In today's session, we explore the vital practice of self-love, guided by Thich Nhat Hanh's wisdom. He teaches us that loving ourselves is the first step towards loving others and the world around us. Self-love is recognizing and accepting our own worth, caring for our well-being, and forgiving ourselves for our shortcomings. It's about being kind and compassionate towards ourselves, understanding that this is not selfish but essential for our growth and happiness. As we meditate, let's focus on nurturing our spirit, cultivating a loving kindness towards ourselves that we can then extend outward. From Thich Nhat Hanh's "Teachings on Love": "To love oneself is the foundation for loving others. Self-love is not selfish; it is essential. In practicing self-love, we acknowledge our own worth and learn to nurture our own spirit. This is the basis for our capacity to love others truly and deeply." --- 🧘🏻‍♂️Free Discovery Chat for Mindfulness or Spiritual Coaching, Meditation Instruction, or Sound Healing - https://debphelps.com/private-sessions-with-deb/ 🙏🏻Live Classes, Full Meditation Library & Articles - https://peacefulwellness.studio 🤲🏻 Peaceful Journey to Wellness Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/peacefulwellnesssangha 🧘🏻‍♂️Meditation Teacher Training - https://peacefulwellness.institute Deb Phelps - https://debphelps.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/peacefulwellnesswithdeb Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/peacefulwellnesswithdeb 021324
