“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.” – Oscar Wilde
“The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti
With self-love, you make the intention to take charge of your healing journey. You no longer wait for others to come rescue you. You love yourself enough to know that you desire positive changes. You would like to move on. You make the choice for wellness and ultimate happiness.
Self-love has great healing power.

“Maybe it’s not always about trying to fix something that is broken. Maybe it’s about starting over and creating something better.” – Unknown
You are in excruciating pain. Your heart has been broken into a million pieces. As a result, you have been walking around, with a gaping wound. Like a broken recorder, your mind keeps replaying what has recently happened in a mental movie over and over again. It plays one of the following:
– You have been dumped by supposedly “the love of your life”…ouch! Your lover just cited some vague excuse about the two of you being incompatible. You tried to win him or her back but to no avail.

“Learning to love yourself; It is the greatest love of all.” – Lyrics from the song, “The Greatest Love of All”.
On Valentine’s Day, let’s not just celebrate romantic love but love for yourself. Thus, whether or not you have got someone to share a candlelight dinner with, don’t forget to celebrate the person that you are. After all, as the lyrics to the song popularized by Whitney Houston goes, “the greatest love of all” is unconditional love for the self.
To practice unconditional self-love, you must first overcome your psychological challenges. You may have the habit of criticizing yourself. Or you may have the habit of putting your own needs last. Or, you already know that your low self-confidence stems from believing that you are not lovable. In order to experience more love, success and abundance in life, you will need to shift from feeling depressed, miserable and horrible about yourself.

“Release the fear in your mind and reawaken to the love inside your heart.” – Self-Love Secrets: How to Love Yourself Unconditionally
Release the Fear in Your Mind
Fear corrupts the mind like a virus. It lays siege on your thought patterns. It infiltrates insidiously into some of your worst nightmares, causing you to wake up in terror in the middle of the night.
Many people use the words “mind” and “brain” to mean the same thing. Well, they are not. The mind is not the same as your brain.
Just as well, I was helping my children with some science over the weekend. My children learned this from their textbooks: The brain is a biochemical organ in the human body. As I was writing this post, I realized that what I have forgotten to point out to them is the truth that I have discovered outside their books. And so, I hope to share the rest of what I have written in this article later with them.

“Meditation has only one meaning, and that is going beyond the mind and becoming a witness. In your witnessing is the miracle — the whole mystery of life.” – Osho

The duck looks into the pond and contemplates its own reflection.
It also contemplates on the reflection of the fluffy clouds, the woody trees and the soaring birds in the background.
The duck instantly recognizes that it is part of the scenery of a beautiful park.

“It’s a brooding melancholy that haunts me.” – David Guterson
Melancholy gnaws at us in an incessant stream of negative self-talk. We are not happy because of something we perceive about ourselves or our lives. Our unhappiness builds up. After some time, we could also be masked from knowing even what our true issues are really about. We do not feel tip top because “something just does not feel right”.
Back years ago, I did not notice the presence of melancholy because it would usually lurk in the background. It hung like a veil with a dreary undertone. Consequently, I experienced a lethargy that drained me of energy.

“A vision for happiness lays the foundation for a life well-lived in love, peace and harmony.” – Abundance Tapestry
Many of us start the new year with making resolutions. More recently, there is an increasing number who lean towards making inner-directed intentions rather than set externally-driven goals that are forgotten as soon as they have been made. Well, whether you are making intentions, resolutions or goals, I propose having an overall vision for happiness.

You could have hoped to see a sign that would signify the importance of December 21 2012 too. I certainly did myself. A few of my friends reportedly saw double rainbows and golden lights across the sky. Try as hard as I could to convince myself that the cluster of clouds formed to the image of a heart that day, I knew that it would be more a figment of my imagination.
Still, there was no denying that I spent a glorious time in the park for a good part of the day. My intention was to be in a positive vibrational state. In short, I just wanted to be happy. And I was. In the company of my children and husband, we had a lovely time on a picnic mat.

Are you bringing last year’s baggage of frustration, confusion and dissatisfaction into the new year?
Still feeling stuck as ever?
Lost in which way to go?
Chances are if you have ended 2012 still feeling lost, confused and stuck, you will be carrying the same baggage of emotions into the new year.
Let’s look back at what has happened since my last post in December.
So the world did not end in 2012. It is not like you think it would. You prefer to believe that a shift in energies has occurred on the all-important date of Dec 21, 2012, heralding the creation of a new beginning.

The energy signature of planet Earth will shift from one of anger and fear to one of love and acceptance. The old matrix is falling away. The rise of the Golden Age, with a brilliance that illuminates the entire galaxy, dawns. It has been planned for eons. Everything is in perfect timing. The countdown is almost complete.
Ascension date of December 21 falls two days away. We are given the opportunity to shift from the third dimensional reality that is based on fear and darkness to the fifth dimensional reality that is based on love and light. If you have not already made the intention, there is still time to make the decision to shift and therefore, take advantage of the strong energy influx that has already been occurring.
