Spiritual Self-Love: How to be Good to Yourself

29 July 2020 By Ntathu Allen 1 Comment

Spiritual self-love is all about being good to yourself, learning to be comfortable in your skin; to love, honour, appreciate and accept all of yourself… The “good parts” and the “not-so-good parts.”

It is to smile in the mirror, love your reflection, hug yourself and quietly accept and know that you will get through all difficulties with grace.

Most women are so focused on caring and tending to others, we forget to put our needs on the table, we eat last, we say “you go first, I’m OK”, and pick up the groceries on the way home after a demanding day at work (pre-Co-vid 19).

Poem – to keep you going through hard times

11 September 2018 By Ntathu Allen 2 Comments

Hugs gentle soul, am sitting here, reflecting on how I kept going through hard times as I listen to a personal development podcast.

Like me, I know you are determined to look after yourself and do your thing.

And at times it is a challenge to find out exactly what you should be doing and how to do it!

That’s OK, just keep believing in your dreams, show up, do your daily meditation or morning practices and the next step will reveal itself.

Sometimes, even when the next step is shown, it takes courage to TAKE that step.

Again, it is OK. Just breathe, be gentle with yourself and trust.

How to keep going through hard times

Today’s poem, “Weep No More” is taken from my deeply personal book, Healing After Loss, and offered to remind you of your greatness, to breathe through hard times and to let you know you can do this.

Weep No More
My sister as you sojourn, keep these few words in your heart.
“we come into this world to follow a pre-ordained path.
We grow.
Some of us from birth acknowledge ourselves
And shine our Love and Light.
Others now.
Grow through the jungle of materialism,
Nihilism, bondage and hierarchy.
They surround themselves with baggage from the past,
Ladled with thoughts from the future.
They stagnate and sink slowly, invisibly to the bottom,
Some of us stay there afraid to venture out
Afraid of our light, Our Power and Glory.
Others now.
Rest awhile
Venture out and reclaim their pre-ordained destiny.
Sister, when you are experiencing moments of uncertainity
Pause. Center. Tune in
That’s the way to serenity
The journey of longitivity. True health and harmony
Sister:
Rise above the “I’m tiredness”.
Transcend the “No, I’ve got no money”
Step over the “Yes, but ..what if ..”
And
Reach for your dreams
Soar to the turret
Stroll along the esplanade
Gird up your loins
And manifest your dream.
Remember, you are reaping the seeds,which have been sown, the fruits of your labour.
Gather up the seeds.
Remain true to yourself and proceed.”
