1-Day Experience Self-Love (Based on the film ‘LOVE HEALS’)

Why is self-love so hard?

 Maybe a friend asked you when you were going through a rough patch? Or maybe the thought of doing something for yourself makes you feel selfish?

 We hear it all the time, but most of us really don’t know how to do it. And then, even if we succeed at demonstrating an inkling of self-love toward ourselves, we have difficulty sustaining it. We may even sabotage it. It’s a vicious cycle. 

 Most people have never had any real example in their lives that demonstrated to them how to truly love themselves. Loving yourself doesn’t mean that things won’t happen. It’s not a recipe for an eternally painless existence, and besides what would be the fun in that? We all love a little drama or challenge sometimes. Let’s face it, even the most disciplined spiritual seeker has trouble with this, at times. 

 Now, I'm not just harping on this subject to give a little rant. I want to share real ways to practice communicating love to yourself. To understand how your brain knows that you are loving you instinctually let’s talk babies. They are wired for attention and affection, which their brains translate as love. Just because you have a bigger body now, doesn’t mean this instinctual part of the brain has dissipated, it's just more balanced by other needs as the brain develops into adulthood. 

 So, if you want to love yourself you have to be willing to turn your attention to YOU. This sounds easy, but we live in a culture of distraction! Don’t worry about what’s going on with other people. What is going on with you? This is how love begins, with your attention. You have to give yourself some attention everyday. Think about it, what would happen to the baby if you didn’t give them your undivided attention every single day? 

 Giving yourself attention can look like many things. But, joy is a key ingredient. Whatever you are doing to give yourself attention should make you feel good. Remember the babies? They don’t want attention from their caregivers that makes them feel bad. They want you to make them feel good and validated! Sometimes we become disconnected from our sense of play, so we don’t know what makes us feel good anymore. If you're like this, this is going to take a little investigation and exploration, just like children do, to find out what truly gives you joy. Loving yourself involves attention and play. 

Let us show you how to release all your pain by playing with your body and all of its instinctual capabilities for healing.

WATCH LOVE HEALS

The film is a feature-length documentary about using the ancient wisdom of energy to realize you are your own greatest healer. The film follows the journey of Dana, a chronic pain sufferer, in search of healing. Her partner, Krisanna, is a filmmaker, and together they travel the country to understand how an ancient principle has helped so many heal and to see what’s possible for those experiencing these practices for the first time.

This film is based on the book, “Water Up Fire Down: An Energy Principle for Creating Calmness, Clarity and a Lifetime of Health,” by NY Times best-selling author, Ilchi Lee. Water Up, Fire Down refers to a balanced energy flow in your body. When you have that flow, you enjoy your life with a clear mind, open heart, and more power.

 What does it mean to truly heal? And does this wisdom have the power to change our world? The film seeks to answer these questions.

 Watch anytime after you register for this workshop within 30 days. (Once you begin watching, you have 72 hours to finish watching it.)
