ACCEPTING YOURSELF WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION 04/23/2026

ACCEPTING YOURSELF WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION How can I recognize when I am not being self-compassionate? What does it look like? What does it feel like? Many of us are open to showing compassion for others, but find it difficult to be compassionate with ourselves. Self-compassion is enfolding ourselves in a blanket of our own love, warmth, and understanding at all times. It is not self-pity, self-centeredness or excessive self-indulgence, but a genuine act of loving ourselves wholeheartedly. Beyond feelings of failure and inadequacy, being self-compassionate relieves us from needless suffering and self-imposed anxiety. It is an empowering self-management tool that enables us to be tolerant, tender and gentle with ourselves. Loving and caring for ourselves strengthens our capacity to serve others. It is our personal responsibility and paramount to human existence. We can become self-compassionate by knowing our worth, being self-forgiving and affirming self-love. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. As we wholeheartedly connect with ourselves, we have better relationships with others. As we become self-compassionate, we are more empathic, understanding, and accepting of others. We can discern the balance of giving and receiving by setting healthy boundaries. As Henry Drummond quotes, "Hold things in proper proportion... You will give yourself many things, give yourself first to love". Be gentle with yourself and treat yourself with loving-kindness. Extend the olive branch to yourself. It is your responsibility and the best gift you can give yourself. Our Love In Action Practice is to face yourself wholeheartedly. Journal on qualities you admire about yourself and those that you would like to improve. You can also get feedback from a loyal friend, teacher or family member. Be an astute observer of yourself. Examine your thoughts, feelings and actions. Look in your own eyes with compassion. Face and embrace your whole self. This deepens the connection with your inner self. Reflect your true image of divine love. Feel free to share your insights and observations: Email Dr. Jean Marie closes with her excerpts on Self-Wholeness and Self-Embrace.

BEING PRESENT IN SILENCE 04/16/2026

BEING PRESENT IN SILENCE "Listen to Silence, it has so much to say" -Rumi "True silence is rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment" -William Penn Being present in silence heightens our senses, opens our hearts, and helps us tap into our divine power. This place of solitude gives us stability and clarity. Silence is great strength and enables us to be present, observe fully and attentively. Within infinite silence is an everpresent truth and wisdom where we feel oneness with the universe. It silences the ego, quiets the mind and enables us to connect with our heart and embrace the moment. This shuts down the noise within ourselves and annoying distractions from the outside world. Silence is also an aspect of self-discipline. The quieter you become the more you hear. It helps us be more compassionate, empathic and in touch with how others are feeling. This improves communication as a better listener without interrupting others. Sometimes silence is even better than words or sometimes you may not be able to find the right words to express how you are feeling or just how to respond to another. It takes us out of being reactive and saying things we may regret. We can emerge from silence with discernment, confidence and assurance. Master teachers say we are either in love or fear. Silence enables us to tune in to divine love. As Rumi quotes, "Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence". Here we can tap into the ingredients of love: Patience, kindness, courtesy, generosity, humility, sincerity, unselfishness, good temper, guilessness. There is an eloquence and sophistication to being silent. It is a time for gentle self-reflection. The benefits of silence include: Getting to know ourselves, Enriching our relationship with others and Getting to know the world around us. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. The opportunity for silence is available to you whether momentarily or long periods. Replenish your soul with silence. You can take brief moments during the day to recharge. You will experience the richness and fullness of life. Be aware of how you are using your energy. Preserve your energy with silence.

HOW TO LISTEN TO THE INNER VOICE OF LOVE 04/09/2026

FINDING INNER PEACE 04/02/2026

FINDING INNER PEACE Dr. Jean Marie opens with a LOVE LIGHT Meditation. We are constantly bombarded with outside forces that disrupt our peace. Whether it's a series of events, behavior of others, or our own life challenges, we feel tired, emotionally exhausted, and at risk of losing ourselves in chaos and drama. How do we get to a place of peace? A powerful quote by Saint Francis de Sales reminds us of our responsibility to preserve our peace, "Never be in a hurry, do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.

Reclaim your power and return to your natural state of peace, love and joy by: Getting quiet, Setting your intention for peace, Moving into Stillness, Anchoring in divine love, and Dwelling in peace. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Life is your epic journey. How will you choose to travel? Inner peace brings so many positive emotions and rewards. It is not escaping from problems but gives us clarity, understanding and coruage to gain a new perspective. It enables us to accept life as it comes, engage in authentic self-expression and fully participate in all facets of life. From a peaceful heart free of anxiety, confusion and worry, divine love flows. There is victory in peace and we should aim for this in all life circumstances with the realization that all is happening for our own spiritual evolution. Make peace with yourself and you will make peace with all that manifests in your life. Be grateful and know all is well! Our Love In Action Practice is to take time to free yourself from external noise and distractions. Take time to be at peace with yourself.

WHY YOU MUST LEARN TO FLOW LIKE THE RIVER TO FLOURISH IN LIFE 03/19/2026

WHY YOU MUST LEARN TO FLOW LIKE THE RIVER TO FLOURISH IN LIFE There's a river in each of us that knows no boundaries. The image of water provides an outward reflection of our inner self. Like the surging power of a rapidly flowing river, life can be unpredictable without knowing where it may lead. However, we have the innate capacity to navigate change with grace and ease. This requires faith and trust in ourselves and knowing that we are on the right path for forwarding movement. The sustainer of life, water is a gift of nature that nourishes our entire well being. Associated with qualities of ever-changing emotions, feelings and intutition, going inward we can connect to our true selves and embrace change. Marked by ancient and traditional ceremonies around the world and integrated with other forms of healing, meditations and blessings, our sacred connection to water nurtures our collective spirit. Water inititation rituals support our life's journey by surrendering to what we do not know and taking us just where we need to be. During the time spent in the Himalayas, immersed in nature and surrounded by breathtaking views, majestic mountains, pristine rivers and waterfalls, my mind, body and soul were refereshed. Keenly observing the rivers flowing downstream, gently washing over obstacles and meandering around rocks embedded in the stream, nothing stopped the natural flow. Taking time for journaling and self-reflection, I became one with the river and felt a profound sense of serentity. When we are out of the flow, we feel dammed up, stagnant, and out of balance resulting in stress and anxiety. When we are in sync, like the flow of the river, we trust our decisions and know that we are divinely guided. Water consciousness has a deep symbolic meaning that shows us the dynamic fludidity of nature moving through cycles, rhythms, and patterns representing change and transformation. Connect with the sacred flow of the river to be healthier, happier and more creative. Flourish like the river to achieve clarity, patience, freedom, goodness, and endurance as you move forward on your path to achieve the life you desire. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action practice is twofold. Reflect and journal on challenges you faced and overcame. What did you learn? How did you grow? What was the outcome. How are you all the better for it. Build on the lessons and the blessings. Next, reflect and journal on what you are trying to hold on to and control that you need to let go. Why are you holding on? How can you love yourself more, surrender and release the reins of control?

FINDING YOURSELF 02/26/2026

HOW TO CELEBRATE YOURSELF 02/19/2026

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF 02/13/2026

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF Our lives emcompass all kinds of adaptations, adjustments and accommodations. Influenced by social networks and illusive standards of success and happiness, our identity and behavior can be ever changing. The need for approval, to fit in and be accepted, can be exhausting by the diffent roles played in various settings. Living up to external expectations such as maintaining a suitable image and being excessively ambitious, can result in losing yourself. Ambition ignites creativity and innovation, but in excess, can be detrimental. Healthy ambition helps us maintain balance and allow natural unfoldment. Life is experienced through the lens of core beliefs, which are assumptions about ourselves, others, and outlook on life. These beliefs, some formed during early childhood, may be limiting and do not reflect the truth of who we really are. Our true self is obscured by external identities and limiting beliefs that should be exposed, acknowledged and transformed. Our true, authentic self, is unchanging and the moral compass that guides our thoughts, feelings and behaviors resulting in satisfactory outcomes. Being tue to yourself is living by your own standards and not compromising your moral values nor worrying about what others think. Do what really matters and what is really important. You can be true to yourself by knowing your worth, acknowledging your feelings, nurturing your inner child and developing your support system. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action Practice focuses on knowing your worth and being in integrity with yourself. Pay attention to what makes you feel comfortable and uncomfortable. Our true feelings can be guiding forces. For example, if you are given a task that compromises your integrity, how does it make you feel? Explore your feelings. Do you feel conflict or strife? Do you move forward making a decision to honor the request even though you have doubts or do you honor your truth? Take time to give thought before responding. Conside rappropriate responses and reflect on the possible outcomes. What response makes you feel good about yourself?

LOVING AND CARING FOR OURSELVES IS LOVING AND CARING FOR OTHERS 02/06/2026

LOVING AND CARING FOR OURSELVES IS LOVING AND CARING FOR OTHERS What will happen to me as I age? Who will care for me? How can I not be a burden to others? How can I get the most out of my life each day? It is our personal responsibility to love and care for ourselves. As we love and care for ourselves, we gracefully reciprocate to others. Our human society is interdependent and as humans, we cannot live and act in isolation. Healthy and complementary relationships help us thrive and enhance the quality of our lives. Life circumstances are unpredictable, and we never know when we may need the support of others or be in a position to give support to others. Caregiving can be stressful due to emotional, mental, and physical srain. If we complain and regard ourselves as a burden, it causes difficulty and hardship. If we are neglectful of our own self-care, we set up a challenge for those who have to care for us in the event we cannot care for ourselves. Within the realm of our capacity to care for ourselves, it is essential to practice a healthy lifestyle to maximize personal well-being throughout our lives. This means reframing from destructive habits detrimental to our physical well-being, changing negative self-defeating thoughts that inhibit quality living and managing our emotions to maintain satisfying relationships. As we age, it is hoped that we become wiser and more thoughtful of ourselves and others. When we are compassionate, considerate, and cultivate loving qualities, we become beautiful people to to aaround. Whether we are the giver or receiver of support, we must take care of ourselves in order to take care of others. Loving and caring for ourselves are mutually reciprocal and complimentary acts achieved by: Being healthy, peaceful, generous, and grateful for challenges. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our 'Love In Action' Practice is to focus on being your personal best to get the most out of life each day. Reflect on how you nurture and nourish your overall well-being. Examine each aspect of yourself including physical, mental, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Journal on things you would like to do and take action steps for each.

4 UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES FOR CONSCIOUS LOVING 01/30/2026

4 UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES FOR CONSCIOUS LOVING Love influences the consciousness of individuals and impacts society and the world at large. Achieving the highest level of consciousness is to live in the vibration of love, our natural state of being. As a result of our current world challenge and problems witnessed daily, we have an opportunity to enter a new era of evolution. Now, we are discerning what life is all about and what really matters. We are sorting out deep conditioned beliefs and society values that no longer reflect who we are nor serve our highest good. Love is fundamental to human existence. However, fear-based prejudices and attitudes have shaped our worldview and perceptions of ourselves. This reality is different from the reality of love. Despite our need for human bonding and social connection, our prison of suffering is created by separation, ignorance and injustice. It's time to discard outworn beliefs, become free, and raise our consciousness to the vibration of love. As referenced, love is the solution to our problems, but it is also our greatest challenge. Love is the light that shines in our hearts, the doorway to inner peace, path to Oneness, and the lamp that guides our way forward. Therefore, the meaning of love extends far beyond expressions of mere sentiments and objects of love. It is the ultimate driver of our lives. Conscious loving can be achieved by Loving yourself, Living your potential, Loving wholeheartedly, and Living by higher ideals. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action Practice is to explore whether or not you are living your potential and being and doing what you love. Are you staying in your comfort zone? Are you living your potential? Journal on these points. If you are moving forward, how have you managed to do so and how have you become resilient. If you have not, choose one thing that speaks to your heart and image how you would feel achieving your heart's desire. Take a small step toward your desire and see where it takes you.

HOW TO SEEK TRUTH AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT 01/23/2026

HOW TO SEEK TRUTH AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT The knowledge of truth is empowering and guides us to an ethical manner of living and being in the worldand guides us to purposeful living. Truth is the symbol of light and love. We are shaped by our values and beliefs that may be questioned as we become more self-aware and may find ourselves on a quest for truth to make sense of our mortal existence. Truth, defined in the Cambridge dictionary, is the quality of honesty and not containing or telling lies. Truth is important and frees us from ignorance, corruption and needless suffering. Loss of freedom is evident in misinformation and lack of truth that impinge on our personal freedom. In today's time, we are confronted with the traps of untruths that infiltrate organizations, media and other establishments and influence our beliefs and interactions with others. It leads to deceit, damaged reputations and decreased trust. Many are seeking justice and human dignity worldwide because of corruption, greed and lack of compassion. Unfortunately, we witness leadership motivated by intense craving for power and greed that lead to self-destruction and harm to others. The self-centeredness and excessive longing for acquistion and material gain at any cost, may be the result of maladaptive behaviors and unresolved feelings that cannot be fulfilled outwardly. This behavior is demonstrated in all facets of socity where truth is sacrificed for personal favors and gain with no regard for human welfare. Truth always prevail. Seek, hear, learn and love it. Truthfulness matters to society as a whole and enables us to grow and learn from life experiences. Truth can be achieved by the following five strategies: Be sincere, Adopt a critical thinking mindset, Be your own yardstick, Keep a healthy balance and Live your truth. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our 'Love In Action Practice' practice is to live your truth. Journal on your beliefs and values. How do they make you feel? How are you living? What are you saying?

7 KEYS TO SPIRITUAL FREEDOM How does it feel to be free? What does freedom mean to you? How can you truly be free?Freedom is essential to our human nature and a condition for happiness and well-being. Liberty and true happiness are paramount to moral living. Trapped in fear and abandoning feedom, we create our own prison.

EMBODY LOVE AND SUSTAIN THE CHANGE: PATIENCE, AN INGREDIENT OF LOVE 10/02/2025

EMBODY LOVE AND SUSTAIN THE CHANGE: PATIENCE, AN INGREDIENT OF LOVE Love is not something new to learn. We are love at our core. Love is inherent and the essence of who we truly are. Due to deep conditioned fear and faulty beliefs, we forget our truth. Lift yourself by embodying the higher ideals of love to achieve self-mastery. Becoming the master of your self is the ultimate empowerment that requires awareness and practice. Our thoughts and feeling determine our state of being. Knowing your truth, you appreciate your uniqueness and emulate your divine self. The mind is unruly, it will set you back if you are not alert. Each present moment is an opportunity to reclaim your power. The power that lies within frees you from external forces that diminish your capacity to love. Sustain the change with practice (mental alertness, monitoring our thoughts, feelings and actions). Then express yourself in a different way, which is self-reinforcing. Dr. Jean Marie shares the "Wholistic Model of Love", adopted from Henry Drummond, who analyzed love that includes nine ingredients in her assessment of the "Recipe of Love": Patience, humility, generosity, courtesy, kindness, unselfishness, good temper, guilessness and sincerity. These make up the supreme gift but all must be practiced to demonstrate love. Dr. Jean Marie highlights the ingredient of love, 'Patience', and the outcomes. She poses reflective questions for consideration. The Love in Action practice is to journal on Patience, what it means personally, what it feels like when you are and are not being patient with yourself and others. Journal on the benefits and outcomes. Change is challenging and it takes practice to be your best self. When you get off track, do not be discouraged but be gentle with yourself. Each moment of the day we are making choices. The closing excerpt is "CHOOSE" with emphais on the heart of love. /episode/index/show/9935b98e-1915-4255-a5eb-b5746c1c338a/id/38447995
