No matter what hardships happen in life, there is always a gift within for our Higher Good. Recognizing the gift often takes shifting one's perspective in order to see it. Melinda will give us insight on how to do so. This time, in speaking about gratitude and finding the beauty in what's been broken, Melinda uses the analogy of 'kintsugi'. Kintsugi, which means joining with gold, is a Japanese art form in which broken ceramics are repaired by using a bonding material made with gold. Since no two objects shatter in the same way, the result of each repaired item is beautifully unique. Just as 'kintsugi' transforms broken pottery into a one-of-a-kind piece of art, gratitude allows us to see the beauty that arises from overcoming our individual challenges. Both teach us that beauty can be found in the midst of brokenness, and that there is strength and resilience in acknowledging and honoring our past struggles. Just as the practice of 'kintsugi' creates a more valuable item than before, so does gratitude shift our focus to recognizing and appreciating our distinctive, precious selves.
Love Light inspires you to cultivate a lifestyle of living in the spirit of love, based on the premise of wholehearted connections through worthiness. Disempowering fear-based conditioning compels masses of people to live in the shadow of fear compounded with thoughts and feelings of not being good enough, undeserving and unworthy. Our thoughts and feelings about love affect all area of our lives. We are worthy and an empowered self is a loving self. My personal mission of altruistic and heart-centered living is grounded in the power of love to become authentic, overcome unworthiness, and transform our lives. You will gain a new perspective on the meaning of love, engage in authentic expressions of love and strengthen and embody the practice of love for yourself and others in your daily life. Our guests are an integral part of our show, and share their expertise, gifts and resources, Fridays at 9 AM Pacific on VoiceAmerica Empowerment.
