DAILY SELF LOVE RITUAL

PART 1 - Repeat out loud 5 times “I deeply completely love and accept myself” while rubbing the acupressure point on your heart with your right hand (in-between your 2nd-3rd rib, left side of chest on your heart). ***Say it like you mean it, smile :)

PART 2 - Breathe into your heart, choosing an elevated emotion (joy, gratitude, love, peace, inspiration etc). FEEL it, smile, bask in this energy and breath it into every cell of your body ~ if you need a hand getting there, activate memories in your body of when you felt that way. Speak out loud 5 times “I Am ______(elevated emotion)”.

PART 3 - repeat “I Am that I Am” 5 times ~ OUT BREATH: “I AM THAT”. IN BREATH: “I AM”

Notes: Do this practice while gazing into your eyes in the mirror. This is a POWERFUL way to start your day! Incorporate it into your morning routine. DO THIS PRACTICE before you paint and if you get stuck while painting. SELF LOVE & SELF ACCEPTANCE are essential keys to our Creative Power ~ LOVE YOURSELF like your life depends on it :)

Completing your painting video

Before you paint: Take some time sitting in stillness gazing at your canvas and just listen, observe, sit in emptiness allowing the mind to be still and view from your heart. Rotate the canvas each way and sit with it for a while in each of its 4 directions ~ seeing if any images, ideas, inspirations come through ~ something meaningful to you hiding in the texture and first layer. Sometimes these paintings begin upside down ;)

*Use this video as a jumping off point, when you feel called in a different direction, different colours, LISTEN to that ~ honouring your inner muse and teacher. EnJOY ~Linzy
