Self-Love - The only path to Allowing A Perfect Body!
Every time you beat yourself up, you create a vortex of disrespect that only invites disrespect towards you...people cannot help but treat you disrespectfully by the power of the vibration you emit and Law of Attraction fueling it. What we (Abe) are concerned about is that you feel your worthiness. There is no limit to the nonphysical energy. So there are 2 factors: How much are you summoning through your desire to know? And how much are you allowing? And the allowing factor, mostly, not entirely, has to do with you own self-love. In other words, when you are really liking you it feels like there are no limitations to what you can receive! Excerpted from an Abraham-Hicks (Abraham-hicks.com) workshop in Houston, TX on Saturday, January 13, 2001
The more I study the teachings of Abraham, the more I come to realize that all of their messages regardless of subject matter, always comes back to one pivotal point. Self love.
And that self-love is the missing factor so many of us are looking for in our quests to allow our bodies to reach their own place of perfection. It's so easy to look for some action to take, or some action to avoid instead of looking at what is really missing . . . a deep belief in myself, a belief in my creative abilities, and self love as mighty as the love my inner being always has for me.
My inner guidance is designed to assist me in creating whatever life I want to experience. However there is a catch, my inner being loves me deeply and her message is always in tune with her love for me, and the only way I can truly hear that guidance is by being on the same vibration of self love with which she sends it.
If I can't hear my quiet inner voice saying "a banana would feel better than potato chips" it's because I'm blocking it by a vibration of self judgment. I know that to be true, because when I'm in that place of feeling total self-love, I always choose the banana, or a couple of chips as opposed to the whole bag.
I only allow inspiration when I'm in a vibration of self-appreciation, worthiness, and acceptance. The inspired vibration is just not compatible with a vibration of self-recrimination, or blame.
If I miss noticing the cool breeze which carries the thought "it's a beautiful moment to take a walk and enjoy the day" it's because I'm focused on something other than who I really am, an amazing and powerful spiritual being here to create my experience whatever way I want to create it.
In order to create consciously, with intention, I have to respect, love and appreciate the very thing I'm creating . . . my life, myself, my expansion and growth.
There is not one negative thing that you are experiencing that is happening for any other reason other than you are not appreciating yourself. It our promise to you that your Inner Being adores you but you close the door when you think thoughts of lack about yourself. Excerpted from an Abraham-Hicks (Abraham-Hicks.com) Special Subjects - Self Appreciation Recording #AB-20
The thing is . . . we are born into these lives adoring ourselves. We all come as new babies feeling deeply the truth of who we are, fully connected to our inner beings and their loving guidance. But with each new day, it is slowly taught out of us. And not just by our parents and families. As children we are bombarded with well meaning adults from church, school, sports, scouts who believe they are passing on valuable life lessons in the form of self scrutiny. They all help to replace the divine sense of self we come here with, with the "necessary tools for life". Well meaning teachings of self criticism "who do you think you are the Queen of Sheba?", self judgment "were you born in a barn", and humility "don't get a big head, people don't like a know-it-all". Each of them sure of the "rightness" of passing it along to us as it was taught to them as youngsters.
For me I've realized it's easier to think of something I can do which is action oriented than to figure out how to love myself more. It's easier to think "I can use willpower to make myself give up sweets, snack chips, etc." than it is to simply "be" in a place of spiritual self-appreciation.
But the issue is that the action step isn't effective, it simply has no lasting power, unless it is inspired. I can't maintain any action for any length of time unless it's an action inspired by my loving and nurturing inner being.
I'm realizing that changing my body, releasing weight, and creating a new life is only possible when I stay within the flow of that loving inspiration. And that means staying in a self-loving vibration that matches the one my inner being always has for me. A vibration of where I am right now is perfect, a vibration of delightful expectation and a vibration of faith that I have the creative power to do anything I want to do.
I know that when I am in that flow of self-loving vibration, inspiration is abundant, it's easy, and it lasts as long as my self-loving vibration lasts. As soon as I start questioning myself (Why haven't I ever been able to do this? Why is it so hard for me? Etc.), I know I've simply slipped out of my self-loving vibration and it's time to find things to appreciate about myself in order to slip right back in.
Yes, it's all about self-love . . . and faith in myself.
Much love,

Appreciation and self-love are the most important aspects you could ever nurture. Appreciation of others and the appreciation of yourself are the closest vibrational matches to Source Energy of anything we have ever witnessed anywhere in this Universe.
The blockage that stops most from allowing the magnificence of their inner potential to shine forth is LACK OF APPRECIATION OF SELF. It is the very same blockage that stops most from getting or achieving anything that is wanted. It is the very same thing that holds so many in a place of frustration, or non-accomplishment, when what they yearn for is motion forwards.
"Accept Well Being as a given. How would you ever pay for sunshine?"
It goes like this: You are wonderful beings. You are blessed beings. You are deserving of Well-being. Well-being is on its way to you. Chill out and let it in!
Clarity is your natural state of being. Healthy is your natural state of being. Eager is your natural state of being Loving is your natural state of being. It is natural for you to have desire. And it is natural for you to anticipate happy outcomes. And it is natural for you to love. And it is natural for you to sing. And it is natural for you to play. It is natural for you to skip. It is natural for you to be joyful. It is natural for you to know Well Being. It is natural for you to expand. It is natural for you to question. It is natural for you to find interest. It is natural for you to want more. And it is natural for you to want to feel good. And anything else, is resisting the natural state of who you are.

tigerlily,
I can't begin to tell you ...i am still reeling...this article speaks to me so strongly it is spooky. I have been begging God, the universe, someone, to show me how the heck i'm supposed to learn to love myself.
I've been struggling with gratitude, and now i know why, because of "lack of self-appreciation".
Now ALL KINDS of things make sense to me, self appreciation leads to gratitude leads to attracting the wonderful things you've always dreamed about.
There is a difference between arrogance and confidence.
There is a difference between addiction and love.
There is a difference between self-aggrandization and declaring your talents.
There is a difference between being stuck on yourself and adoring yourself.
omg...i wish i'd known this a long time ago....
It's in my head. Wow.
Now the hard part is getting it into my heart. My heart has been shut down for so long...
someone....help me...oh god i want the ache to end....
