My loves, in our new tradition of Sundays being for prayerful, meditative, contemplative,

contemplative content, today I'm going to give you a devotion.

Show me how to love myself.

Show me how to love myself truly and entirely. Show me how to love myself. Show me how to love myself truly and entirely.

Show me how to eat, sleep, and move my body for nourishment, restoration, celebration.

Show me how to embody everything that is my joy.

Face me toward my soul, toward my innocence, my beauty, my strength,

my gifts. Show me what I knew before I took on the veils of human form. Show me who I am with no attachments, and show me who I am fulfilled. Rinse comparison

from my psyche. Lift my gaze to my higher self. On the dark days, just remind me that I am a good

person and that I was chosen to be here. Please affirm that I am a good person and that I was chosen to be here.

Please affirm that I am valued regardless of my productivity or my past.

Help me notice how my loving shows up in everyday doings.

Help me see how I make a positive difference to the atmosphere of life itself. Show me how to revel in my divine qualities and to give them generously to the world.

Support me to make empowered choices that are best for my body, mind, and spirit.

Help me integrate the parts of myself that I have abandoned so that I move forward,

fuller and wise. There is a formula for forgiveness. Help me mix it and drink it first, bringing the cup

to my own lips to loosen and wash away what I have held against

myself.

Help me shift my relationship to deserving so that I tend to my needs with incredible sweetness.

Guide me to knowing my magnificence that I will transform self-doubt into courage,

denial into resolve, brittleness into fluidity, criticism into adoration, proving into honoring, striving into trusting, constriction into allowing,

and harshness into an embrace that is greater than time.
