I am loved by love itself

“I am loved by love itself.” Maya Angelou.

Read the words.  “I am loved by love itself.”  Pause.

Now say the words out loud. “I am loved by love itself.”

Now close your eyes. Hearing the words, “I am loved by love itself.”

Feel the embrace of eternal love as the words, “I am loved by love itself” flow through you.

Last night I was feeling really sorry for myself. Feeling down because I am not as productive as I would like to be because I have so many demands on me right now. Self imposed demands I must add. Being too hard on myself instead of staying in the flow.

When I read this statement by Maya Angelou I started to breathe again. When I let the words resonate through my soul I could feel my heart swelling with love. My breathing changed. A warmth rushed through me. My eyes watered. My whole being tingled because I realised more than anything that “I am loved by love itself”. And because I am there is nothing outside of my realm of possibility. Nothing that can stop me unless I allow fear to overwhelm me. Blame to confuse me. Chaos to derail me.

But when I step back and think about all that I am, I understand, I am love and love is me. There is nothing more beautiful. More powerful. More connecting . Than love. Love is everything. It is the essence of who we are, how we are created and how we remain connected. Love is free. And is available to us all. So from now on when I’m feeling down I am going to remind myself that “I am loved by love itself” and there is nothing that I can’t do because I am love. And the same is true for you.

Let’s practice being in love with ourselves today. Not in a narcissistic way. But in a pure and unconditional way. And when we do, love will radiate from within us to those we come into contact with and the whole energy will shift, change into something magnificent and wonderful.

I am love and so are you and so are we.

 Here’s to a love filled day today.
