OCTOBER MEETING SELF-LOVE


How often have you ignored your own needs putting others before yourself? Disconnected with your own physical and emotional needs. How can you love another fully if you do not love and honour the being you are closest to - THE SELF? We came together in meditation to re-connect with the divine being inside and indulge in some much deserved self-love!

A guided meditation was enjoyed by all interspersed with some beautiful music from Kirtana, Shania Toll and poetry from Deepak Chopra & Friends. People discussed the thin line between self-love and selfishness. It was agreed that self-love is about nourishing and enriching the self with positive values in the long term and selfishness is self-serving and diminishes the true, inner divine Self.

Bulbul shared how important it is to love and indulge your body as part of self-love. She does this through regular massages, fragrant soaps and "lotions and potions" as she calls them.
