Hello, beautiful souls!
As we settle into September, I’m so excited to share the affirmation card I pulled for this month: “I am a spirit having a human experience, and I’m here to get closer to love.” This powerful statement has truly resonated with me, and I’m eager to explore what it means for all of us as we navigate this journey together.
Honoring Our Spiritual Essence
The first part of the affirmation reminds us of our true nature: “I am a spirit.” In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to get caught up in our roles, responsibilities, and the endless to-do lists. However, at our core, we are spiritual beings vibrant, infinite, and connected to something greater than ourselves. Acknowledging this essence allows us to tap into our inner wisdom, strength, and creativity.
Understanding ourselves as spirits helps us approach our experiences with a sense of curiosity and wonder. It invites us to remember that we are more than our jobs, relationships, or social status. We are divine sparks of light, here to shine and share our unique gifts with the world.
Embracing the Human Experience
The affirmation continues with “having a human experience.” This acknowledges that we are here in physical form, navigating the complexities of life on Earth. Being human means experiencing a wide range of emotions joy, sorrow, love, fear, anger, all of which are essential parts of our growth.
Rather than trying to bypass the challenging aspects of life, this affirmation encourages us to embrace them. It reminds us that every experience, whether positive or negative, offers an opportunity for learning, healing, and transformation. By allowing ourselves to feel fully, we cultivate empathy, resilience, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.
The Path to Love
Finally, the affirmation declares, “and I’m here to get closer to love.” This is the heart of the message, reminding us that love is our ultimate purpose. Love encompasses so much compassion, kindness, acceptance, and connection. It’s not just romantic love; it’s the universal force that binds us together.
Choosing to “get closer to love” means making a conscious effort to cultivate love in every aspect of our lives. It means treating ourselves with gentleness and self-compassion, extending kindness to others, and approaching the world with an open heart. This path may not always be easy, but it is the most fulfilling journey we can embark on.
Living the Affirmation
As we move through September, let’s integrate this affirmation into our daily lives:
1. Morning Ritual: Start each day by reciting the affirmation aloud or in your mind. Visualize yourself as a radiant spirit, embracing your human experience, and moving closer to love.
2. Mindful Moments: Throughout the day, pause and ask yourself, “How can I approach this situation with more love?” This simple question can shift your perspective and guide your actions.
3. Acts of Kindness: Engage in small acts of kindness, whether it’s offering a compliment, helping a stranger, or simply listening with an open heart.
4. Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with the same love and understanding you would offer a dear friend. Recognize your worth and embrace your imperfections.
5. Gratitude: Take time each evening to reflect on the ways you experienced love throughout the day. Express gratitude for these moments, both big and small.
“I am a spirit having a human experience, and I’m here to get closer to love” is a beautiful reminder of our true nature and purpose. It invites us to embrace our spiritual essence, navigate our human experiences with grace, and choose love in every moment.
Thank you for joining me on this exploration. Let’s make September a month of love, connection, and profound personal growth. I am so grateful to share this journey with you.
as always, love and hugs ,
