Welcome to this meditation.
For coming home to yourself.
For anyone who tends to lose themselves in keeping everyone else happy.
Particularly relevant for people with a Libra moon or strong Libra placements.
And you might notice this when there are Libra transits in the sky.
If the moon is transiting,
We know that the moon is your emotional inner world.
And an airy moon in Libra is wired for connection.
For communication and harmony and fairness.
Libra feels most settled when everyone around is settled.
At the shadow of that beautiful gift is that you can lose track of your own needs entirely.
You end up keeping the peace by quietly abandoning yourself.
So this practice is a gentle homecoming.
It's a few minutes spent turning towards you.
To find a comfortable,
Balanced position.
Let both feet rest on the floor or sit evenly.
Or if you're lying down,
Allow your body to lie in alignment.
Libra likes balance.
So let your body feel symmetrical and at ease as much as possible.
Now take a slow breath in.
And relax to let it happen.
For these few minutes,
There's no one to please.
They're ready to manage.
No mood to smooth over but your own.
And let your shoulders drop.
Let that be a relief.
It's just you.
And now ask yourself a question you may not ask often enough.
What do I actually want?
Not what would keep everyone happy.
What do I want that would also keep the peace?
Just right underneath.
What do you want?
Just let the answers come up,
Even if it feels selfish at first.
It is not.
And it is not selfish to.
Notice it in yourself.
Notice if any guilt arrives the moment you put yourself first.
And hold residual discomfort.
Automatic response.
Your needs might put somebody else at.
That guilt and that discomfort is an old habit.
It's not a truth.
Tending to your own needs does not make you unkind.
An empty cup pours nothing.
You are allowed to fill your own.
So spend some time really tuning in to what you want.
Whether it's in a particular relationship.
Or a particular situation.
Allow yourself to get clear.
On what would fill your needs.
What would make you happy?
I'm satisfied.
Place a hand on your heart.
And offer yourself a kind sentence.
The kind of thing you would say to someone else.
Might say,
My needs matter too.
Or maybe it is safe to want things.
That might not feel true at first.
Bit like that.
Be something that you can be curious about.
Think about why it might not be safe to want things.
And how you get.
Help yourself to feel safe.
Say it gently again and again and mean it a little more each time.
My needs matter.
It's safe to want things.
Stay here as long as you need to.
Balanced and quiet.
Home in yourself.
And whenever you're ready.
Take a breath and return.
And carry yourself with you today.
Not just everyone else.
Thank you so much for sharing your space with me today.
Have a wonderful day.
