“You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment. In that insight of inter-being, it is possible to have real communication with the Earth, which is the highest form of prayer.”

How Do I Love Myself?
In order to love yourself, you must first let go of your self image. Because that is not you, rather it is an idea of you. Loving it or hating it really doesn’t do anything cause it’s a thought. But you think it does cause you believe it’s you. That’s why it’s an illusion.
So, you have a few things to do. Firstly, come to see yourself as you are rather than as you imagine yourself to be. This is done with a combination of mindful self observation, patience, and forgiveness. You are wearing a protective mask that obscures your vision of yourself. By intentionally paying attention to yourself without judging what you see, you start to essentially bring clarity to your self-seeing. Whenever you judge yourself or others, interrupt the process and be forgiving and compassionate. Meditation helps with this process because you practice directing awareness where you want it to go, which is useful for interrupting patterns of behavior.
Next, See that you are deserving of love and compassion. If something (ego) tells you otherwise, examine it without immediately agreeing with it. Have a good look at it’s source. Likely it will be based on fear. Anytime fear is the cause of an action, thought, or belief, it is important to remember that fear distorts the truth. It is unreliable as a compass for navigating this. With that in mind, remember to never move just because fear tells you to do so. Fear alone is no longer enough. If it is wise, if it is compassionate, then go for it.
And finally: having patience with yourself, being gentle with yourself, helping yourself grow by dropping off attachments and behavioral patterns, this is how you will love yourself

“Ordinary seeds need the right combination of soil, water, and climate to grow. Once those conditions are in alignment, the seed will naturally begin to develop. The seed of Buddha Nature is the same. It will lie dormant until the right conditions come together. But once we discover this potential within us, we can water our seed with loving kindness and prepare its bed with mindfulness. When we do so, the growth of the seed of awakening will be effortless and natural.”

“In studying ourselves, we find the harmony that is our total existence. We do not make harmony. We do not achieve it or gain it. It is there all the time. Here we are, in the midst of this perfect way, and our practice is simply to realize it and then to actualize it in our everyday life.”

“To know another human being in their essence, you don’t really need to know anything about them - their past, their history, their story. We confuse knowing about with a deeper knowing that is non-conceptual. Knowing about and knowing are totally different modalities. One is concerned with form, the other with the formless. One operates through thought, the other through stillness.”
