Introduction
S elf-love is one of the deepest, most powerful, versatile, and transformative spiritual
practices in existence.

Every person on this planet, regardless of who they are or what they’ve gone
through, can benefit tremendously from self-love. In fact, self-love is such a
game-changing, paradigm-shifting philosophy that it is at the very core of the
spiritual awakening journey. How else can you heal, grow, open, and expand
without connecting with the power of Love?
Indeed, self-love transforms us on every single layer of our being. From the
physical and emotional to the mental and spiritual, self-love is the molten
alchemical fire that dissolves our shadows, enlightens our minds, and illuminates
our hearts.
The purpose of this Self-Love Journal is to help you reconnect with your heart
and therefore embody your Soul through the power of introspective journaling.
Treat this Journal as a holy temple in which to sit, contemplate, and fan the flames
of your innermost Being.
All forms of inner work take time and sincerity. See this heart work not as a
task to tick off your to-do list but as a slow initiation into the mysteries of the
Soul. For when we reconnect with our hearts, we begin to embody our True Nature.

What is Self-Love?
Sometimes it helps to have a clear explanation of self-love to come back to
reference. Here’s our definition:

Self-love is the spiritual practice of learning to understand, embrace, and show

compassion toward all parts of yourself, both light and dark.
On a practical level, self-love involves nurturing your entire being and taking
care of yourself on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
When engaging in self-love, we focus on forgiving ourselves, accepting our
flaws, celebrating our strengths, setting boundaries, and embracing our inner
demons. This inner work might be gentle, but it is fierce in its implications.

18 Profound Benefits of Self-Love

Self-love softens, illuminates, and deepens every aspect of life. Here are some of

””Self-care can help you reach your goals5

””Self-love supports you through adversity6

Who knows what other fascinating and eye-opening discoveries science will
reveal next?

Is Self-Love Selfish?
Occasionally, you may hear explicitly stated or subtly implied that self-love is
selfish.

Perhaps you live in a family that condemns any form of self-care and celebrates
toxic self-sacrifice and martyrdom. Or maybe you work in an environment where
self-love is scoffed at or seen cynically.
Whatever the case, it’s important to nip this massive misconception in the bud.
Self-love isn’t selfish. Why? Because without taking care of yourself, you are
incapable of truly taking care of others. Self-love and compassion actually benefit
other people, not just yourself. When you’re able to love and accept yourself
genuinely, you’re able to love and accept others much more fully.
To use an analogy, how can an empty cup be used to quench the thirst of
another? It is impossible. Likewise, we can’t give the fullness of our love if we
haven’t first filled ourselves.
It’s basic commonsense that mistreatment of yourself results in the
mistreatment of others. On the opposite side of the spectrum, if you have
compassion for yourself, you’ll show compassion to others more easily. As
professor of educational psychology Kristin Neff writes7:
“Self-compassion involves treating yourself with the same kindness, concern,
and support you’d show to a good friend. When faced with difficult life struggles,
or confronting personal mistakes, failures, and inadequacies, self-compassion
responds with kindness rather than harsh self-judgment, recognizing that
imperfection is part of the shared human experience.”
So the next time you start feeling guilty for dedicating time to yourself or
caring for your own needs, remind yourself that by practicing self-love, you are
actually strengthening your ability to love others.

Self-Love Traps
Self-love is a beautiful, nourishing, and enriching practice that soothes the Soul.
But it’s not without its unique ‘dark side.’

Perhaps the main issue that you might encounter on this path is the expectation
that you should always be self-loving. Remember that the point of self-love is to
embrace your flawed humanity. It’s okay to mess up. It’s normal to alternate
between self-love and self-loathing. It’s normal to go through ups and downs.
But the more you practice embracing yourself each and every day, the more
you’ll be able to deal with what life throws at you.
Ironically, trying to “attain” self-love can be just another thing that we can use
to beat ourselves up. So be wary of any moments when you use the absolutist
words “should,” “must,” and “have to.” An example is thinking that you “should’ve
been less guilty and more self-loving,” or you “have to stop carrying so much self-
loathing and be self-loving already!”
Remember that self-love is an attitude of understanding and forgiveness. It’s
not meant to be a duty, a burden, or a jail cell to lock yourself within. It’s not
meant to be used as an unrealistically high yardstick against which you measure
your self-worth.
Self-love is meant to be an all-embracing hug. So when you feel the voice of
the Inner Critic trying to flog you, turn your love to that wounded Inner Critic
that’s only trying to help in its own misguided way. In the words of teacher and
author Matt Kahn, whatever arises, love that. So can you show love to even your
inability to practice self-love right now? Can you love the one that is trying so
hard to succeed?

How to Use This Journal

This Journal has been crafted as a gateway into the mysteries of the Heart. By
committing to the questions and activities within these pages, you will be initiated
on the path of self-love.

When it comes to completing this Journal, you’re welcome to progress through

the questions and activities as quickly or slowly as you desire. Don’t feel the need
to rush and complete everything within this Journal all at once (unless, of course,
you feel called to do that). It’s perfectly okay to go at your own pace.
We recommend completing at least three questions per week and leaving a
few days between each to integrate your discoveries. However, you’re free to
create your own schedule based on your unique needs and preferences.

Furthermore, when undertaking each question, don’t feel the need to write
long and heavy responses unless, of course, you feel the necessity. Even just a
few words or sentences are sufficient. You can always return to these questions
and activities in the future.
If conventional sentences don’t come easily to you, you can try experimenting
with poems or drawing pictures instead. Also, if you run out of space, you can
always use the Notes section at the end of this Journal.
Finally, we encourage you to keep this Journal private (even if you’re happy for
others to read what you write!). It’s crucial to keep this Journal private so that
you can write freely and unencumbered by inhibition or the need to say things in
a certain way.
Part of the power that lies in this Journal is its ability to give you a clear, pure,
and non-judgmental space in which to divulge all of your thoughts and feelings.
So please keep this Journal in a secure location away from prying eyes. This is
absolutely vital, and we cannot stress it enough.

Warnings
To get the most out of this Journal, please read the following warnings:

Firstly, this Journal is not a replacement for therapy or psychological help.

While this is a beginner-friendly and relatively gentle Journal, sometimes issues
can unexpectedly emerge along the way. If you suffer from a history of extreme
abuse or trauma, for instance, we advise you to seek out professional guidance
first and use this Journal as a supplement for your healing journey.
Secondly, if at any time a disturbing memory resurfaces, or you feel inundated
by strong emotions, please stop. Take a break – practice self-care. And if necessary,
seek out professional help, particularly if you’ve had a memory, emotion, or
impulse that you’re struggling to handle.

The Power of Journaling

A part of you might be wondering, why is it worth the effort of completing this
Journal anyway? The answer is simple: writing down your thoughts gives you a
visual and tangible way of exploring, connecting with, expanding, and diving into
the waters of your heart.

Merely thinking about self-love doesn’t do enough or create as much change

as actively committing to it. By logging your thoughts and feelings, you have a
point of reference to revisit in the future to learn from and add to. Many profound
lessons and epiphanies can be integrated more deeply simply by referring back
to them in physical form.

Emotional Support System

What does your emotional support system look like? How can you make it
stronger?

An emotional support system is a group of people or beings (whether big or

small) who genuinely care about your wellbeing. Our support systems can be
family members, spiritual guides, friends, pets, partners, colleagues, therapists,
or even online supporters. These are individuals that you can turn to in times of
need who have your back.

Emotional Burdens
Self-love can be tough when we’re holding onto heavy emotional burdens. Anger,
resentment, jealousy, disgust, fear, disappointment, and grief all tend to close
our hearts and shut out the flow of love.

Take some time to get quiet, introspect, and reflect on three emotions, people,
or situations that you may be holding on to. What exactly is weighing you
down that needs to be released. Why?

For example, if a loved one betrayed you, you might be holding onto hatred,
and beneath that might be heartbreaking grief. You might realize how much
energy this grief eats up within you and want to let go to feel free again.
While it may not be possible to totally let go of all that you’re carrying right
now, it often helps to simply be aware of what your heart is holding on to. Explore
your thoughts and feelings below.

Fire Purification
There are many ways of letting go, but often, the simplest, most powerful, and
immediate way of letting go is through a fire purification ritual.

On a small piece of paper, write down an emotional burden that is weighing on

your heart. Spend time in a quiet place reflecting on how much you want to let
go of this pain. Feel in your blood and bones how liberated you will feel after
letting go of this suffering. Then, once you’ve truly and intensely felt this desire
to let go, light a candle. (For safety, place a fireproof dish or bowl underneath the
candle.) Drop the piece of paper into the flame and watch as it burns and curls
up into ash. This ritual symbolizes letting go and burning away all traces of
emotional anguish. Fire is symbolic of death, transformation, and rebirth.
Write down your thoughts and feelings about this fire purification ritual after
you’ve performed it. What was the experience like for you? Did anything surprising
or unusual happen?
