Beyond Self-Love - The life-giving power of the discipline and practice of self-reverence

Published: Oct. 21, 2022, 5 p.m.

Self-love is often dismissed as frivolous and self-centered, or simply misunderstood as self-care (and relegated to Sundays...oy).

But self-love is actually the basis for every relationship we have and everything we create.
More than that, our capacity for self-love -- and its sister skills of self-attunement, self-nourishment -- IS our capacity to embody the Truth of Who We Are.

This is not a 'one and done' kind of thing but a life-long discipline Kristy calls Self-Reverence. It is a 'discipline' in the sense that self-reverence calls us to be a Disciple to Something Greater in our lives, to apprentice ourselves to That Which Wants to Live Through Us and Into The World.

Self-reverence is the decision to live from, be guided by, and have full-access to the depth of our heart -- No Matter The Condition. And it is this decision that allows us the freedom to create and serve in ways that are both deeply nourishing to ourselves and meet a deep need in the world.
