I'm going to be guiding you through a metta meditation sound bath.
Metta translates to loving kindness,
A traditional Buddhist meditation.
Today we are going to be using this loving kindness to cultivate feelings of self-love and self-compassion.
So if you wish you may remain seated placing the palms on the knees or if you wish you may gently lay down finding a comfortable place of stillness to rest.
You may wish to have the palms facing up in order to symbolize receiving or you may wish to have the palms facing down symbolizing grounding.
If it feels safe and comfortable I invite you to gently close your eyes or you may find a place to softly rest your gaze.
Bring your awareness to your heart space the point at the center of the chest.
Begin to breathe into this space noticing the sensations noticing how your heart feels today.
And as you breathe into this space begin to feel your heart open and as it opens begin to see and feel a beautiful loving divine light emanating from this space.
With each inhale begin to send this light to every cell of your being illuminating any darkness washing away any stress anxiety restriction or tension.
With each exhale begin to feel this light expand over your body.
We are going to now invite some affirmations into our heart space.
You may wish to silently repeat them after me but holding each one in this sacred space of love.
May I be happy May I be happy May I be healthy May I have peace May I live with ease May I be free of my suffering May I have loving-kindness May I be happy May I be healthy May I have peace May I live with ease May I be free of my suffering May I have loving-kindness And hold these intentions in your heart space allowing your heart to send them to every cell in your body infusing your body with these loving affirmations that you may be happy that you may be healthy that you may know peace that you may live with ease that you may be free of your suffering and that you may know loving-kindness so take a moment to send these affirmations throughout your body so bring your attention back to your heart space and begin to gently feel it close knowing this light is always within you these affirmations are always with you whenever you may need them you can return to this space and coming back into this present moment bring your awareness back to your breath using it to bring you into the present moment bringing your awareness into your body you may wish to bring gentle movement back into it maybe wiggling the fingers and the toes you may wish to gently even stretch in your own time in your own time you may gently open your eyes and welcome back thank you so much for practicing with me and have a great rest of your day
