Those Natural Things - love

A Time For Self Love

I want love to be in the air. I love love. I love the idea of love: how it might feel, the energy it takes on, the images of what it might be. I love being curious about what others feel about love & how it shows up for them. The bigness of it, the warmth, the glow, the absolute mystery of it. I am struck by the absence of love, when it disappears completely leaving only a void, a sort of shadowy thing of something that was once here. 

Love is complex. We have so many ways of defining it & owning it. My favorite definition of love to date comes from Bell Hooks (via M. Scott Peck) in her book, All About Love.  From Peck, love is defined as “the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.” Looking at this definition, to me, love becomes a way to not only support expansion into the authentic, but an intention to do so for self &/or other. 

For the month of February, I’d like to take this definition & create a space where it can be embodied & more deeply reflected upon. 

So! I will be offering a free Monday morning meditation @ 8:30am PST for the month of February.  We will meet for 15mins via zoom. I will offer a guided meditation on self love. You will have time to settle in & then drop into a meditation that I will lead you through. I will also create space for you to journal about your experience. 

I hope you will join me in exploring the landscape of self-love with the intention of bringing you into a space of even greater spiritual growth.
