Want to live a more joyful, fulfilling life? One of the best things you can do is to learn to love yourself. Most of us have been taught to treat ourselves with disdain and criticism. Yet within you is a wellspring of love that, when you discover how to tap into it, will increase your compassion, creativity, and joy. This book will lead you on a gentle journey to greater self-love and confidence. This voyage along the garden path will include releasing your negative-self talk, healing old wounds, learning sacred movement, and discovering your intrinsic worthiness. You'll let go of the need for external validation and uncover a deep source of unconditional love. In the process, you'll explore your unique creative talents, figure out who you really are (and who you're not), and learn healthy ways to live in community. As you begin to walk the path of self-confident spirituality, you will naturally attract more of the people, situations, and experiences that you desire. The challenges that arise will lead you to even further self-awareness. You'll discover the joy of being in love with yourself, and with life. As this happens, your life will shift. You'll spend more of your time doing the things you love, and loving the things you do. Step into the garden, and expand the borders of your closest relationship: the one with yourself
