Marriage vows: a commitment to myself and to humanity

by Michelle Sheldrake, 43 years old, Brisbane, Australia

Over the weekend I attended our regular Esoteric Women’s group in Brisbane. During the course of our discussions on beauty and the ideals we are surrounded by, Natalie Benhayon* shared that women – instead of being married to their roles or to ideals and beliefs, their families and so on – might actually consider first getting married to themselves!….. their own marriage vows.

This struck a very powerful note with me as I’d had an Esoteric Ovary Massage with Natalie that very morning and had realised how much and how far I had moved away from my true essence (or true self), which I was now feeling very strongly.

When I got home some very clear ‘marriage vows’ came to me so I spent some time over the weekend letting the words evolve, and then in a quiet moment I took the time to sit with myself, looking in the mirror, and I got married to ME. Simple, and so very healing.

Let’s all get married to the most amazing person in our life – ourselves!

What marriage vows would you make to yourself?

MARRIAGE VOWS

  • I Michelle, choose you, Michelle, to be my true partner for the rest of my life
  • To love, honour, cherish and nurture you for the amazing and beautiful woman that you are
  • And forsaking you for no others; nor any belief, ideal or expectation
  • My commitment to you is a commitment to humanity –

To feel, accept and honour the love that I truly am and express this equally to all

  • To not hold back the wisdom and power that comes from the deep stillness within me, from my very essence
  • To take all of who I am to the world and express wholeheartedly in every moment
  • To continue developing openness and honesty with myself and others 
  • To celebrate the joy of this life through laughter, song, play, true service, and relationships
  • To enjoy and look after the body I am blessed with. 

And some final words: Natalie Benhayon, thank you for your continued love, healing and inspiration regarding how to find our way back to the true women we all naturally are.

With Love, Michelle
