Partner Exercise

 When the facilitator during the class gives this exercise to the group in the room, you may participate in this exercise in a variety of ways:

If you are participating on the Internet by yourself you can:

write answers to the questions in your journal

OR

talk the answers to the questions out loud

OR

answer the questions inwardly.

If you are participating on the Internet with a partner, you can do the exercise together, taking turns asking and answering the questions, and switching roles when directed by the facilitator.

If you are participating on the Internet in a group, you can choose one partner to do the exercise with, taking turns asking and answering the questions, and switching roles when directed by the facilitator.

                     1.     Describe an aspect of yourself that you find difficult to love.

                     2.     Is there any consideration, hesitation, or reason not to be loving that you

                     could give up?

3.     How could you love and better care for this aspect of yourself?

4.     Now close your eyes, put your hands on your heart, and open to the Living Love inside of you.  (pause)

Take in a deep breath and breathe in Living Love.  As you exhale, breathe out negativity.  (pause)

Say to yourself:  “I love me anyway.”  (pause)

Experience Living Love flowing through you.

5.     Put a smile on your face and love in your eyes.  Looking through the eyes of Living Love, how do you see this aspect of yourself?

6.     Listening from the Living Love inside of you, what is your spiritual heart’s guidance to you?
