Welcome to Meditations with Em.
I'm so glad you've chosen to join me for this self-care practice today.
Our meditation today will be focusing on learning to love yourself again.
Maybe you're questioning if you're worthy of love.
You've had a recent heartbreak,
Or your heart's been broken one too many times.
Maybe this wound stems all the way back from your childhood.
You grew up with perfectionist parents or adults that set too high of expectations.
You felt like you never measured up.
Today we'll be focusing on finding that love within,
Recognizing that love isn't external.
The most important love stems from within yourself.
Go ahead and find a comfortable resting position.
Maybe laying down on your back,
Placing a pillow beneath your head or beneath your knees.
Let's bring both hands over our heart at this time.
And take this moment at the beginning of your practice to recognize that true love,
The most important love of all,
Comes from within yourself.
Truly love and connect with all that you are,
Even those dark,
Scary places of yourself that you're not so fond of.
Know that those places are there for a reason,
That those corners of darkness are where you hid when you didn't feel safe.
They were created out of necessity.
It's time now to shine the light into those dark places,
Because your energy,
Your worth,
Is too big and beautiful to be hiding in the dark corners of your soul.
I know that you're afraid to be alone,
But feel your heartbeat against your hands and know that you're never alone,
You never have been.
Your soul has been here before,
You've traveled a similar journey,
But you're here this time to do things differently.
With your hands still against your heart,
Start to imagine a shimmery golden light coming from your palms,
Beginning to warm your heart.
You start to feel light inside.
The longer you sit here,
The golden light begins to deepen in color,
Turning amber and thick like gooey honey.
You picture that sticky,
Thick light seeping into the cracks of your soul,
The places you've been hurt too many times,
Broken apart,
Filling up those dark places.
You start to feel this warmth,
This loving light spreading through your entire being,
From the soles of your feet,
Traveling up your legs,
Feeling that warm,
Oozing sensation from the base of your spine seeping down into the earth,
Connecting you,
Grounding you to all the things bigger than yourself,
Reminding you that even though you may be small,
You are a crucial part of this magnificent universe,
That your journey here is interconnected with so many others,
That you're here to make a loving impact on all those whose paths you cross,
Allowing that warmth to continue to fill you up,
Traveling up your belly and as it does,
Whispering to yourself,
I am enough.
I am worthy.
I am love.
Feeling energized as this loving light continues to move up the body,
Giving your heart permission to open wide and letting all the love you feel toward yourself in this moment seal the cracks of your heart back together,
Forgiving yourself for all the times you thought you weren't enough.
The warmth and all this love you're creating within continues to travel up the body,
Feeling it in your throat now,
Being overcome by a sense of peace.
As you know,
You will never again let another being or experience determine your worth.
Remembering at any time you can speak your truth.
I am enough.
I am worthy.
I am love.
And sensation of warm glowing golden love seeps now to the space between your eyes.
And as it does,
You see your life with clarity.
You trust the inner light,
The love that shines from within guiding you home.
You see yourself emanating all the love you've built within yourself,
Spreading it like a force field of joy and light around you.
The love within you is overflowing now,
Making its way to the crown of your head,
Connecting to every ounce of this love in this universe.
Knowing that every plant,
Animal,
Human star,
You and me are carrying the same life force energy.
We are all connected.
And knowing that when we love ourselves first and see our own worthiness,
We're able to carry that into the world.
And your inner light shines bright.
Remember,
Dear one,
You are enough.
You are worthy.
You are love.
