Connecting to the Divine via Self-Reflective Meditation
 

Relationship experts agree that Loving, Valuing and Connecting to Our-Self is the first step towards loving, valuing and connecting to anyone else, be it family, friend, neighbour, stranger or even, for Christians, the Trinity of Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit, for Judeo-Christians, God and, for Muslims, Allah. When connecting to, and loving, ourself is based on our abilities, achievements, authority, knowledge, power, job status, social status, comparison with others, being a victim or having a sense of control, we have what some authorities call "false self-esteem" or "pride-based self-esteem". These sources of self-esteem are fragile - being rooted in transient earthly phenomena. When we can connect to our soul, via compassion, non-narcissistic self-love, self-care and self-remembrance, we become aware of the beautiful, loving, compassionate and sensitive "God-spark", "Buddha nature" or "Christ energy" within us. In the Hindu spiritual tradition this process is called self-realization. Via this divine internal connection we can uncover and powerfully connect to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Buddha, Saints, Sages, Prophets, Angels or to "God" in the deep meditative stillness within us which is our divine heritage.
