Descriptions:
Self-love is a hugely important concept in the context of expanded consciousness and “inner child work”. As distinguished from selfishness, which is ego-based and without regard for others or for one’s best self, self-love is a manifestation of heart-consciousness. We have an enhanced awareness of our own lived experiences and compassion for our once innocent selves. The longings and pain that have been generated out of loss, misattunements, abuse, and fear are ours to resolve. This is the soul work we have come here to do.
This presentation will be relevant for all participants and will draw on what we know from NDEs and STEs, Law of Attraction, Psychosocial and Spiritual Developmental theory, Past-life Regression and Soul Retrieval work, and Soul-Purpose work such as presented in the 2014 Conference keynote by Rob Schwartz.

Self-love is also a hugely Western concept and varies culture to culture. Let that sink in.
About psychopaths: the ones that aren't pathological psychopaths are doing well: they're integrated in society have families, and do constructive things, for example: James Fallon; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOjykLQAdaE . Case closed!
Such important information!
This is a great video filled with wonderful wisdom! Thank you for sharing it, IANDS!
Really helpful!
All NDErs talk about the importance of love, this video really helped me to focus on the importance of self-love. Thank you Rebecca!
Great talk!!! Thanks
The belief that consciousness is merely a brain function arises in ignorance of the "Literal Present"; i.e, how long is the present? If what's already happened belongs to the past, what's yet to happen belongs to the future, and what's happening right now belongs to the present–then we must ask, how much "time" passes between present and future: A year…a week…a day…a nanosecond? Logically, there is zero time! Too short for anything physical to occur. Not even the orbit of an electron around an atom! So then, if not in a physical universe, where is the experience of life? Only in Consciousness, the timeless here and now, the ultimate singularity, comprising an infinity of multiverses and all life lived and yet to be lived. Here is the home of eternal Soul, which many visit in a near death experience.
Healthy self-love is self-caring.
Love you, Rebecca
I don't quite agree with her ideas. I think many people are selfish and have self-love. Then there are people who are selfish and don't have self-love. Then there are probably spiritually evolved people who have self-love and are not selfish. I don't see how just loving yourself, without having a way to support yourself can work in society. I suppose some women who truly loved having children and were supported by their husbands could fall in that category, of not having to find a way to make a living. Basically most of us are tied into the corporate world to make a living. Lastly, I think she could have gone into more detail about healing the inner child, how exactly do you do that, other than seeing a therapist?
Isn’t that funny that there is no
one that comes back from an NDE Saying: “God told me or Jesus told me that if you don't accept Jesus as your savior you are going to hell'. Or tell them that they can only go to heaven trough Jesus.” That is really scary for these
Radical Christian, and they get angry that is why they post these hateful
messages, they are no different than the people that put Christ on the Cross,because he was not telling them what they wanted to hear.Yes! and a snake talked to Eva, and Eva talk to the snake , isn’t that laughable and an insult to the intelligence and wisdom of God , Ho wait and the Earth is only 6 thousand years old, and God created the universe in six days. And the bearded
man with the son Jesus they are both sitting on the throne, waiting for us.
Actually now God is nothing anymore because Jesus the Son told us that we can only go to the father if he agrees, so,he is in charge now and God has no power
anymore. Fundamentalist are so narrow minded that yes will believe in Santa. These are the people Jesus warned his disciples not to talk about the mysteries, you know the pearls to the pigs.
By the way I do believe in Jesus and his mission and that he is a son of God just has we all are. The bible was written for uneducated people living in a desert That is why Jesus had to resort to say things in parable to the crowds because they were not intelligent enough to understand his esoteric message and the bible is written the same way in addition it has been misinterpreted and lost through the dark ages. But noooo wait it is written by God!
Excellent!
This is one of the most articulate and thoughtful talks on self love I have heard. Thank you for sharing it.
A very well done presentation. (…and a well lived, well done life by the presenter.)
Law of attraction is not to be used for the self
DID is multiple personality
I have extreme DID from being tortured in early childhood newborn to age six. I would be willing to allow study of me . I have seizures that replicate exactly what happened. I occasionally turn into a small child.. Been this way nearly 17 years
I very much enjoy this presentation. I wish this lady lived near me, I would go see her.
Glad to see that as a psychiatrist she is open to see the world in a non-reductionist non-atomistic model and she is not afraid to use a meaningful "soul-full" language
Beautiful talk! I'm an NDEr, and I know that God wants us to value and treasure our lives and honor other's journeys. I especially like the parts about healing and forgiveness. I like Caroline Myss and her discussion or archetypes too.
Amazingly knowledgeable presenter! She helped save my life!
thank you for posting this! ❤
