The purest act of self-love

Day 6 - Advent calendar

My dearest beautiful stranger, 

I wish that today, against all odds, you would choose yourself. That you would choose your dreams, your goals, that you would give space to those desires, those urges that have remained hidden for far too long in cardboard boxes, those intentions jotted down hastily on pieces of napkins between appointments. 

I wish to see you take yourself by the hand and detach yourself from relationships that drain your vital energy, something you weren't even aware of. Even if saying goodbye to these people breaks your heart in pieces and drawn you into your mind and your fears, you are capable of making the right choices for yourself. 

You are brave, you deserve to put yourself at the centre of your life and finally move forward with the things that are important to you without fear of intrusion or violation. 

You gave, you carried without realising it, and surely thinking that you were indebted to others because of your lack of self-esteem... 

Rise up, beautiful soul... Let go of the guilt and shame. 

You are seen and supported, much more than you think. 

Forgive yourself and then you will be able to forgive others. You will be able to return non-love into love. You will regain strength, health and vitality; you will recover those parts of your soul that you gave to others.. 

Look at the treetops and take a deep breath. 

Your future awaits you and is being built now in the present with every step you choose to take in the direction that only you have decided to take. 

You are free, do not let yourself be trapped by your mind and emotional turmoil, remain conscious. 

Choosing your own dreams and aspirations is the most beautiful and powerful act of self-love that one can forge... 

Let us therefore cultivate deep calm and return to a life of balance and union...  

"When one returns to Stillness, the heart blossoms with gratitude for all of life." Richard Rudd, Gene Key 52

To accompany you on this journey and help you find inner balance, Lydia Laschon's ritual is shared below: : 

1. Close your eyes for 10 seconds.

Ask yourself:

‘If I did only one thing today, what would truly lighten my load?’

2. Breathe:

Inhale for 4 seconds – Exhale for 6 seconds (3 times).

3. Option aroma :

1 drop of Copaiba or Balance in your hands..

Breathe slowly..

4. Write down your priority..

And just take the first small step..

And one last question to keep in mind to integrate these words: how often have you put the needs of others before your own? How often have you forgotten yourself, made yourself invisible for whatever reason; for convenience, for fear of reprisals... It doesn't matter. Observe without judging.  

May this journey help you spread your wings and continue on this wonderful road that is your life's path.

With love and light, 

​
