Self Love Ritual
Self-love and intimacy are the first critical step in getting to know ourselves, not only so that we can become closer to others, but so that we can finally see that we are perfect, just as we are.
The truth is, we all like to spread the love, but the question is — do we have enough love for our own selves?
We cannot always expect to rely only on external sources for love and that is where the concept of self-love comes in. A person who practices self-love will never need to depend on others to be happy and it is an empowering feeling to be happy on the inside.
Do you say yes when you really mean no? Do you break promises to yourself or neglect your self-care? Is it hard to put yourself first?
If so, it’s time to give yourself the most important gift ever… Self-love.
​
When you make decisions out of guilt, a need to please or to avoid conflict, you overvalue the needs of others and disrespect yourself. This conveys—to yourself and those around you—that you accept very little. That doesn’t feel very good, does it?
“Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have”
​
Self-love is your secret weapon to living a fulfilling life. That’s because your inner world creates your outer world. Before you can receive love and respect from others, you need to love and respect yourself.
Our Self-love ritual was created by Gisella Rouge as a personal tool to understand her true Self-love nature and to be able to find greater life satisfaction.
Through this ritual she learned that Self-love is not just feeling proud of yourself for accomplishing your goals but also feeling proud for trying your best even when you didn't make it, realizing that we are only human and it is okay to make mistakes. She understood that Self-love is embracing all of yourself, be there shadow or light, Self-love is feeling compassion for your wounding as well as trying to heal it. But most importantly she learned that Self-love means taking care of your emotional and mental health just as much as your physical health.
The intention behind this ritual is to understand what really means to love ourselves, by peeling off the layers of Self to find the deeper meaning of Love. We will journey through our emotional, energetic, and physical bodies and connect with our higher self to understand what our soul is longing for.
The main components of this ritual are higher-self invocation, emotional body inquiry, energetical touch, and physical self-pleasure. We will create a safe space a beautiful environment where it feels safe to be yourself and explore the realms of self-inquiry to find out how to love yourself deeply.
