LOVE

MENTAL BALANCE

“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha

Love has many faces: love of family, love of a partner, love of country, love of life. And all of these can start with a healthy love of self. Loving myself means treating myself differently today; I do what I need to stay healthy and strong—that’s self-love, and it is the foundation of all other loves in my life.

Love is one of the highest vibrations of energy I can use, a healing energy that has the power to do what no medication, no other behavior, person, place, or thing ever could. By shifting my mind-state into a state of love, I can change the way I feel, think, and act in life, thus changing the response of those around me, my relation to them, and my effect on them and them on me. I can think of myself and of others with love, and love is what I get in return.

I love being alive and in my body, I love my higher power, and that power loves me. With love at the forefront of my mind, I can use that energy to be in this body, be present-centered, and let go of past hurts, wrongs, and pain.
