Download or read book Conscious Self Love written by Jill Blackwell and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the whole purpose of our time on Earth right now is to learn to love ourselves, unconditionally, where we accept ourselves and take care of ourselves, regardless of the parental/societal conditioning we received? What if we are here to learn from the relationship choices we made (that grew out those very early experiences of feeling unworthy). What if we are all here to learn how to leave the conditional love behind and learn to love ourselves unconditionally no matter what? Maybe everyone's life purpose is to learn to master conscious (and unconditional) self-love. Sure there will be jobs you will have and missions to accept if you choose, but most will be related to you learning the one big thing.....to love yourself - unconditionally. Given what has happened in your past, the trauma, abandonment, growing up with narcissists; then picking bad relationship partners as a result, how can we get from point A to Conscious Self-Love? Conscious Self-Love occurs when you practice self-love for yourself despite how others never showed you hot to do it, or how others treated you like you didn't deserve to be loved. This book illuminates problems in how you relate to yourself (which is not your fault) and dismantles them. Too much time has been spent on shining our outsides and we seem to have forgotten the best and really only way to make our outsides shine - from the inside. Reading this book helps you practice conscious self-love, which will transform your world and the worlds of those you love. Practicing conscious self-love may quite possibly end your never-ending search for your "purpose," your never-ending participation in fix-it courses/book/classes, your unending search for answers, you accepting unhealthy relationships and treatment from others that you don't like-and then blaming it on them. Practicing conscious self-love will stop your confusion, answer your life questions, and bring you back to your true and beautiful and loveable authentic self. People who practice conscious self-love are really the only people capable of unconditionally loving others. People who practice conscious self-love are kind to themselves and treat others with kindness. People who practice conscious self-love accept themselves and treat others with acceptance. People who practice conscious self-love forgive themselves and treat others with forgiveness. People who practice conscious self-love take care of their bodies and teach others to do the same. People who practice conscious self-love teach others to love themselves (especially their children). People who practice conscious self-love teach others to take care of themselves and the circle of love, acceptance, forgiveness, and care grows. Sadly, people who don't practice conscious self-love can try to be loving and kind to others, but soon their lack of conscious self-love (manifesting as constant fixing/giving and seeking love from the outside), will cause inner and outer turmoil; creating a cycle of self-hate to be passed down generationally and spill out into our world. Are you ready to get started?!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and find a greater sense of connection with others. Our fear of intimacy—both with others and with ourselves—creates feelings of pain and longing. But these feelings can also awaken in us the desire for freedom and the willingness to take up the spiritual path. In this inspiring book, longtime meditation practitioner and teacher Sharon Salzberg shows how the Buddhist path can help us discover the radiant, joyful heart within each one of us, drawing on Buddhist teachings, wisdom from various traditions, her personal experiences, and guided meditation exercises. With these tools, she teaches how the practice of lovingkindness can illuminate a path to cultivating love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity—the four “heavenly abodes” of traditional Buddhism.

Book excerpt: An Invitation From Gay HendricksI am thrilled and delighted to offer to you the new edition of Learning To Love Yourself. Revisiting and rewriting the book has been a pleasure from beginning to end. With its new elements, the book comes alive in a whole new way.Looking back over more than three decades to the moment of its conception, I can now see how writing this book changed my life in every way.I first wrote it as an act of love, to share an experience that feels as if it's still transforming me in my very cells. It was my hope that telling about the experience could inspire the same profound life-changes in others. The many thousands of letters, emails and spoken appreciations I've received since then let me know that my hope came true.The experience described in the book revealed the living mystery of love to me, allowing me to feel its sweet power for the first time. Because I suddenly knew what real love felt like, I was able to break free of my pattern of painful relationships with women. Ultimately it helped me find my way to Kathlyn, the love of my life and my wife for the past quarter-century.The new edition is ideal for giving to loved ones (including yourself!) who are on the journey to forgiving, accepting and loving themselves. It tells you how I came to an acceptance and unconditional love of even the most difficult-to-love parts of myself.My fondest wish is that you use it for exactly the same purpose, with exactly the same result.

Book excerpt: 'We have to shift from a mindset of shame, which sees anxiety as evidence of brokenness, to a mindset of curiosity, which recognizes that anxiety is evidence of our sensitive heart, our imaginative mind and our soul's desire to grow towards wholeness.' Three million people are thought to suffer from anxiety in the UK, and it is an issue that affects a growing number of people across all ages. For anyone troubled by obsessive thoughts, insomnia and other manifestations of anxiety, counsellor Sheryl Paul offers shelter in the storm. In The Wisdom of Anxiety, Paul reveals that anxiety, like any emotion, is a signal - a clear bodily invitation to heal and renew your trust in your choices, self-image and core values. Weaving together practical exercises with personal stories, Paul offers medication-free approaches for accessing the gifts in different kinds of anxiety, and especially the anxiety summoned by life's transitions, for example a career change, becoming parents or becoming carers for loved ones. Chapters include recognising the symptoms of anxiety, its origins, the myth of 'normal', the expectation of happiness and a timeline of healing that includes exercises for the body and mind. There are also chapters on parenting in an age of anxiety and the vulnerability of connection and relationships.
