 During these turbulent times I have returned to a morning self-love practice created by Monique Muro. It's a 30 day journey called Return to Love that takes about 5-7 minutes each morning. I open up the daily email, put in my ears buds and go into the warm and loving space her words create for me. The other day I was listening to day 9, which is 'There is no part of me that is not part of everything else.' As the keys of a piano gently played in the background Monique guided me right where I needed to go: into a space of wholeness. She freed me from not only my own feelings of separation, but the ones that keep rising up around me. Afterwards, I felt so much better that I asked Monique if I could share this on my blog. I am so grateful she agreed! You can play the guided audio below, or if you like, read the meditation to yourself (the words are below the picture). If you enjoyed this and you could use more daily love she is offering the 30 day package of guided meditations, daily mantras, phone wallpapers, inspiring quotes and more for only $27. What I love is that it's calming and uplifting at the same time. I am always so amazed how it gets my energy up, which then uplifts the rest of the day. Go to Returntolove.co to learn more or to buy the program! Take a deep breath. Get comfortable. Today is a blank page. Let's begin. There is no part of me that is not part of everything else. Each soul has its path. Some were meant to step on yours. Others were meant to lift it up. Some were meant to put yours in such misery, that you had to go really, really deep to find your sanity again. But these are the ways love forces us to see it when it's not in plain sight. These are the ways it can wear disguises to see if we're paying attention. This road your on? This magnificent morning? This was your soul's path. Long ago you decided to walk this earth again to learn something, to do something different this time around. That weird cable guy, or the angry boss, or the puppy in the window: they are all our teachers. They were all put on our path for the beautiful realization that we all coexist from a single love source, and to recognize that love source in each other. Seeing each other every day, trees included, is like coming home to a family that's been together for lifetimes. There is no part of you, Melissa, that is not part of everything else. There is no part of you, that is also not part of a caterpillar, inching its way across a twig, or a leaf that falls on the ground before you. We are all experiencing and fulfilling our soul paths together. Gratitude Take a moment to give thanks for all of the wonderful gifts in your life. Be sure to include things you're waiting to show up for you. The fastest way to get what you want is to acknowledge that it's already here. I am thankful for... I am thankful for... I am thankful for... I am thankful for... I am thankful for... until tomorrow... As we end our beautiful start to this day, let's give ourselves a little hug, and forgive yesterday. It's currently on its way to the distant past, and no longer has power over us. Let's lay down our armor, and the weapons we use to defend ourselves, and instead use love as our great protector, forever keeping us safe, and always at the heart of everyone we meet. "Universal energy flows through us whether we're an elevated guru or a sea slug." A big thank you to Monique for allowing me to share her beautiful work here. To learn more or to purchase the series for $27 go to Returntolove.co.
