Quick tool of goodness

Dear incandescent soul of wonder Sara, Hugging is a great love promoter and you don't need to wait for another person- you can hug yourself! It raises all your good feeling hormones and teaches your nervous system to relax. You can use this fast tool daily and practice multiplying and deepening goodness.  Here I am practicing. Here are some self-hugging instructions: Sit or lie down if you can. Wrap your loving arms around yourself and squeeze. Feel the contours of your arms and shoulders and let yourself relax into your own embrace. To add even more love, say out loud all the ways you love yourself, and include their opposites that maybe you don't quite love yet, or hadn't thought of as lovable. In this way, you practice filling yourself UP with unconditional love. This also circumvents critical inner dialogue which often runs automatically inside our heads without us quite realizing it. Here is an example: "I love you when you're generous and when you're stingy, I love you when you feel shiny and when you feel dull. I love you when you're kind and I love you when you're not. I love you when you do good things and I love you when you can't do anything. I love you when you eat well, I love you when you eat poorly. I love you when you quit and I love you when you start." More great self-hugging things to know and experience: Set a timer for 1-2 min of self-hugging & feel your oxytocin RISE. Kiss your arms & shoulders while hugging & say terms of endearments while using your name repeatedly & feel serotonin MULTIPLY. If you feel sadness or despair, self-hug while rocking back & forth & saying deeply comforting words over and over like, "I'm right here, I'm right here" and feel the embodiment of your unconditionally loving Inner Wise Self in MOTION with love on your behalf. Repeat self-hugging daily or most days & feel your endorphins EXPANDING. Sending you a rhapsody of self-hugging and Even More Love. P.S. I recorded a new message on the Inspiration Line for you that you can listen to for more goodness- you might even listen while self- hugging.  415-546-3742 (freely offered 25 hours per day)     If you wish to stop receiving our emails or change your subscription options, please manage your subscription. 1288 Columbus Ave, #151, City Of Love, SARK Francisco, CA 94133, US
