Guiding you through a metta meditation sound bath.
Metta translates to loving-kindness,
A traditional Buddhist meditation used to cultivate feelings of self-love and compassion.
So,
I invite you to gently lay down,
Or if you wish,
You may remain seated.
Finding a place to comfortably place the palms,
Either by your sides or on your knees.

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.
And 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.
I'm 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 your guide,
Your guide,
Your guide,
Your guide,
Your guide,
Your guide,
Your guide.
May I be happy,
May I have peace,
May I live with ease,
May I be free of my suffering,
May I have loving kindness,
May I be healthy,
May I have peace,
May I live with ease,
May I be free of my suffering.
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,
That you may know loving kindness.
So take a moment to send these affirmations throughout your body.
Bring your attention back to your heart space.
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.
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,
You may gently open your eyes and look back.
Thank you so much for practicing with me and have a great rest of your day.
