I AM BOTH THE BLESSED AND THE BLESSING

After my meditation this morning, the idea of being both the one who is blessed AND the one who is blessing, stayed with me.

Normally, my routine would prioritize the needs of my family, placing my own nutritional needs last. I was very focused on serving without considering myself as part of the equation of those deserving care. However, this morning, after meditation, instead of just consuming leftovers from cooking for my family, I decided to take the time to make a nutritious breakfast just for myself.

This shift in perspective, of recognizing the importance of being blessed and also the one who is blessing, feels empowering and balanced. It’s a realization that taking care of myself with love, is also a necessary component of being able to serve others effectively. By ensuring that I am well-nourished, both physically and spiritually, I enhance my capacity to offer light and love to those around me.

I believe the act of preparing a meal just for myself with intention, is one that is both healthy and satisfying. It’s acknowledging that I am worth the time and effort, and this acknowledgment fuels my ability to be a beacon for others. It’s a beautiful, circular flow of giving and receiving, where blessing myself enhances my ability to serve.
