Self-love,

Worth,

Value,

It's something we're all here learning on earth.

Our souls know who we are and they love us,

But we struggle without self-love.

This is an actualization practice for self-love,

Going step-by-step,

Learning about who we are and accepting it as one.

We're going to start to gently close our eyes,

Connecting as always to our superpower,

Our breath,

The breath of life.

It's something that we do that we don't have to think about often.

We don't need to think,

Our breath is just there.

It gives us life,

And so we honor that by taking our right hand and crossing it onto our heart and then crossing over left.

And just breathing into yourself with every inhale and exhale,

Expressing gratitude to be able to do something so miraculous,

So amazing.

Remember,

You don't need to think about it.

You don't need to tell yourself how to breathe.

Your body knows how to breathe on its own.

And so in this meditation,

We are going to learn to love on our own,

Without thinking about it.

We're going to actualize our inner self,

Turn on our heart light,

Accept and remember that we are unconditional love at the core of our being.

This is who we are.

So I ask everyone who is here to take your hands together,

Place them again on your heart,

And take a nice deep breath and think to yourself,

This is who I am.

I am love.

This is a journey of remembering,

You know who you are,

You just forgot.

So we are here to remember it.

We're here to guide ourselves into self love.

So in this powerful energy that we're creating,

Start to see a path in front of you.

With every step that you take on the path,

It's beginning to shine a light.

Each step colorfully lighting up,

Almost like you were stepping on a big,

Giant piano.

And every step that you take illuminates something.

Each step is a word,

A word for you to remember.

The first word is honor.

I honor myself with every step I take.

I honor love by accepting who I am.

I grow stronger in faith when I honor myself.

I peacefully join with the one who is all and accept my love,

My inner worth,

My light.

Each time that we say words,

You can repeat them back in your mind,

Or you can just listen.

Before we move on to each step,

You just take a nice deep breath and really breathe it in.

You can take your hands again to your heart and breathe in those words.

Really feel them within your body.

Feel it in your spirit and in your soul.

I honor my light,

I honor my love.

I honor my light,

I honor my love.

And so we step forward one more step.

We illuminate that step and the word lights up.

And the word is accept.

I accept who I am.

I accept my body as it is.

I accept inner truth.

I accept the path.

I accept my journey.

I accept I chose it.

I accept that I chose every challenge and every step forward to evolve and grow in life in spirit.

I accept the journey because I have chosen it.

And on that last step,

There's a table waiting for you.

And on that table,

There's a contract.

The one you set as a soul before you came here.

Before you came into the body you are now borrowing.

And you wrote certain words.

You wrote yourself a love letter.

Because as spirit,

Soul,

As consciousness,

We are pure love.

So before we come here,

We set a will.

We set a contract,

A blueprint that says,

This is what I will to myself.

I give myself these gifts of life to discover and uncover who I am.

With every step I take,

I honor my journey.

And I accept it has been chosen by myself.

And as we continue further and take more steps,

We go back to the table.

We go back to the will to see what might be on it.

What are some things we're here to learn?

What are we growing in,

Evolving through?

Let's continue on our steps.

First we honored,

Then we accepted.

Let's take that next step together,

Taking a deep,

Deep breath.

And the word on that step is fear.

I honor and accept fear.

Fear,

The journey we are on,

On this planet,

To learn unconditional love through the lens of fear.

To accept and let go of whatever is not love.

And so there will be fear.

There will be doubt.

There will be sorrow.

But we have choice,

The choice of how to move through every fear.

How to move through every doubt or worry.

To honor and accept that fear is part of our journey.

So let's start at the beginning again and take those steps.

I honor and accept fear.

I honor and accept fear.

I honor and accept fear.

And as we move on,

Accepting and honoring that fear is going to be there,

We have a choice to move beyond it.

So we get to that next step beyond fear.

The one that will move you further into actualization and self-love.

Let's take that step together.

Let's take that leap.

And it's a leap into the next word,

Which is love.

The opposite of fear.

Unconditional love.

Who you are.

I am love at the core of my being.

And as you look back,

You see that word,

You see that step,

Fear.

But as you look forward,

You see that table with your will,

Your contract,

Your blueprint on it.

And you're looking back and forth and you're deciding,

Which is truth?

The fear that I honor and accept?

Or the will that I set for what I wanted to create in this life?

What I said I would bring forth in the current body,

Being who I am.

And you stand here and you get choice.

And whatever choice we make,

There's no judgment.

We just get to know that there is choice.

Which do you want to discover further?

Do we want to go backward into fear?

Or do we want to step forth into our will,

Our contract,

Our blueprint?

At the top of everybody's will is the word choice.

As we activate our inner knowing,

As we activate our inner light,

Our inner love,

We get to take a seat at this table where our will and our contract are waiting.

Waiting for us to discover it.

So if you want to go further into self-love,

Take a seat at your table,

Where your contract is sitting,

Waiting for you.

The minute you sit at this table,

You've already activated a part of yourself that's been missing.

You sit here and accept you are more than just a human.

You are a soul.

You're activating your love.

You activate the love that is within you.

You say,

Yes,

I am more.

I honor and accept fear,

Knowing I am love.

I honor and accept fear,

Knowing I am love.

Looking now at the top of the contract,

It has two words on it.

Free will.

And that is choice.

The choice we get to make to go backwards into fear,

Or to stay rooted in this chair,

In our self-worth,

In our value,

In our love of who we truly are.

You get to unroll this will.

Unroll your contract.

All of us have different contracts.

So within your will,

Within your blueprint,

There's different things to be discovered.

And it truly is infinite.

As you unroll it,

You may see it going on and on and on.

At the top of this list,

Underneath the words free will,

Are those items that you have set for this particular life.

We all have the same word.

Love.

We're here to discover love.

Self-love.

And we're here to love others.

Love thy neighbor.

Love thy friends.

Love thy family.

Love the planet.

Love the animals.

Love the plants.

Love the trees.

Love the bugs.

Love the birds.

Love everyone and everything,

Because we are everyone and everything.

Honor.

Accept.

You simply say I am to everything that is on that contract.

And there is another word on everyone's contract,

Underneath the word love.

On this contract,

For those of us on earth,

Is the word patience.

I am patient.

I am willing to be patient.

I am willing to wait for my desires.

Can you activate that within yourself?

Can you activate patience?

I am patient and willing to wait for my desires.

Can you breathe that into yourself?

Breathing in through your lungs.

Taking it nice and slow.

I am patient and willing to wait for my desires.

Some of us get to check patience off our list,

Knowing how to just be.

But most of us are still working on that,

Because it is so top of the list.

And it is something that we will be working on always in this lifetime.

I am patient and willing to wait for my desires.

And next on our list is the word value.

Worthiness.

I am worthy because I exist.

I love and honor and value myself,

Knowing that I am love.

I am worthy because I exist.

Can you say those words out loud,

Right here,

Right now?

Can you think them in your mind?

Of course.

But can you own them?

Wherever you are,

Whether it's busy and crowded,

Or you're simply by yourself,

Say that word worthy.

And speak the words out loud.

I am worthy because I exist.

Not because of anything I am doing,

But because of who I am.

I am worthy because I exist.

Because I am love.

When we activate that knowing within ourselves,

The value becomes inherent within us.

We just say,

I am.

We honor and accept ourselves.

We skip over the fear step and get right into the love.

By simply saying the words,

I am,

And owning your worth.

So on this blueprint,

On this will,

Can you add those words,

I am love?

Can you see yourself writing it down?

Every time we love ourselves,

We activate a piece of ourself that's long been missing,

Long been tied to the ego,

Long been tied to fear.

And all we have to do is say,

I am love.

Write it into your will,

Into your contract.

And in the physical part of your day,

Perhaps writing it in a journal,

Putting it in a painting,

Placing it somewhere to witness and see every day.

I am love.

Encase yourself in a big,

Giant heart,

Absorbing that frequency into your heart,

Filling it with love,

The energy of our source.

You are now feeling what it's like to love and be loved.

And now we come back to that table to see what's on our contract,

Your own personalized will,

Your blueprint.

What are some themes that you're working through that your soul had planned for you?

What desires have you decided on?

Who do you desire to be in this world?

Can you get a glimpse of it in this contract?

Can you look at it with joy and excitement?

Remember,

It's already willed to you.

You gave yourself this gift of choice to be a teacher,

A healer,

A fine art student,

A restaurant owner,

A designer,

A contractor,

A homeowner,

A parent,

A pilot.

Anything coming to mind,

For you,

Is your soul blueprint.

All of us have different things because we have different things to learn,

Different experiences to have.

But if you accept and honor and know that you gave yourself the gift,

Then all of it becomes easier to access.

And so the gift of spirit tonight is to take our will and our contracts with us,

To roll them up into a sacred scroll,

And to bring them back in mind.

And know that you can access them through meditation,

Through mindful practices,

Unrolling them every single time there is resistance.

What is resistance?

It is you separating from the all.

It's you forgetting it exists at the level of the spirit.

And so the source,

Our divine frequency,

The love of which we all are,

Offers this.

So what?

So what if it's not perfect?

So what if you're older?

So what if you're younger?

Anything that's bothering you,

Activate it.

So what?

So what?

So what?

Because you know you are worthy.

You know you are valued.

Because you exist.

When we say the words,

So what?

We activate I am,

Which deactivates everything else.

We return to love.

I am.

I am love.

I am valuable.

I am worthy.

I am capable because it exists for me.

You get to know that it's all part of the journey of the spirit,

Chosen by you.

The you that is love,

The you that is source,

The you that is infinite.

Feel it.

Accept it.

Know it.

The universe is calling you to go further,

To deepen your connection to the infinite source of all.

That which is love.

That which is you.

Therefore,

Self-love exists already.

And just like the breath,

We don't have to think about it.

We just have to know,

I am.

Namaste.
