Everyone wants to be loved. And most of us have had difficulty not only loving others, but also loving ourselves, unconditionally. And those two are tied together very closely.
Our judgment of others is often a projection of our judgment of ourselves. So the first step in being able to connect to others with an open heart is to connect with our own self with an open heart.
We do this by first becoming aware and understanding why we judge and reject certain parts of others (and of ourselves). Once we gain clarity, we can learn to accept and love our shadow, and thus the shadow of others as well.
