Valentine Self Love

Hello my beautiful soul and Happy Valentine’s Day!

I wanted to reach out today especially because firstly, this is a love letter which I adore writing to you and secondly, there’s no better day then Valentine’s to receive a love letter filled with joy and compassion.

Valentine’s Day can be a tricky one for so many people. There is so much pressure all round for us to find the perfect partner to share our life and love with. So let’s bring this love letter back to basics.

All the way back to you. Starting with some self appreciation and some self-love. I recently shared a post on Instagram which posed the question:

If I were to ask you to name all the things you love, how long would it take to name yourself?

They are powerful words! Words that created lots of conversations and thought provoking questions from you. I would like you to re-read that question and, if possible, answer this question honestly: Why do we find it so hard to love ourselves? And then this one: if we begin to love ourselves, why do we find it so hard to admit that we do?

I can’t tell you that I know the answers to these questions but I can tell you what I see energetically when I’m talking or working with my clients, whether that is remotely or in person. If we are discussing painful traumas, our cells react to this conversation. They begin to tense up, disassociate and then detach from each other. This can make your energy feel separate and fearful, as cells hold memories and if we keep repeating the same negative dialogue to ourselves, then these little beautiful cells absorb all of this direction and begin to act out this way. I ask them then to hold onto a piece of Rose Quartz and start to change their inner dialogue. For example, from saying “I can’t do this, I will never be able to do this, I will just give up” to trying “I am willing to give this a try, I will be okay, I am just learning”

These positive words affirmed by the unconditional love and energy from Rose Quartz then allows our cells to bloom, to open and to begin to interact with each other once again, which in turn allows energetic flow, clearance and unconditional love to flourish. Give it a try, what have you got to lose?

We all know what negative affirmations work as they can make you feel sad or unloved, heavy and detached. So why not switch it? If you feel silly or perhaps embarrassed saying (or sometimes) even thinking these positive words to yourself. Believe me when I tell you because I can see intuitively what our cells do. They absorb open and positive words and begin to act accordingly.

Next time you catch yourself berating your own beautiful self, observe if you can with compassion and non judgement for we all do this. Then counteract this negative sentence with “but I am listening, I know you’re scared and I am here for you”

This instantly stops the closing from closing and burying these fears deep within your cells. It instead allows movement, change even forgiveness to happen.

We can only ever save ourselves

Such a powerful sentence but oh so very true. For Valentine’s Day I dare you to nourish yourself with little acts of self-love. Such as:

• Smiling at your reflection
• Burning that beautiful candle you’ve been saving
• Spend just half an hour with some of your pink crystals
• Make yourself a wholesome meal
• Go to bed that little bit earlier
• Play one of your most favourite songs
• Drink some heart opening cacao
• Bathe with Rose Quartz and rose essential oil
• Place both palms open upon the centre of your chest and gently circle, massaging your amazing Heart Chakra.

Please let me know of any other acts of self love you did today, I would love to hear about them. Share them on your instagram story and tag me in @vikkigadd_crystal. Hopefully this will then spread and begin to spill over into your everyday. Small acts of self love and kindness are one of THE best gifts you can give to the beautiful and oh so worthy Self.

Please remember that I love you and nothing would make me happier if you could love you too.

As my last gift to you this Valentine’s Day, here is an exclusive recorded Self Love Meditation.

All my love always
