By now you've heard me say over and over again that the first step to true love is self love. It is important to have a good sense of self and to develop a healthy dose of self esteem. Once you have done the hard work to accept and love yourself just the way you are... chances are you'll be ready to move on and seek the love of another person. The Course in Miracles teaches us that there is no such thing as a "special love", only one unconditional love. Yet, we are compelled to partner up and share our lives with another person as we walk through the joys and pain of life. So, how can you find that person? That's what I'll be talking about in Soulism 8 and then I'll move on to a playlist of some great love songs. I close with a soothing heart chakra meditation meant to bring more happiness into your life! I hope you enjoy!

Playlist:

Lecture
My Love is Your Love – Whitney Houston
Best of My Love- The Emotions
Song For You- Herbie Hancock featuring Christina Aguilera
Holding Back the Years- Simply Red
Let’s Get Lifted- John Legend
A Love So Fine- Blackbyrds

Meditation

Podcast Summary

My take on "this thing called love" complete with a playlist of R&B tunes to celebrate and navigate through the ups and downs of romanctic life. Plus... an added bonus of what I like to call a soothing "sound bath"... which is a relaxation technique via guided meditation and healing music.

I can't remember a time when music wasn't a part of my life. I've marked every single important time in my life with a song. I'm always amazed at how a song can trigger a memory or invoke an emotion. The Soulism Sounds podcasts are designed to explore those emotions that pull on our heartstrings when you are in love, out of love and somewhere in between. I started this series because, music brought me through my last heartache and I wanted others to have one, singularly focused place to tap into those great R&B love songs. The series isn't all about sad love songs. There's joy in love as well and I hope to communicate that through music. I remember my very first record and it just happened to be a love song. It was Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". I was too young to really know the meaning behind what he was talking about but it remains one of my favorite songs. My favorite song of all time is The Ohio Players tune "This Must Be Heaven." It's my favorite song, not so much because of the words or music... which by the way are amazing... but because it reminds me of the best summer of my teenage years. I even have a photo of myself holding that album. Like I said, I can't remember a time when music wasn't a part of my life. When I was younger I wanted to become a singer but my parents talked me out of it. So, I went into television production and my first TV job, of course, was at a music video network. While working at BET I was able to combine my love of music with my love of entertainment and television production. Now, as a broadcaster with over 25 years experience I continue to work in my field while exploring my "true purpose" in life. I love to write and I am working on my first book and documentary film. I love hanging out on podOmatic and being able to voice my own point of view. Leave me a comment if you like what you hear.
