Single romance is about loving yourself first
What is
single romance exactly?
For
folks who are dating-minded, it's pretty much the understood view. Fun,
yummy things you can do together. Sexy things. Things that make hearts
rush and brains go mush. There are lots of free romance tips
out
there for these folks.
For folks who are single or not
dating, it means something different. Perhaps you're
coming out of a
relationship, enjoying our transitional single status. Or perhaps it's
because you haven't met your soulmate yet though you're hopeful and
open to it.
Single
romance 101: Engage fully in life!
Single romance is about loving
yourself first. One
of the best ways to romance yourself while kick-starting the law of
attraction is by choosing to fully engage in your life starting from
where you are today.
Do whatever you need to do to
genuinely feel positive anticipation, openness, readiness
and deep appreciation for what you know to be
on its way to you. An abundent life. A loving, soulmate relationship.
Whatever is important to you.
With your feet on the ground and your heart fully engaged, use the single romance tips that
resonate with you most to love yourself in this way,
while keeping one eye on the horizon.
Feeling it... when you don't
feel it
Feeling hopeful when down deep we
don't, isn't easy. We're human after all. Yet 'hoping' and
'longing' and 'wishing' actually work against the
law of attraction. 'Lower'
emotional states originate from sadness,
fear and disappointment. If this is the predominant state you're in,
what happens is that you'll end up creating more of the same - exactly
what you don't want.
Why? Because
what we pay attention to expands. And because like
attracts like.
So what we want to do
is raise our vibrations so that we attract more of what's
wonderful.
Here are some of the
favourite ways I love
myself. Hope that this article sparks some ideas for you!
How
to use these single romance ideas
Read
the ideas and see what you're drawn to. If you want to really supercharge
the attractive forces,
learn about your soul's purpose first using karmic astrology and let
that guide you. The section of this site that helps you do this
yourself is astrological
soulmate.
I've organized these
into the four elements of astrology. They're quite general, of course.
My intent is to give you some ideas and ways to use single
romance to love yourself.
Nurturing
your emotions
Water signs: Cancer,
Scorpio, Pisces
House emphasis: 4th,
8th, 12th houses
Planet emphasis: Moon,
Pluto, Neptune
Essential oils
Aromatherapy
is a lovely way to indulge in single romance. One of the things I do
each day at home is use essential oils in an oil burner. It smells
great, and introduces a
pure, vibration into your most intimate space. Lavender
oil is healing and easy to find.
Rose oil attracts love and is a more
expensive indulgence. The company I recommend is RoseOtto.com.
Rose Otto oil is a beautiful and potent essential oil which is steam
distilled. You only need one drop to fill a room with beautiful scent. I'm picky and this is the only rose oil that I recommend
for my Soulmate DNA clients. It's frequency is so high, that it cannot
be measured.

Ahh
water
I
sit by open water whenever I can. When I do, I feel my heart expand. When I can't make it to the lake,
I enjoy water fountains which are encouraged by feng shui
practitioners.
Where can you bring water
into your home?
Consider an aquarium or images of water. Choose images and symbols that
you feel emotionally drawn to and calmed by. Use a meditation recording
with rushing water for a nurturing single romance experience.
Meditation
Speaking
of meditation, it slows you down, calms
your heart and
connects you with your own and the collective unconscious. It's a
healthy and creative activity which helps you engage in your life and
open yourself to possibilities. I
use Holosync meditation every day (complete with the sounds of rushing
water) and it's quite wonderful.
Embracing
intuition, courage, serendipity
Fire signs: Aries,
Leo, Saggitarius
House emphasis: 1st,
5th, 9th houses
Planet emphasis: Mars,
Sun, Jupiter
Candles
at home
How do you use candles in your
home?
I use them every day, especially as I work, or at night as the day's
energy settles. They're one of my favourite single romance ideas and so
simple! I
suggest pure unscented candles or beeswax or soy candles if you are
able to invest. Really
want to indulge?
Find a store connected to a church, temple or synagogue. They have the
purest beeswax candles that are often for sale to the public. Read
about church candles at Cathedral
Candle.
Travel
How many couples do you know who
met on an airplane? Or while on vacation? Getting out
there, following your intuition and travel might be just the nudge your
soulmate needs.
Some single romance ideas for the travel-minded (more to come):
- Guided tours for singles
- Adventure vacations
- Hobby vacations
- Eco-vacations
- Singles or theme cruises
- Spa vacations
Career,
work and manifestation
Earth signs: Taurus,
Virgo and Capricorn
House emphasis: 2nd,
6th and 10th houses
Planet emphasis: Mars,
Sun, Jupiter
Career-focus?
Work
may not appear like a juicy topic, but think of it this way.
Some folks have a soul path with a career focus. Really! So for some,
focusing on your career is more likely to boomerang into your romantic
life.
So, do you love your job?
Are you continually rewarded by it? Does it energize you? Don't fight
it! Discover the satisfaction. Do good work. If your soul path is in
the workplace, it'll make it that much easier for your soulmate to find
and recognize you when he slips into your life.
Or... are you continually facing
obstacles around your job? Climbing
the corporate ladder, only to find everything collapsing? Then perhaps
a work focus isn't your path (found this out the hard way for me). Discover more about your
soul purpose at astrological
soulmate.
Practical
creativity
Here's
another single romance idea. The earth signs, especially Taurus are
practically creative. Growing flowers, planting a herb garden
fall into this category. So does photography
and creating a sensuous home environment.
Curiosity
and lifelong learning
Air signs: Gemini,
Libra, Aquarius
House emphasis: 3rd,
7th and 11th houses
Planet emphasis:
Mercury, Venus, Uranus
If
you have prominent air signs, like Gemini, Aquarius or Libra make sure
you indulge in your curiosities as part of your routine.
Read, take courses, join
groups, learn! Perhaps
your interests are yoga, golf, politics or the environment. Or maybe
you want to going back to school to be a journalist.
No matter! You
know that a meeting of
the minds is as compelling as a meeting of the bodies.
If you have an air emphasis, or especially if you have an air soul
path, love yourself with single romance by following your curiosities
and the issues that mean the most to you.
Health
and beauty
OK,
maybe I could squeeze this section into astrology, but why? Finding
ways to be healthy and feel great about ourselves is for everyone. Some of my fav healthy single
romance tips below.
Make-up
just for you
One
of my closest friends Suzanne is a makeup artist, and she helped pick
my make-up colours. Wow,
the freedom! I
highly recommend paying a knowlegable professional to help you with
this highly personalized single romance idea. I still go bare-faced
most of the time, but when I dress up it really works!
In Toronto? Hire
Suzanne for a make-up lesson, events, a special date - or a
wedding. Check out
her work - it's exquisite.
Professional
brows
Pay
someone to do your brows professionally. Really. This inexpensive tip
opens eyes without invasive techniques and really makes a difference.
A fun, easy workout
This
single romance tip is about loving your body. Want
more energy in less time? Want to have fun? Get a mini-trampoline. I'm not
kidding! Exercise
and de-tox all in one. NASA has actually done studies on its benefits.
No excuses - you can get one for $40 at WalMart. Benefits of rebounding
Indulge in good skin care
I'm
picky and have tried all kinds of expensive professional skin products.
Recently, I changed to Consonant which is organic. Feels
wonderful and it's a Canadian creation, like me. :-) Not
multi-level-marketing. A single romance idea that
helps you feel great every day.
Hope
you found ways to love yourself using single romance!
