Welcome to Gems of the Heart.
It's a return to love.
So just take a moment to arrive here,
Just as you are.
Find your comfy space,
Warm and cozy,
And just feel your body soften.
Your shoulders drop,
Your jaw letting go,
Your neck,
Your back melting,
Your chest and belly soft,
Arms and hands and fingers relaxed,
Your hips,
Legs all the way down to your feet and toes,
Resting.
Just take a moment to arrive,
Just as you are.
Gently close your eyes,
Soften further into this moment now.
This is a gentle space to pause,
To breathe,
And to reconnect with the love within yourself.
There's nothing you need to change,
Just allow yourself to soften.
Let's begin.
Gently bring your awareness to your breath,
Your soft,
Natural breathing.
Soften,
In,
Letting go,
Breathe in,
Slow breath out,
Releasing any stress or tension.
Good,
And when you're ready,
Breathe into your heart.
Bring your attention there,
To your heart space,
The center of your chest.
This is the place that so often feels,
And it holds so much.
Might like to place a hand over your heart,
Just feel the warmth of your touch,
The quiet presence beneath your hand.
And here,
Just begin by noticing,
Just notice whatever is here.
Just gently being with your heart,
Your heartbeat,
Just as it is.
And as you rest your awareness here,
You might begin to sense that beneath everything,
There is a quiet warmth,
A softness,
A tenderness.
It's just like something within you that really knows how to care.
And you begin to notice small,
Subtle feelings,
It's like gentle gems within your heart.
One might feel like kindness,
Maybe a simple,
Natural kindness.
The kind you've offered to others,
And the kind that you can offer yourself.
Another might feel like warmth,
A quiet,
Comforting warmth.
It's softening the very edges of this moment.
Now you feel there is a sense of love here.
Not something you have to create,
But something that already exists.
It's beneath the surface.
Love in its simplest form,
Presence,
Care,
Being here.
You might notice a feeling of longing,
A quiet wish to feel safe,
To feel connected,
To feel at ease.
And even this longing is part of your heart's wisdom.
So just gently hold it with kindness.
And as you breathe,
You might begin to sense there is a soft glow in your heart.
Not bright or overwhelming,
Just warm,
Steady,
Alive.
Now this glow carries joy,
Even if it's very quiet,
A small sense of lightness or ease.
And if it feels right,
You might allow a sense of forgiveness to be here too.
Not forcing anything,
Just the possibility of softening,
Of letting go,
Even a little.
Breathe in warmth.
Breathe out softness.
Breathe in love.
Breathe out kindness.
And for a few moments,
Just rest here,
Breathing in kindness.
Breathing in tenderness.
Breathing in love.
All in the moment.
In the quiet presence of your own beautiful heart.
They are already here,
Waiting to be felt.
Now just affirm to yourself,
Either quietly or out loud.
I return to my heart where love,
Warmth,
Kindness and peace live within me.
Just feel the echo of those words throughout your being.
And as you rest your awareness here,
You might begin to imagine that within your heart,
There is a quiet garden.
It's a gentle,
Peaceful place just for you.
And you might notice soft light here,
Warm,
Golden,
Just like the feeling of being held in kindness,
In love.
And within this garden,
There are small glowing gems.
You rest here gently among them.
Each one is holding something from your heart.
You don't need to search for them.
Just notice which one draws your attention.
Maybe it's one gem that is glowing with kindness,
Soft,
Welcoming,
Like a gentle understanding.
Another may carry warmth,
A comforting presence,
Like being wrapped in something safe.
You might notice the gem of love.
It's not something you need to create,
But something that has always been here,
Quietly waiting.
And here is a more tender gem.
It's one that holds longing,
A deep wish to feel close,
To feel at ease,
To feel at peace.
And this too belongs here.
Now,
You gently pick up one of these gems,
And you hold it softly.
Notice it's warm,
It's quiet energy.
And as you hold it,
It begins to soften like light.
And it is slowly moving through your chest,
This light.
It's filling your heart with such tenderness,
Such calm,
A love,
And a quiet sense of being deeply cared for.
And you don't need to hold onto it.
This is the moment that you feel it,
And it becomes part of you again.
And as you look around this peaceful garden,
You may begin to realize that these gems were never separate from you.
This garden,
This love has always been your heart.
And whenever you need,
You can return to this garden.
It's carrying warmth,
Care,
And a quiet love.
Remember,
It is always here within your beautiful heart.
Lao Tzu once said,
At the center of your being,
You have the answer.
You know who you are,
And you know what you want.
So,
Thank you so much for taking this time for you.
For taking the time to feel the love,
The joy,
The peace,
The gem of love within you.
Namaste.
Be gentle with yourself,
And know that you can come back to your heart whenever you need.
Namaste,
My friend.
