Hello beautiful soul,
And welcome to this guided meditation that will help you cultivate the compassion and self-love you may be needing right now.
If you feel like you've failed in some way,
Or that you're flawed somehow,
If you feel like you've messed up,
Or that you'll never measure up,
Whatever the source of your self-criticism or judgment,
Let this meditation remind you that Source loves you no matter what.
I'm so glad you're here,
Dear one.
Get yourself comfortable in a seated position,
And then whenever you're ready,
Gently allow your eyes to close.
Take a deep breath in,
And a slow breath out,
Inviting your awareness to come along for the ride as you inhale slowly and deeply all the way up,
And exhale slowly and gently all the way down.
Slow your breath.
Settle your body.
Arrive in this present moment.
As you breathe in,
Welcome in the energy that lifts you up.
As you breathe out,
Send out the energy that pulls you down.
Feel yourself rooting deeper and deeper into the space.
Inhale,
Cleansing breath in.
Exhale,
Releasing breath out.
Anchor your body firmly into the earth beneath you.
Stay with this cycle of breath.
Follow this flow.
Relax into this rhythm.
And ever so gently,
Allow this rhythm to bring some movement to your body.
Just a subtle sway side to side,
Or a slow rock back and forth.
It doesn't need to be much at all.
The smallest amount of movement just outside of stillness,
Like a wave.
The wave doesn't move the water.
The water allows itself to be moved by the wave,
By the energy within it.
Let your body be moved by the energy within.
Inhale,
Releasing any stuckness.
As you keep breathing,
Like the wave,
Keep flowing.
So peaceful,
So tranquil.
The roots extending from your body,
Meeting the wave of breath flowing through your body.
Ever steady and ever shifting.
Together at the same time.
The solidity of earth and the flow of water.
The Great Mother,
Gaia,
Made of both,
Wraps her arms around you,
Cradles you in an embrace.
You are loved without conditions.
No matter what you have done,
Or not done,
To yourself,
To anyone else,
You are loved.
You are love.
You are love.
You are made of both,
Flesh and blood,
Source and soul.
Fallible human.
Infallible spirit.
You are both.
To not make mistakes is impossible.
But to be cut off from love is equally impossible.
But only you can reconnect yourself to the flow of love that never left.
That is always here.
No matter where you go.
No matter what you do.
No matter what you did.
Take a deep breath in.
Reconnect yourself.
And a slow breath out.
Forgive yourself.
To forgive yourself is to give yourself the love that is already here for you.
Let that love flow back into and through you,
As you continue to consciously flow with the rhythm of your breath.
Let that love anchor you,
As you continue to release any shame,
Or guilt,
Or regret,
Or fear,
That may have blocked you from your source.
You are love.
You are loved.
Always.
Take your time here to sit with this love.
To remember who you are.
And to let the power of forgiveness do its work on you.
Breathe in.
You are love.
Breathe out.
You are never not love.
And then,
Whenever you are ready,
Come back to the room,
And gently open your eyes.
I hope this meditation helped reconnect you with the love and compassion that is always available to you,
And helped you be a little bit,
Or hopefully a lot,
Kinder to yourself.
Thank you so much for listening,
Dear one.
Have a beautiful day.
