Welcome to Love Affair With Thy Self: The Movement! I'm Christina Marie, I'm happy and grateful you landed on this page! Mostly, what it means to care for ourselves so our giving to others has the impact we desire it to have. If I may explain in more detail:
LOVE AFFAIR DEFINED: a feeling of great interest in and enthusiasm for something; a lively enthusiasm
LOVER: one who is fond of or devoted to something
LOVE AFFAIR WITH THYSELF: THE MOVEMENT
Love Affairs can be experienced as wildly intense or intensely powerful. They are romantic, nurturing and based on deep layers of compassion and empathy. Love is the driving force.
We get to decide how high we want to fly.
The Love Affair with Thy Self movement will be a collection of resources, tips, stories from people all over the world. From those who have learned how to have a Love Affair with Thy Self. Divided into the three pillars of Body, Mind and Spirit. Take what you want and leave the rest.
This is an invitation to become a part of the Movement. Everyone is welcome here.
Come play
"Inhaling all the love you have into your own body, mind and spirit. Exhaling anything your body, mind and spirit no longer needs."

SELF REFERRAL
An Ayurveda Perspective: The Self, as our unique natural rhythm within. The central point of our being, the hub of where our diversified selves exist. All our thoughts, feelings, speech, actions and relationships originate from inside ourselves. The whole field of interpersonal behavior can be holistically enhanced by our willingness to refer back to our own natures. Our creativity, intelligence, our happiness flowing through us and therefore, out into the quality of our existence. Each Guide has the same simple practice as it’s beginning….
The BMH One Word Mantra Daily Practice
Every morning when we rise we pause, we breath and we ask ourselves three simple questions
How does my body feel today?
What’s on my mind?
How is my heart?
Eventually, through the practice we develop the skill to streamline these three questions by placing them into a container with one word that resonates as what is true within ourselves as we rise.
Body Feels
Mind is thinking
Heart is
As it’s own daily practice, it’s okay and even expected, there will be days where we may want to return to a longer pause, as we breath and we go back to asking ourselves the original questions. This is also very helpful when we get stuck in one area, are disconnected and need a little more time to find that one word that resonates. There is no right or wrong way to do it because we are working within our own nature, our nature shifts, changes, grows, contracts, expands as life continues to unfold. Working within a Self-Referral system is a very different path.
These journals are designed in simplicity because you’re the guru here, this is just a format that gives structure and discipline.

INTRO TO ARUYVEDA
LIVING IN ALIGNMENT WITH YOUR OWN UNIQUE NATURAL RHYTHMS
Aruyveda is a wonderful way to begin to return to your own intuitive-instinctual nature. We promote this laws of nature science because it has a universal appeal, it aligns and brings together west/east medicinal approaches. It's ethical, responsible and it is always recommended for anyone who may have specific medical concerns, they speak to their doctor. It has a do no harm approach. We look for these elements before recommending anything to anyone.

SELF LOVING
A Woman’s Guide To Understanding Your Own Natural Rhythm journal is an invitation and an opportunity to remain deeply and intimately connected to your own natural rhythm through a simplistic morning journal process (with self-loving morning rituals)
Each journal offers women four consecutive months to be able to integrate and connect to who she is now.
It’s primary purpose is to keep women grounded within their Birth Right to be Self Loving aka Your Love Affair with Thy Self.
It’s a place to continue to shine your own light on yourself and your goals, hopes and dreams. Often for women, the people they love are deeply embedded in their goals, hopes and dreams. To love more, to be more gentle, more patient and to give without being depleted.
A GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO LOVE US
This guide offers parents the opportunity to respect their growing daughter’s development when her hormones begin to activate and teach siblings as well. There are plenty of pages for the girls to journal on their own with additional blank pages for creating art work, images to keep the vision of their hopes, goals and dreams alive.
For Lovers, this guide offers both people access to the growth opportunity their connection has to offer them.
Each working diligently on their own Love Affair with Themselves rather than using one another as weapons against each other. The guides have the power to generate more connection and empathy where they can move one another toward their best selves feeling empowered rather than consistently/unconsciously dis-empowering one another.
Mending fences while building bridges in reverent time.
Both guides are best served with a consult with Christina to be able to get people started.

LOVE AFFAIR WITH THY SELF: THE MOVEMENT
Taking Care of Yourself Via Ritual
“This is what rituals are for. We do spiritual ceremonies as human beings in order to create a safe resting place for our most complicated feelings of joy or trauma, so that we don't have to haul those feelings around with us forever, weighing us down. We all need such places of ritual safekeeping. And I do believe that if your culture or tradition doesn't have the specific ritual you are craving, then you are absolutely permitted to make up a ceremony of your own devising, fixing your own broken-down emotional systems with all the do-it-yourself resourcefulness of a generous plumber/poet.”
