Loving
Your Core Being

What is your core being?

Many know instantly & can answer in one word or phrase – peace, healing, love, freedom, to be of service.

Summarizing your reason for being alive is perhaps the most profound way that you can deeply & fully love yourself. If you can’t visualize & articulate your own core being, how can you expect others to know & love you for who you truly are?  It's immensely valuable to take the time to identify your core being -- to yourself. 

Once you know your core being, the cat is out of bag. Your identity is open to the universe. How every exciting! Others feel the phenomenal energy that flows from core self-knowing and will be attracted to your energy presence. You will be attracted to your energy presence too – falling in love with your true self. Now this is fulfillment! Notice, it doesn’t come from the outside, but from deep knowing within.

Your core being is so precious that it deserves massive & continuous nurturing, comforting, honoring, cherishing, & empowering. Imagine the loss to the universe if your core being was isolated, rejected, ignored, trampled on, dumped on, criticized, judged, abused, submerged, hidden, or shamed. Not only would your own inner purity of soul be hidden from yourself, but your core gifts to the universe would go un-given.  This would be a travesty.

Your core being is your light – the light of your soul that is yearning to express its infinite & boundless message. That’s why we all need to stand in the light of our core being with conviction, determination, passion, steadfastness, harmony, and understanding of who we are.  

Your core being is so important to the universe that there are two messages that are vital to understand. First, it is your spiritual right to know & live your core being. Second, it is your spiritual right to have your core being cherished by those closest to you.  Let’s look at this more closely.

If you are not loving your one core being, you are not letting in the light that the garden of your heart needs for soul nourishment to come alive into extraordinary beauty & vitality.

And that’s why we all must carefully nurture friendships and relationships that can honor, support, love, & help our core being unfold. Far more is at stake than just having “friends.” We need soul mates, love mates, core being mates. We need people who understand the significance of living in the light of our inner truth.

Yes, it takes a village to raise a child. And yes, it takes a village to bring forth our core being. This article you are reading right now is part of that village supporting you. This website you are visiting right now is part of that village. You right now are part of that village – for yourself and for others who are reading these words at the same moment as you. We are one. Our core beings are unique, but we are one in spirit and we need each other’s love to break through all the barriers that block our complete and free expression of the reason we are alive. We thank and honor your core being and we feel your blessings as well.  Welcome to the heart of love.
