We may SAY we want love, success, and happiness, but we don't always back up our dreams with self-honoring actions. Without self-love, we have no foundation to uphold or contain love, self-esteem, and true potential. Someone can love you with more heart than you ever imagined, but where will it go if you have no internal mechanism for recognizing pure love? The world can shower you with opportunities, but you will miss the best plums on the tree because you won't think you deserve to reach for them.
The First Step.
After your prayer and meditation, take 10 to 20 minutes every morning to mediate to a piece of music that feels heart-opening to you. Do you like classical, jazz, indie or the sound of the wind and the waves? Have you ever listened to chants? I just found one that is moving and is actually called "Open My Heart", by Ann Hernandez and Ruth Cunningham from the CD HARC: inside chants. Hear more at http://www.myspace.com/anahermusic here you can order the music straight from the artist.
There is a nice christian song "I Exalt Thee / Open the Eyes of My Heart Instrumental Parts by Alfred Publishing
