world. Often we get caught up in the frenzy of buying and giving things. Look at the ways you give appreciation, friendship, energy, time, love, and affection, and give of your own special talents and abilities throughout the year. Acknowledge yourself for having enriched the lives of others. Spend some time loving yourself for the giving light that you are.

When you truly give up trying to be whole through others, you end up receiving what you always wanted from others.
