Self-Love: Power to Heal
Jasbina Ahluwalia asks Heather Hans, author of The Heart of Self-Love: That is really profound. I see that all the time when working with clients.
I think we’re evidence seekers. Our beliefs are co-creating our realities. If that is one’s world view, that is going to filter everything around us.
You said that self-love will heal the world. Tell us about that. That’s a lofty statement. I agree with you.

Self-Love: Power to Heal the World
I do believe that self-love can heal the world.
If every single person took responsibility for their mental, physical and spiritual well-being and loved their whole selves, they wouldn’t tolerate war and violence for long.
Power to Heal, State of Love
When you’re in a state of love, there are still conflicts that arise in the world around you, but life carries on. It doesn’t last for long when you’re in that state. You find a way to resolve it.
Power to Heal, State of Depress
When someone is not in that state, when someone is depress, anxious or not taking care of themselves and a conflict arises in the outside world, they can dwell on it or engage in the conflict with the other person.
Again, it’s simple but it’s not easy. It’s a moment-by-moment practice.
Power to Heal: Anti-War
When you find yourself with the goal of love and being loving towards yourself, you will not tolerate war. It goes against love.
Whenever there is a war on the outside, there is a war going on inside of you.
Power to Heal: Conflict
Let’s say that you have a conflict with a friend, acquaintance or co-worker and they do something that upsets you.
It’s a mini war going on. If you dwell on it and get really angry or engage in the conflict with them, it just keeps agitating you. But when you say, “How can I use this experience to become more self-loving?” you’re immediately focused on resolving the conflict.
That works on a macro scale, too. We can resolve huge national wars this way if everyone were to begin with themselves.
