SoulCollage®
SoulCollage®, created by Seena Frost, is a reflective process that opens the door into your intuition. Through collage, you create a deck of cards that resonate deeply with you, and use them as a guide to life's questions.

How would your life be different if you loved yourself and your body?
You may have mistakenly thought that your problem is your body. It is not.
Changing your outsides has never been the solution. The problem has been your inability up to this point, to know without a doubt that you are acceptable, valuable, worthwhile, and lovable exactly as you are in this moment.
Any problems you may have with accepting your body are a reflection of past faulty beliefs, and can be reversed through the process of self–acceptance and love.
We are in desperate need of creating more love in this world. You may have felt powerless in the past to do anything about our state of affairs. Today you have the power to begin where you can; with yourself, in this safe, supportive family called The Love Warrior Community.
My intention is for us to be co–creators of a new community devoted to Love. Thank you for joining me on this journey of Self–Love!
Self–Love Blog
Join The Monthly Self-Love Writing Challenge
The Love Warrior Community has a group self-love blog. You can submit your self-love writing to be posted on the blog and you could read others' contributions and their self-love journey.
Each month we have a new theme as a guide to our self-love posts. You don't have to follow the theme, but can if you feel inspired to. Our January theme was the 10-Minute Self-Love Writing Challenge. Our goal was to write daily 10 minute self-love posts. Our February theme was What Would Love Do? Our March theme was about passion, and our April theme is about catching our critical thoughts and changing them.
Read more about our monthly self-love writing themes and check out our directory of posts dating back from our first writing challenge in January.
You can also scroll through and read the current self-love posts.
Here is an excerpt from one of this month's self-love posts about passion:This evening I spent hour after hour trying to catch up on work as I am recovering from being sick for almost a month. I am almost caught up and it feels like a great relief.
Self–Love would tell me I need to finish my work in the morning and give my body a rest, as it does so much for me. My passion would tell me to push through so I will have more time to do things tomorrow.
Passion can be a tricky thing — so tonight I play with the muse of the trickster telling me I am passionate about my work and want to complete it because I deeply care about myself and client's. I also know that my new found passion is learning to love and take care of myself and hopefully one day be passionately in love with myself.
Tonight I chose this passion to self–love and go to bed over the other as I know self care must come before any other to re–fuel my spirit and soul. Tonight I leave you with the lyrics from a unknown artist …

Body Forgiveness Letter
Dear self,
There's not really a good place to begin to apologize for all the shit that I put you(me) through. I'm sorry for many, many things – indulging in snacks a bit too much, the constant pushing you to keep going (even when you're exhausted), and my own mentality as well. …
