What it Means to Embody Self-Love by Sarah King

“What do you mean the first time you felt self-love? That’s not right, surely you would have as a kid?”

These were the words of judgement thrown at me as I vulnerably shared about my first experience of embodying self-love, a few years prior.

It made me stop in my tracks… in real life I had always felt weird for not having the effervescent glow of self-love around me. I had always felt like a fake at spiritual events and gatherings… creeping through in my mind… they all know that you have no idea what it’s like, all the intuitives will see right through you! Even to the point of feeling my physical body contract whenever I saw the SELF-LOVE banners posted all over social media….

Unsure of the difference between self-love and self-care, I opted to give myself a gold star for soaking in the divine bubble bath, or a walk at the water. Those things are beautiful, but they didn’t help me embody self-love.

One day, I felt it… just a glimmer and it was enough for me to not give up on myself… During meditation the wings of arch angel Michael wrapped around me… Sarah… This is what self-love feels like, he opened my heart to unconditional compassion, warmth and kindness towards myself, my inner child adoring me.  

I knew from then on that I had never truly held love for myself, but I had a reference point to start shining the light from.

I couldn’t help but reflect on the love that I had been offering in my romantic world…

I couldn’t love myself, this is why I was over giving with my time and energy, changing who I was to be accepted and liked, future tripping- holding onto the hope that, maybe, one day they would love me so I could feel what love was like. The kind of love that was in every romantic comedy… Which must be true for someone otherwise it wouldn’t be written about…

To love another truly, honestly and authentically it starts with loving your SELF.

Turning it all inwards. Stop looking for outside love and stand in the spotlight.

Standing in that spotlight is so daunting for the first time. And the second. And the third. I know.

Remember this as you open your heart to kindness and compassion and connect to the love of your inner child… who adores you right now for no other reason than you are wonderfully perfect… and are you going to tell little you that you are not?

Remember that YOU ARE WORTHY of self-love.

The self-love process travels at different paces for each of us, your journey is not to be measured by another, it’s to be measured by your faith in holding the space for love to grow.

Only once your feel strong here, then begin welcoming in the romantic love. Be aware that the tests and challenges that come will be there to expand and grow your self-love. Embrace it. The romantic comedy love may come or may not. Your SELF-Love- that’s the real story at the end of the day.
