How to Love Yourself

I'm sure you've heard this statement a lot of times : You Need To First Love Yourself. But what does that truly mean?  Well.... loving yourself means learning how to treat yourself like a loving parent would treat his child. When you are an adult, you still have an Inner Child inside of you. These are you emotions, and with these emotions, you have to learn how to respect and how to handle them to properly take care of this inner child.

When you are not aware of your inner child, you live in an adult world like a 3-4 year old child. You feel all alone, afraid of the world, not knowing what to do, where to ask for help, or how to protect yourself. This is a difficult way of being. You always feel afraid, fearful, doubtful, and tired. It's extremely hard trying to survive as a child in a grown up world. You will feel feel angry, afraid , and lost most of the time.

But why is that? Because nobody takes care of that little child inside of you. All these big emotions are attempts from your Inner Child to get your attention. The worst feeling in the world is being unloyal to one's self.

 So....you have to learn how to be a loving parent towards yourself.

What does that mean? First you need to develop an Inner Mother. If you were lucky and had a loving caring mother, you can use her as an example. Otherwise, you need to invent or create this Inner Mother, which is your feminine caring energy. Everytime  you have an emotion, Your inner mother should ask your inner child, " What happened, my baby?" Listen to what your Inner Child has to say. Then go on with the dialogue. Inner Mother says, " Come Here, in my arms! I Love you as you are. I Love you with what you feel." Doing that, the heaviness of the emotions will drop.

You also have to develop your Inner Father, who's there to protect you and act for you in the outside world. Your Inner Father, is your male energy, which enables you to make decisions, to take action, to follow your inner guidance  ( which is located in your inner child, also called intuition) and to manifest your child's desires in the world.

Of course your inner child, mother, and father are all parts of yourself.  It's a model to understand what's happening inside of you and how you can learn to love yourself. Loving yourself is listening to your inner child, taking those emotions seriously, understanding those feelings, and taking action in the desired direction. Loving yourself is having this dialogue with yourself every morning when you open you eyes, every evening when you go to bed, and every time you have an emotion.

Loving yourself is building a strong inner connection with yourself. It is creating your own loving family, within you. Wherever you go, from now on,go with your inner family. YOU are not alone. YOU are loved and protected. You listen to yourself and take care of that precious little child that has been waiting so long to get your attention and love.

This is Inner Healing...... truly loving one’s self!!!
