February is the month of the year known as the Love month because of Valentine’s Day. For this reason, I would like to dedicate this month to the greatest love of all: “Love thyself”.
If all of us could learn to love ourselves, many of the issues around the world like peace, hunger, and even economics could have been fixed or improved in a way.
Everything starts with the love of yourself. The energy of love is the highest vibration in the scale of emotions as described on page 114 of the book “Ask and is Given”, by Esther and Jerry Hicks (aka. Abraham Hicks). Everything that you desire: the beautiful house, the perfect job or business for you, the lover in your bed, cannot be created and attracted unless you are vibrating in a high level of energy such as love. This love energy is not just the passion, or desire you feel for someone, it is the love that you feel for yourself that you can reflect into your surroundings, and others around you. This is why it makes sense to Love yourself to love others. The famous verse from the Bible: “Love your neighbor as yourself” which Jesus thought was the greatest commandment of all is not possible unless you love yourself first.
If we weren’t taught or did not experience a life of abundant love or where our parents or caregivers did not know how to show love, how can I learn to love myself? First, we all came to this physical realm as loving babies who knew how to love themselves. Along the way, during our experiences with people around us, we pick up wrong ideas, thoughts, and habits that modifier that love for ourselves into other lower emotions in the vibrational scale: Pessimism, doubt, worry, blame, anger, revenge, hatred, jealousy, insecurity, and the lowest vibration fear. The fact that you are asking yourself how to love yourself, is a big step in this process that indicates that you are aware that you are not loving yourself yet. Patience is key, because remember, how long have you been thinking this way, it could take the same time, or it could take less, depending on the dedication and the commitment that you make during this process.
The process is individual to each person and it is a long one but exciting because every so often you will look back and yourself with love and say: “I am not where I am supposed to be but I am not where I used to be”.
