Looking at Yourself through the Eyes of Someone Who Loves You

Outline

[Note from [ see Want more love in your life?]: The original instructions were written to use with a client; we have changed it to make it easier for you to use it yourself. You can either review all the steps and close your eyes and do the whole process without interruption, or open your eyes after completing each step and read the instructions for the next step before closing your eyes again to do the next step.]

1. Close your eyes and establish the experience of being an author who is going to write about someone special.
2. Identify someone you know loves you. If there is no one in your life presently, orient yourself to a time in the past when there was someone you were sure loved you. If you think there never was such a person, imagine what such a person would be like….
3. You are sitting looking out the window, or through a sliding glass door, at this person who loves you.
4. Take some time to describe to yourself the essential characteristics, large and small, that you realize makes that person special to you….
5. Now float out of the position you have been in, and into the body of the person who loves you, looking back at yourself….
6. Take some time to describe to yourself what you love about the person you see. Especially notice all the qualities that person might be unaware of when looking through their own eyes….
7. Leave that loving person’s body and float back into your own body, bringing along that which is valuable — feeling loved and lovable.

REPEAT the PROCESS but imagine Jesus looking at you. See yourself thru his eyes.
