Hello and welcome to this guided meditation where we're going to explore the magic behind self love.
My name is Jess and I am honored to be your guide today.
Before we get started find a comfortable seat.
You can be sitting in a chair or cross-legged on the ground or maybe even in bed.
Whatever's comfortable for you just making sure that your spine is straight,
Your back is long.
This meditation is going to guide you to discover the beauty and the magic behind self love.
When you practice the art of self love the world will open up to you and give you an abundance of love in return.
So making sure that you're in a nice relaxed position somewhere where you will not be disturbed.
Today is a very important endeavor into the beauty of loving yourself fully and this time deserves your full attention.
Take a few deep breaths here to center yourself and ground yourself.
Breathing fully expanding your body as it fills with air breathing out to relax letting the body soften.
Breathing in expanding fully and exhaling slowly allowing the body to relax.
Very good.
Just a few more rounds of breath just to ground and center yourself into the nose and out through the nose.
And here just showing yourself some gratitude for showing up today,
For taking the time out of your busy day to focus on you.
This is time for yourself not time for anything or anybody else.
The world will still be there when you open your eyes.
Now letting your breath now return to its natural rhythm.
Very good.
With your eyes closed go to the place where your love resides in your heart center.
Bring your awareness to your heart in your chest maybe you'd like to place your hand over your heart maybe you'd like to keep your hands in your lap or by your side.
Go to the place in your heart center and as you still the body and quiet the mind focus on your heart and it beating strongly within you.
Connect with the energy that radiates from your heart.
All that positive loving energy and allow this energy of love to expand out traveling all through your body all along your body.
If it helps to visualize this love as a color or a light then please feel free to do so.
When you experience the force of that love that lives inside you imagine yourself in front of a large mirror.
The mirror has a gorgeous frame looks quite ancient and old.
It's a very special mirror because not only does it show you your physical reflection but it shows you your essence in your life.
It shows you how truly extraordinary you are.
You see a bright light so bright that you think it would hurt your eyes but it doesn't at all.
You observe that beautiful light radiating from you.
That light is you.
You are that light.
The mirror can't contain so much light not even the room can contain so much light.
Revealing the meaning behind your light the mirror now starts to show you all of your gifts and all of your talents.
Things that you're good at,
How you take good care of yourself,
All the things that you do to help others.
It shows you the attributes in your personality that are especially the ones that help you reach your goals and dreams.
See them clearly in whatever way that they're presented.
For these qualities present your uniqueness.
The gifts and talents are yours but are meant to be shared with the world because you are the only person in this world who can contribute in this particular way.
What is the mirror telling you to do with your gifts?
You may see clear images or get the answers and shapes or thoughts or sensations.
All are accepted,
All are valid.
You're just allowing that to sink in whatever you've seen,
Whatever you've been shown.
And now I'd like you to imagine your life from an outside perspective as if you're somebody else.
Someone who loves you and respects you deeply and unconditionally.
What does this person appreciate about you?
See the one who loves you speaking kind words,
Complimenting your strengths.
Listen to what they say.
They say so many things.
Notice how the mirror shows you images of your life that represent those qualities.
Now little by little your human form is appearing on the mirror.
You're very familiar with this representation of you.
This is the person you see every day.
However right now you finally see how limited it is because so many things are left out of what you see in the mirror.
All you see is flesh but now you know there is so much more that you have to offer the world.
If you were to pay attention to only the physical body you might actually miss out on things that are most important of you.
You're now able to look at yourself with different eyes,
With love and appreciation that can see beyond the physical body.
You're smiling on the inside and out and you can feel love and appreciation in your whole body.
Now say these words internally to yourself.
I love you deeply and unconditionally.
Now notice what you feel when you say those words.
Repeat it again.
I love you deeply and unconditionally.
Now feeling all that energy of self-love allowing it to expand and grow until it's bigger than you.
Seeing it expand this far out from your body your self-love is gracing those around you.
They feel your love.
Your love is endless.
It has no form or shape.
It can go infinitely.
It's expanding out so far that it reaches the universe.
The whole world can feel the power of your self-love.
Imagine the love from others in the form of sparkling confetti pouring down on you as well.
And bring a smile across your face knowing that loving yourself is the first step to living life the way it was intended.
And placing your hand over your heart if it's not there already.
And again repeating I love you deeply and unconditionally.
And gently return your awareness to the present moment.
Thank you so much for joining me for this practice today.
You are so loved.
Have a wonderful day.
Namaste.
