So often I hear “I don’t have time for myself.” These clients end up spending hours, days and years cleaning up the mess they could have prevented had they taken the time to “do the work.”

My process since being a young woman has been to read and journal about what I read as a way of becoming conscious. Often I have taught classes from some of the books such as Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss and Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

Part of the motivation for writing my book Living Intuitively: Journal the Wisdom of your Soul came from my personal growth experiences. Using the chakra system as the structure for gaining information and using Soul Stems (writing prompts) you are able to access your intuition and begin to trust yourself to make the best decisions.

Chakra Four – The Heart Chakra
Self Love
So often your perception of yourSelf comes from how others have seen and treated you as a child. As young children you are not only vulnerable, you are impressionable and make decisions early on about your worth. You emulate those around us and attempt to get your needs met for love and belonging. This can set up a belief about yourSelf that will ultimately change with experiences and attitudes you have throughout your life. The generation in which you were raised and your culture also affects your view of yourSelf and self-love.
What I believe about myself is . . .
The biggest trauma I experienced was . . .
If I forgive (name) I am afraid . . .
I long to open my heart, but . . .
I still need to heal the memory of . . .
I use my past to sabotage myself by . . .
What I value about myself is . . .
Enjoy!
Testimonial
Candess Campbell has written a book that anyone can use to develop their intuition and their health. So often our early childhood programming has sublimated our intuition, and with it our health. Live Intuitively suggests “soul stems” for us to use to journal. Observations on the chakras, and their impact on your physical, chemical and emotional health can be added to your soul stem to create a personalized tool. Her journaling process will take you back through layers of consciousness to get in touch with your original mind, your intuition.
Live Intuitively is a guidebook. It is clear and simple. Best of all, once you reach your destination with a soul stem, there is another stem waiting for you. The book could last a lifetime, because our journey back to our intuitive self always lasts a lifetime. Recommended for seekers everywhere.

Self Love and Acceptance is critical for feeling complete, in my opinion.
These are some great questions to ask yourself, Candess. I can see how this process of releasing and forgiving and asking these questions can lead to great relief.
Self love is so important and unfortunately not often achieved.
I have seen Carolyn Myss before in one of the Celebrate Your Life Events. It is interesting you are talking about past wounds as a child. This was delved into a lot in the Landmark Forum I have taken recently. Indeed, they create an imprint in one’s life.
Lorii, I first took the Landmark Forum in the mid 1990s and really love their work! My whole career has been about helping clients with childhood wounds and trauma and more of course. The Advanced Forum focuses on community. Enjoy!
Hi Candess, I have never heard of soul stems before, but what a true concept. I think people worry that self love is selfish, when in fact it is the opposite. It models to those around us especially if we have children that self care is critical. I feel women tend to put themselves at the bottom of this list of self care, but what are we modelling to our children if we do not take care of ourselves. Thanks for the article
I totally agree Alison. Also, Soul Stems are writing prompts I created when I facilitated a group helping participants develop their intuition. We are all beautiful Souls!
Totally agree with the childhood perceptions. Once fat . . But, we can overcome. Helpful tips here!
Agree, very true, that the perception we have of ourselves is all based on how people in our childhood viewed us. And often it takes a lot of struggle to get away from that circle.
These are very insightful questions, Candess. Sounds like an awesome book!
Great article. Self confidence and caring about yourself it’s critically important. It’s difficult to be successful on the outside if you don’t care for yourself on the inside .
It is amazing how self-love is affected by your culture and the generation in which you grew up culture too. I bet your book is very resourceful.
