What does conscious self-love feel like? That is a good question, so settle back as we explore the answer briefly. The first thing to do is to say this: I choose to love myself. Only five words.
When I say it, the first thing that happens is that I am now aware of my breath. That is all there is—the next breath and the next, etc.
The very statement wipes out the mind and its rumination, but not for long, unless you keep saying it.
Listen to the silence as you continue to say “I choose to love myself.” Everything has stopped inwardly.
Feel free to look around the room as you continue to say “I choose to love myself.”
Whatever you see is yourself.

I did as you suggested, and after a short while, attention shifted from the head to the center-chest area, and the experience felt was a calmness that gave the impression of radiating outward, and the phrase “I choose to love myself” became a knowing-sensation:-To choose to love myself is to feel that love.
Vicki, thank you for that, definitely something I will explore further. And, it can be done for a few minutes or for whatever time period feels right/comfortable.🙂
Yes, there is power in that sentence.
