“Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two, my life flows.” —Nisargadatta Maharaj People who live in the flow of love are love ambassadors.

5 Ways to Invite in Love and Connection
“You have to love yourself because no amount of love from others is enough to fill the yearning that your soul requires from you.” — DodinskyInviting love into our being allows us to experience our sacred connection to others and to humanity as a whole. When we are born, we temporarily forget our divine magnificence; consequently, we spend much of our lives trying to remember who we are.

Stepping Out of the Shadows of Shame
Disconnecting from ourselves early in life is often prompted by feelings of shame. Researcher and author Brené Brown identifies shame as the “intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and, therefore, unworthy of love and belonging.” Throughout our lives, we absorb shame messages, such as, “I’m unlovable,” “I’m not good enough,” or “I’m unworthy of love.” Doubting our worthiness to be loved and not wanting to feel the shame of our lovelessness, we often disconnect from ourselves and others.Wearing this cloak of shame keeps us from knowing the divine essence of who we are and being connected. It makes us feel … [Read more...]
