K n o w T h y s e l f ~ A BLISS MEDITATION | ’ask dorothy’ | The WISDOM podcast | S3 E89

  Self-Love is the Absence of Ego The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 108   ~ For you to heal ( with ) self-love ~ it must be embraced without a critical mind and rather in the complete nature of what love truly is. ~ 💜   Ego cannot exist in an environment of self-honesty. In the absence of ego you are forced to look at yourself and to see yourself with honesty rather than defensiveness, ignorance and unwillingness. And it is a choice.   To live out of your ego is to hold yourself back from the potential that you are and this includes the willingness to see yourself accurately, truthfully, wholly ~ so that you can do what is needed to define your path towards truly living your greatness and not defending mediocrity.   In this episode, I also share a short list to help you gain greater awareness of your ego behaviour and what to do about it.     + Our List of Self-Love Episodes in this Series: Bliss Meditation ~ Self-Compassion Self-Love IS Self-Compassion and Self-Kindness Q & A: The Self-Care You Need Why You Need Self-Love ~ 'ask dorothy' The Self-Care That You Need – The Ultimate Self-Care Guide – 30 Best Practices Bliss Meditation ~ Open Your Heart to Love The True Meaning of Self-Love     💜 Take the 30 day Challenge with me! 30 days of self-love words and actions of self-love.

  Why You Need Self-Love  | 'ask dorothy' The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 79   ~ Remind yourself... 'Am I deciding to be love?' ~ 💜   :: time stamps :: Podcast Intro  0-2:22  |  Intro to this episode and my 'live' sessions as Inspiration  2:23-3:12  |  What is Self-Love?  3:13 | Why Do We Need Love?  4:59  |  How We Learn Unconditional Love  7:33 | Elicit the Energy of Love  11:55 | How Do We Choose to Be Love?  12:58  |  What Does Self-Love Do?  18:21  |  The Self-Love Inventory (& The Eight Key Areas of Self-Love)  19:37  | Podcast Outro  20:32   Self-love as a daily practice becomes an artful discipline ~ a way of life ~ that you cherish. It is how you are able to be self-sustaining ~ through self-nurturing behaviours that grow your self-esteem and self-worth and reinforce your innate gifts and talents as you pursue all of your highest goals.   A return to self-love is how you feel whole and complete in each moment regardless of whether you are dealing with uncertainty, conflict, hurt or any challenging experience.   Self-love nourishes and reminds you of the power you hold in self-acceptance ~ to know that you are perfect as you are and as you continue to expend and seek more.   To truly love yourself is to be forgiving, generous and kind. To love yourself is to also parent yourself so that you practice self-discipline and live of the highest honour because this is how you grow esteem and worth.   Love is graceful and kind. Love embraces the humour in life’s moments and the ways in which you receive your answers and all that you need. Love honours the teachings that become important life lessons that you seek and create as the beautiful paths before you.   *Please reach out if you would like the full script for this or any other episode.

  Self-Compassion and Kindness is Self-Love The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 106   ~ There is brilliance in love. Love that cherishes a higher ground ~ that offers the new habits that become your fundamental nature and the love that you exist as. ~   💜 :: timestamps ::  An Introduction to this Episode 0-2:03  |  Podcast Music Intro ~ 2:04  |  The (New) Habits of Self-Love ~ 3:41  |  How You Give Nourishment to Yourself ~ 6:24  |  The Ways You Live in Self-Compassion ~ 7:42  |  What Is The Meaning of Grace? ~ 8:08  |  What is Compassion?  ~ 8:48  |  What is Honour? ~ 12:08  |  Revisit Your Definitions of Self-Compassion & Kindness ~ 13:44  |  Compassion and Kindness as Love of Self ~14:38  |  Your Homework Question ~ 16:06  |  An Introduction to The JUNO app! ~ 16:38  |  Podcast Music Outro ~ 18:47   The ways that we best live in self-compassion is through daily acts of kindness. Compassion is the ability to hold and measure the love of pure positive energy and the willingness of grace to lead you.   Love will always be here for you. You are at your core – love. Love lives as you look inward rather than externally. You find and reclaim what you once knew.   This is how you come alive in the brilliance of life that you live and know for honour is always the grace of your heart open in love and receiving the pure positive love of the divine. Honour is the self expression of happiness felt when you align with the certainty of truth.   Compassion is this love. It is love felt in the pureness of grace for one another. Compassion is an expression of wholeness as you open yourself to the goodness of your pure nature and the nonphysical aspects that live within you.   💜 Take the 30 day Challenge with me! 30 days of self-love words and actions of self-love.

  Open Your Heart to Love 'ask dorothy' | A Bliss Meditation The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 105   “When you open the heart it thrives.”  ~ dorothy zennuriye juno 💜 time stamps:  | :01 Podcast Intro | 2:24 Intro to Bliss Meditations | 3:53 Open Your Heart to Love Bliss Meditation |    If you have ever lived with your heart chakra whether instinctively in self-protection or self-preservation or as you were hurting, it can feel like you are lost ~ you are alone and unloved even if you logically know that this is not true.   You have the ability to open your heart at will ~ to know how to live unafraid, confident and proud because to live with your heart open, you define what it means to know and be love.   A bliss meditation calls you deep into the wonder and beauty of what you are. It is here that you open a path unto yourself ~ to call forward all of the love that lives here (within you.)   When you open the heart it thrives. The heart as a perceptual organ of the body is made up of the same type of neurons that are also found in the brain.   As you engage with the heart’s wisdom ~ as you allow it to be what you perceive then everything that you attach to can be experienced in the same beautiful vibration.   This is the deepening of what is a most profound and exquisite light as the energy of love and wonderment that lives here – all in the name of what becomes your fervent lightness.   Take in my words. Let these guide you to what expressions and feelings rise up ~ that are perfect for what you need right now.   There will be space and silence for you to visualize based on the words you hear. Soften into them. Make these words your own.   Follow them into you.   Allow the impressions you sense and feel to flow easily to you.  💜         ~ Journey with me....

  The True Meaning of Self-Love The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 104   'The more I practice being love, the easier it is to love myself and to love others.' ~ dorothy zennuriye juno 💜     Self-love is the unconditional state of love that you offer to yourself ~ you hold the deliberate inspiration for all of life that leads you here and into the sacred wonder of your heart. Self-love is how you express divine purpose and intention. It is how you live unstoppable in your belief of all of love that lives here and waiting for you.   Mantra of Self-Love: ‘All of the places of life that I seek to live and know myself best are also the means by which I live in the inspired consciousness of the divine.’   So much of the healing work that I do with clients is the journey of self-love. It is the sacred practices and rhythms that account for all of the ways in which we find peace within.   We feel loved and supported because of who we are and our dignity and we can call unto ourselves all of the ways in which love becomes the truest expression of our lives one moment and the next.   The love required of you is the love of your pure and powerful grace and dignity. It is the love of all miracles. It is the love that awaits you here and of this moment and to each moment thereafter.   The love of grace and wonder and life is the love of pure positive power and the miracles that you see and know forever.   The dignity of all love lives here with you.   💜 Take the 30 day Challenge with me! 30 days of self-love words and actions of self-love.

Is it possible to achieve states of samadhi and to remain here for some time even amidst the daily life situations we experience?  The answer is 'yes.'   Here we discuss the meaning of Samadhi and how to experience this blissful state by choice.     Dhyana (the Seventh Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Dhyana ~ Unbroken Concentration [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E100] Mastering Meditation as an Elevated State of Consciousness ~ A BLISS MEDITATION [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E101]   Dharana (the Sixth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) DHARANA ~ Calm Focusing of the Mind  S3 E98 DHARANA ~ Strategies for Focus and Concentration S3 E99   Pratyahara (the Fifth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Pratyahara ~ Awareness of the Senses | The Fifth Limb | S3 E65 Pratyahara ~ Freedom of the Senses | 'ask dorothy' S3 E66   Pranayama and Breathing Techniques (the Fourth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Why Taking A Deep Breath Feels Good ~ The Self-Healing Benefits of Deep Breathing: What You Need to Know  [The WISDOM BLOG] PRANAYAMA ~ Extension of Life Force  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E63]   Asana (The Third Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Asana ~ A State of Being  [Podcast Episode S3E61]  The Seat of Meditation ~ Asana ~ 'ask dorothy'   [Podcast Episode S3E62]      The Niyamas Series * SAUCHA ~ Purification  [Podcast S3 E49]  * The Niyamas Series: 1/5 * SANTOSHA ~ Contentment  [Podcast S3 E51]  * The Niyamas Series: 2/5 * TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline  [Podcast S3 E53]  * The Niyamas Series: 3/5 * SVADHYAYA ~Self-Study  [Podcast S3 E55]  * The Niyamas Series: 4/5 * ISVARA PRANIDHANA ~ Surrender  [Podcast S3 E57]  * The Niyamas Series: 5/5   The Yamas Series * APARIGRAHA ~ Non-Attachment  [Podcast S3 E47]  * The Yamas Series: 5/5 * BRAHMACHARYA ~ Non-Excess  [Podcast S3 E45]  * The Yamas Series: 4/5 * ASTEYA ~ Non-Stealing  [Podcast S3 E43]  * The Yamas Series: 3/5 * SATYA ~ Truthfulness  [Podcast S3 E41]  * The Yamas Series: 2/5 * AHIMSA ~ Nonviolence  [Podcast S3 E39]  * The Yamas Series: 1/5     Meditation and Mindfulness The Five Best '5-Minute' Mindfulness and Meditation Life Hacks  [Podcast Episode S1 E15]   ~ Journey with me....

You can decide how trusting you will be of your ability to release expectations ~ to let go of any negative thoughts or self-doubt and to believe that it is simply in applying the skills and techniques of each limb of the sutras that you will find your way to reveal moments of stillness and the practice of an experience of deep relaxation and presence in this moment and a blissful state of calm.   If you hold ~ stillness, deep relaxation, presence in this moment and blissful calm ~ as the guiding prompts for your journey, much will be revealed.   Then, each time you sit or lie in a practice of deep meditation ~it~ becomes the journey you receive. 🙏       Dhyana (the Seventh Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Dhyana ~ Unbroken Concentration  S3 E100     Dharana (the Sixth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) DHARANA ~ Calm Focusing of the Mind  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E98] DHARANA ~ Strategies for Focus and Concentration  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E99]   Pratyahara (the Fifth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Pratyahara ~ Awareness of the Senses | The Fifth Limb  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E65] Pratyahara ~ Freedom of the Senses | 'ask dorothy'  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E66]   Pranayama and Breathing Techniques (the Fourth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Why Taking A Deep Breath Feels Good ~ The Self-Healing Benefits of Deep Breathing: What You Need to Know  [The WISDOM BLOG] PRANAYAMA ~ Extension of Life Force  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E63]     Asana (The Third Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Asana ~ A State of Being  [Podcast Episode S3E61]  The Seat of Meditation ~ Asana ~ 'ask dorothy'   [Podcast Episode S3 E62]      The Niyamas Series (the Second Limb of the Yoga Sutras) SAUCHA ~ Purification  [Podcast S3 E49]  * The Niyamas Series: 1/5 SANTOSHA ~ Contentment  [Podcast S3 E51]  * The Niyamas Series: 2/5 TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline  [Podcast S3 E53]  * The Niyamas Series: 3/5 SVADHYAYA ~Self-Study  [Podcast S3 E55]  * The Niyamas Series: 4/5 ISVARA PRANIDHANA ~ Surrender  [Podcast S3 E57]  * The Niyamas Series: 5/5     The Yamas Series (the First Limb of the Yoga Sutras) APARIGRAHA ~ Non-Attachment  [Podcast S3 E47]  * The Yamas Series: 5/5 BRAHMACHARYA ~ Non-Excess  [Podcast S3 E45]  * The Yamas Series: 4/5 ASTEYA ~ Non-Stealing  [Podcast S3 E43]  * The Yamas Series: 3/5 SATYA ~ Truthfulness  [Podcast S3 E41]  * The Yamas Series: 2/5 HIMSA ~ Nonviolence  [Podcast S3 E39]  * The Yamas Series: 1/5     Meditation and Mindfulness The Five Best '5-Minute' Mindfulness and Meditation Life Hacks  [Podcast Episode S1 E15]     ~ Journey with me....

The first four limbs (or paths) of the Yoga Sutras center on the purification of body and mind. In the pratyahara stage, the mind becomes completely free from the interference of external objects caused by the senses. After the fifth limb of pratyahara, the mind will be ready to experience a higher state ~ Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation).   The larger purpose of achieving Dhyana is to take another step towards Samadhi, or complete identification with the Divine, the Universe, or however you like to imagine something that which is far greater than yourself.     Resources: The Yoga Book: A Practical and Spiritual Guide to Self-Realization by Stephen Sturgess and Michelle Fondin  ~ dhyana-the-seventh-limb-of-yoga     Dharana (the Sixth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) DHARANA ~ Calm Focusing of the Mind  S3 E98 DHARANA ~ Strategies for Focus and Concentration S3 E99   Pratyahara (the Fifth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Pratyahara ~ Awareness of the Senses | The Fifth Limb | S3 E65 Pratyahara ~ Freedom of the Senses | 'ask dorothy' S3 E66   Pranayama and Breathing Techniques (the Fourth Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Why Taking A Deep Breath Feels Good ~ The Self-Healing Benefits of Deep Breathing: What You Need to Know  [The WISDOM BLOG] PRANAYAMA ~ Extension of Life Force  [The WISDOM Podcast S3 E63]     Asana (the Third Limb of the Yoga Sutras) Asana ~ A State of Being  [Podcast Episode S3E61]  The Seat of Meditation ~ Asana ~ 'ask dorothy'   [Podcast Episode S3E62]      The Niyamas Series (the Second Limb of the Yoga Sutras) SAUCHA ~ Purification  [Podcast S3 E49]  * The Niyamas Series: 1/5 SANTOSHA ~ Contentment  [Podcast S3 E51]  * The Niyamas Series: 2/5 TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline  [Podcast S3 E53]  * The Niyamas Series: 3/5 SVADHYAYA ~Self-Study  [Podcast S3 E55]  * The Niyamas Series: 4/5 ISVARA PRANIDHANA ~ Surrender  [Podcast S3 E57]  * The Niyamas Series: 5/5     The Yamas Series (the First Limb of the Yoga Sutras) APARIGRAHA ~ Non-Attachment  [Podcast S3 E47]  * The Yamas Series: 5/5 BRAHMACHARYA ~ Non-Excess  [Podcast S3 E45]  * The Yamas Series: 4/5 ASTEYA ~ Non-Stealing  [Podcast S3 E43]  * The Yamas Series: 3/5 SATYA ~ Truthfulness  [Podcast S3 E41]  * The Yamas Series: 2/5 HIMSA ~ Nonviolence  [Podcast S3 E39]  * The Yamas Series: 1/5     Meditation and Mindfulness The Five Best '5-Minute' Mindfulness and Meditation Life Hacks  [Podcast Episode S1 E15]   ~ Journey with me....
