Hello,
I'm Jackie.
Today we celebrate love and belonging,
And we're going to say some affirmations to help us.
Affirmations are words that turn on a light in your heart.
The more you say them,
The brighter and warmer the light shines.
Let's start with a deep breath in and out.
Breathe in and out.
I'll say some short phrases and then I'll pause so you can repeat them.
Ready?
Say after me.
I am loved.
I belong.
I am accepted for who I am.
My love makes the world brighter.
The world is a better place because I'm in it.
Now,
Imagine your heart glowing inside you with a golden light.
It glows brighter and brighter until it starts spreading out into your whole body.
Imagine that bright light filling your chest.
It goes down your arms,
Right to your fingertips.
It goes down to your tummy.
Then on down each leg into your knees,
Ankles and toes.
Then the light flows up from your heart,
Up your neck,
Filling your whole head.
Even your lips,
Nose and ears are glowing.
Can you feel that warmth in your whole body?
How amazing you look with your beautiful golden glow.
Now you're going to send some of your light to someone you love or care about.
It could be mum,
Dad or your caregiver,
A grandparent,
A friend or even a pet.
Anyone you like.
How are you going to send that love to them?
Maybe you're close enough to touch them with your glowing fingers.
Or you could gently blow it over them.
If they're not nearby,
Perhaps you could imagine wrapping them in a glowing golden cape of love.
I'm sure you can think of a really fun way to send your love.
Do it now.
And don't stop there.
Take a moment to send your love to other people you think may need it right now.
Say,
My love travels far and wide.
And remember,
Even if you feel lonely sometimes,
Love is still inside you.
Wrap your arms around yourself in a big hug.
That's love as well.
Say,
I love me too.
That's beautiful.
Wow,
You've certainly turned on that light in your heart today.
Remember to share love and kindness everywhere you go today.
The more you share,
The brighter and warmer your light will shine.
Bye for now.
