Day 47 of Cycle 3, Journey 1, Epoch 1 of Aum Love Now
Danny Skyfeather, meeting this moment with you, here and now, in the name of love.
Today I'm writing about self love. During Covid I wrote a book called The Power of Unconditional Self Love. At the time, I poured my heart and soul into that book and dedicated my mind and body to practicing it. However, as time goes on, now looking back, I can see that it was a gorge fest of words. Too many damn words.
I love you, Danny, but boy can you unleash the word salad when you want to.
So what I've done now is condense that 192 page book to 36 pages. There is no longer any filler, backstories, daily journals, overly wordy and repetitive descriptions of methods and meditations, overly wordy affirmations and statements of self love. All of it is condensed into 12 powerful encased statements of truth.
The entire book is nothing but the core material from beginning to end. The book itself, is less than a book and more of an actual experience of loving yourself energetically.
Although I have come a long way since 2020, still, it hurts when I love myself.
So I used this type of litmus test when writing and developing the encased statements of truth: Does it hurt when I repeat them? Does my heart, mind and inner being feel tender, hurt and rebellious when reading the words?
If so, I keep it as is.
Sometimes love hurts in the beginning.
Each statement is simplified, refined, and condensed to purest expression. The whole book can be processed in as little as three minutes or less. The practice is to come back every day and repeat. Then notice how your life begins to shift and heal over time.
There's no promises or guarantees as to what you will get out of this experience. I do not fully understand it myself but I'm practicing it and beginning to see results. The goal is for self love, healing, compassion and presence to become automatic, natural, and ever-expanding.
I believe that self love and self-healing to be an integral part of this grand and beautiful journey of Aum Love Now.
Here is a link to get the book.
It costs $12.
A word of caution, and maybe caution is not the right word here, nevertheless: be gentle with yourself.
It can be very intense can feel even brutal at times.
So give yourself permission to take a day, afternoon, or evening off. Relax, take a bath, take care of yourself. Come back to it in a day or so. Give yourself time to process.
Don't push yourself, and at the same time, nurture and nudge yourself forward, if that makes any sense at all.
