What would it look like to be your own Valentine?
Would you buy yourself flowers? Make a delicious meal and savor every bite? Light candles for a shimmery mood and massage your skin with sacred touch? Draw a bath and fill it to the brim with soothing herbs and scent?
The touchstones of romance are the foundations of a devotional practice. You can be your own best lover, babe. This week we're leaning deeply into the concept of romanticizing ourselves, using the magic of Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day to heighten and expand the space we take up in
naming our pleasure.
Let sensations, activities, and textures that bring you joy guide your
decisions over the next few days. These sensual experiences are a truly powerful way to constantly tap into your intuition, creating pleasure and a unique way to tap into your personal magic. Even though we live in a time where not every aspect of our daily lives can be pleasurable,
we can strive to incorporate pleasure into every part of our lives. Treat your body like the sacred Altar it is - worship yourself like you would a lover, be soft with your petals like a new flower, and understand you have the same strength as a rooted tree.
Let this week move slowly, and let it be about witnessing,
moving curiously, and shaking off a desire to rush.
