Welcome to this morning meditation for self-love.
On this moment you wake up in a beautiful scenic place in the gentle moments just before dawn breaks.
Take yourself here in this visualization.
Whatever beautiful scene comes to you.
Allow yourself to take in this dark but safe and beautiful fresh morning that's completely surrounding you.
Find a comfortable place to sit and take in deep slow breaths.
As you enjoy the simplicity and the silence of the beautiful last moments of night sky.
Just being with this light and your breath.
And as you continue to breathe deeply,
Cultivating a sense of relaxation and peace.
Light emerges gently and slowly from the horizon just as the morning sun starts to rise.
Millimeter by millimeter the warm Sun starts to levitate.
Its light dances and rises above the land in front of you.
As there is no one around,
It's as if the sun is rising just for you.
Take in this beautiful moment,
The ending of night and the beginning of day with long rejuvenating breaths.
As the sun continues to rise,
Its light allows you to see the nature around you.
In the gentle warm strokes of the sun's golden light.
What a beautiful gift it is to be here alive on this day in this beautiful place.
How blessed am I to be here.
How blessed am I.
Today is my opportunity to be hopeful.
Grateful and joyful.
Breathe in deeply a sense of joy.
Curiosity and openness for this day.
Even if you feel like today will be like every other day.
Cultivate curiosity,
Joy and openness.
Opening your heart and your mind for today to be special.
And beautiful and peaceful.
As the sun continues to rise ever so gently.
Notice the beautiful dashes of color all around you.
And as the earth starts to wake up,
Let's wake up your body too.
Gently start to move and flex your feet.
Squeeze your calves and your thighs,
Awakening your legs.
Take in a few more breaths and activate the muscles in your glutes.
Your hips.
And your lower belly,
Pulling in the belly with a gentle squeeze.
Take a nice deep breath in,
Stretching out your fingers.
Flexing your hands.
Rotating your wrists gently.
Stretch your forearms.
And gently shrug and move your shoulders just gently awakening your body preparing for the day.
If you notice any parts that feel tired,
Breathe and direct activating breaths towards that part of the body,
Inviting it to awaken gently.
As the sun rises,
Its warmth starts to grace your skin.
And you feel more awake.
More rejuvenated.
More ready for the day.
Continue to enjoy this silence that's just between you,
The earth and the sun.
And in the simplicity of this moment,
Before your busy day starts,
Remind yourself that I control my mood today.
I control my energy today.
I control my responses today.
I control my attitude today.
I hope for a beautiful day and I deserve a beautiful day.
Allow me to be grateful for all those people in my life.
All of the things and the animals that I love,
Cherish and enjoy.
Allow me to be grateful for my plans and responsibilities today.
Allow me to be grateful for my purpose today.
May I love myself enough to be authentic today.
May I love myself enough to be courageous today.
And may I love myself enough to no longer need to prove anything to anyone.
Even on my worst days,
When I don't feel like myself.
Let me remember that I am enough.
I always have been.
And I always will be.
And I will love myself throughout this day knowing that I am more than enough for this world.
I will speak kindly to myself throughout each part of today.
When I make a mistake,
I will forgive myself.
When I become overwhelmed I will stop,
Breathe and find my centre again.
When I question myself,
I will reassure myself confidently.
Say these words to yourself quietly until they feel completely true and natural to you.
I am enough.
I have nothing to prove.
May I be courageous.
And authentic and confident.
You may like to repeat or choose just one phrase that you really need today.
And as you continue to repeat this to yourself.
The sun continues to rise beautifully now above you,
Lighting the earth with its power and grace.
You see,
The sun just is magnificent,
Even in its silence.
We never question its magnitude,
Its capability,
Or its strength.
We never question if the sun is enough.
We trust that the sun will be there for us each day as a loving and reliable presence.
And my wish for you is that each day as you rise,
You will confidently know that you too will be a loving,
Gentle and powerful presence in your own life.
Stay here in the grace and silence and beauty of these moments for as long as you need until you're ready to start your day.
Enjoy a few moments of deep breaths as you make this daily commitment to knowing you are enough.
And loving yourself as such each day.
Thank you for being here with me.
I wish you a beautiful day.
