Welcome to this breath visualisation for self-love.
To begin,
Settle into a seated position where you will not be disturbed.
Just elongate and straighten your spine and relax your shoulders,
Jaw area and release any tension in your neck.
Close your eyes when you are ready and settle into a more relaxed posture.
Ground your attention into the surface beneath you now,
Whether that is a chair,
The floor or something else and notice how supported you are.
Good.
Sense the energy of the space supporting you.
Sense and become more aware of the energy or presence of the surface holding you as well as that of the air surrounding you.
Now,
Take a few long,
Clearing breaths in any way that feels comfortable for you.
Invite your thoughts to soften with each out-breath.
Continue to notice the natural flow of your breath for a few moments of silence.
Allow the breath to flow at its own depth and pace.
Nice.
Each breath you take supports your whole body,
So each breath is an act of love for you.
So,
I invite you to breathe with this awareness,
Letting each beautiful breath be an offering of love to your body.
As you inhale,
Feel a sense of love,
Compassion,
Caring and kindness grow inside of you.
And let each exhale help to soften your thinking mind and ease any tension or stress you might be holding.
Good.
Each breath fills you with love and this in turn awakens your energy of self-compassion.
As you continue to breathe now,
In and out,
I invite you to repeat,
I love myself with each breath that I take.
I love myself with each breath that I take.
Continue to sense into the energy of compassion that fills you.
It fills you from the inside and from the outside.
Stay here for a little while longer and if you notice your mind wanders away,
Just return to the flow of your loving breath.
I love myself with each breath that I take.
I love myself with each breath that I take.
I love myself with each breath that I take.
Sense into this loving breath for a few final moments now.
Good.
Release any words from your mind and,
Breathing naturally,
Become aware of the surface supporting you once more.
Reconnect with your physical body by welcoming some light movement.
You might gently wiggle your fingers or your toes and whenever you are ready,
You can slowly open your eyes and allow these loving breaths for you to continue to support you throughout the day.
Thank you for taking time for you.
