Though this article has been written for Twin Flames, this is still an amazing read for the rest, as the underlying messages will still resonate at heart. The teachings will fit everyone no matter at what stage of your Soul’s Journey you are presently at the moment.

What instigated me to write this article has been my own recent self-injures. It led me to think on a deeper level regarding some of the underlying messages that were conveyed, and as a Twin Flame Teacher, I received my insights. Last year I wrote my article on how Twin Flames provide clues regarding the connection. If you haven’t read it, you can do so here. Valentine’s Day can be tiresome for many Twin Flames especially when marketing media over romanticizes the occasion. Unfortunately there is not much one can do over this matter but what you can do herein forth is that you can change your entire outlook on how to view occasions such as this. You can either mope and cry about your situation or come out as a winner. If this is where you are, then keep reading as I walk you through various self- introspections.

As mentioned earlier, I lately went through various form of self-induced injuries, which got me thinking on another level regarding why we sometimes self-destruct ourselves without even realizing it. This is often deriving from self-love or lack of feeling worthy. Before I dive into what I mean, let’s take a look at my injuries.

Injuries

While shopping in a store, my left thigh ended up hitting corner of a table that resulted in a severe bruise for ten days. Shortly a week after my first injury, I had same injury again.

While bending down to pick something from the floor, I hit table corner on my left eye. My impact was minor but I felt the pinch. I have never received a blow on my eye so this was definitely interesting. Immediately paranoia kicked in about my skin turning into a bruise. As I began inspecting, I could see faint bruising was forming so I opted for an icepack. With use of an icepack, unfortunately it made it far worse as I saw the area going redder. Going through this experience conjured a question in my mind on how battered women must feel afterwards.

First, they are tending to the assault wound to disguise it and later they are trying to cover up the story based on guilt, shame and feeling that they somehow deserved it. This is a different feeling than when the opposite sex gets a blow on their eye, often from a brawl fight but at least on some situations it’s an equal display of fair match. Regardless of gender, the above situation and feeling is the same. I recall a male friend many years ago who had three serious relationships in which the women were physically abusive to him. In his case, he also felt helpless because his reasoning’s were that even if he tried to protect himself, because of his gender, he feared upon being backfired. As you can see, gender has nothing to do with people inflicting abuse.

Recently after hitting my toes on objects repeatedly through the day, suddenly it dawned me on my next article topic regarding self love and self care. Often we tend to look outside of ourselves for love, be it our romantic interest, family or friends when it should really begin with self. Unfortunately, this has been our false programming from our family lineage down along with societal conditioning.
