What would it be like if you accepted yourself more than you do now?
Self acceptance is a necessary awareness to wholeness and health. The greater the self-acceptance, the less stress on the soul and the greater the inner peace. That increased inner peace then affects our physiology in healing ways.
To consider oneself as “unworthy” as I have heard some people say, or some feel subconsciously, does no one any good. How can we honor our Creator when we condemn His creation? The more we accept ourselves as His beautiful works of art, the more we honor Him and each other. This in turns reminds me of what Jesus said about loving God and each other.
To accept yourself at an even deeper and greater level than you do now might seem frightening as it is like jumping into new territory. That’s understandable but no worries. The part of you that is feeling the fear of letting go or growing is akin to your ego. It is, in a sense, afraid of dying. You can let it know, or remind yourself, that it is not dying but evolving and evolving closer to God.
Several years ago the awareness was graced to me that as I seek Truth, I will find Myself. Since then I have learned that the more I learn who God Is and grow in my relationship with Him, the more I learn about who I am and the greater I keep accepting who I am in that relationship. The more I open myself to God’s love and unknown, the more I allow His grace to flow through me and the more I grow toward and with Him. You can too.
The answer is in the question and in the trusting of God. Can you ask yourself, “What would it be like if I were to accept myself more?” Can you ask it with a child’s curiosity? Can you ask it with an honest wonderment of the unknown? Then let it go and let God. Let it go to the Infinity of God and all the possibilities He has available to you. Let go of expectations of what you may think it should look like, and be open to the surprises that His Love wishes to share. And then check back with yourself in a few months and ask what you notice and what’s different and enjoy.

Special thanks to Dr. Richard Bartlett of http://matrixenergetics.com for the awareness that the answer is in the question, of which I am only beginning to learn and am very excited about.
Hi All,
Accepting a helping hand or steadfastness of a friend standing with you are metaphors for trust. This is much like what it is when we trust God, for our Lord is always there with His helping hand and standing with us when we need support. Deep and profound healing requires trust as our systems use it as a resource for healing. We need to feel safe when we undergo the healing process. And the greatest safety lies in trusting in God. Where is our safety if all else is weaker than God and we look elsewhere?
This does not mean to not trust someone that we do, because it is His Spirit within us that gives us life. When the Spirit is partnered with one’s consciousness and heart, they are most certainly trustworthy. But it does mean to let ourselves be open to unknown Truth He holds for us. Our limited awareness tends to create expectations about how things are supposed to be instead of letting God’s love create a whole new world for us by being open to His infinite possibilities. And it is within one of these unknown possibilities that the healing we need can be accessed.
Once we learn how to settle and center ourselves into a state of presence and stillness, then we can access different parts of our system that want help. I always begin with prayer, and then open myself to listening to what comes. The question becomes to notice what I notice or observe. When I notice a part of me that feels “off” or “not right” somehow, I use my trust in God to allow it to heal.
Notice that I didn’t say, “make it heal”, but rather to allow it. I let go and let God. I hold in my awareness the piece requesting help and the intention of letting go and letting God, knowing that healing will happen. I know that that the Holy Spirit will work it’s magic as that is the nature of God’s Love. It is the healing power. So it simply does what love does if we let it. And healing happens.
It’s something that anybody can do. It just takes some education and practice, just like anything else worth doing.
Blessings,
Irene
For thine is not to know, but to trust. Trust your heart’s desire, and then open it to Me for My Love opens all pathways of Truth.
(Graced to me tonight as I opened myself to God and listened.)
