Description
Dimensions of Love - year two of the SMI education
Module 7: On Appreciation
Appreciation without any reason feels deeply relaxed, open, soft, and healthy. Appreciation, that is not an appreciation of anything particular, brings a sense of self as perfectly loved and perfectly lovable. Such uncaused appreciation brings a feeling of this moment being perfect as it is. This moment is perfectly good at being exactly what it is. Because unconditioned appreciation has no cause, it can never really be lost. Resting in such appreciation dissolves any sense of being under-appreciated, undeserving of love and of having to deserve or bargain for love. It is the simple and natural flow of unconditional love.
Learning objectives
- Learning to identify the somatic ground of appreciation
- Getting familiar with the appreciation and appreciativeness
- Working with strategies for achieving appreciation
- Working with conflicts between ideals and sense of perfection

Module 8: On Nourishment, Satisfaction & Fulfilment
When you sense being, you may sense various aspects of its physicality and its effect on us. One of these aspects is that being nourishes you and brings you a deep sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. It makes your flesh feel juicy and relaxed like an infant’s. We call this aspect of being the Milk Essence and it is love in the form of nourishment. When this love fills you up, it leaves no room for feelings of hunger or neediness or feeling that scarcity of love forces you to either give up or fight to get what is yours. When this love fills you up, you naturally begin to overflow with a generosity of love, compassion, kindness, and helpfulness in your daily life.
