Hello,
My name is Joel,
And it's an honor to guide you through this gentle meditation today.
Together,
We'll take time to connect with your deep,
Unshakable worthiness.
This is a space to honor yourself as you are,
To open your heart to unconditional self-love,
And to recognize the value you carry simply by being you.
Begin by finding a position that feels most supportive.
You might sit with your hands resting softly in your lap,
Or lie down with your body fully supported.
Make any small adjustments you need to feel truly comfortable.
Now,
Gently close your eyes or lower your gaze.
Begin to tune in to the feeling of being here in this moment.
Notice the surface beneath you.
Feel how it supports you or holds you steady and unwavering.
Now,
Take a slow breath in through your nose,
And exhale softly through your mouth.
With every exhale,
Imagine yourself letting go.
Release any tension or heaviness that might still be lingering.
Take another deep,
Soothing breath,
And imagine yourself settling into this space,
Like soft sand settling after being carried by a wave.
There's nothing you need to do right now,
Nowhere else you need to be,
So simply give yourself permission to rest here,
Fully present with yourself.
Now,
Begin to turn your attention to your breathing.
Notice the way it flows naturally,
Effortlessly.
Each inhale fills you,
And each exhale releases.
It feels just like the tide coming in and out,
Steady and calm.
Now,
With each breath,
Imagine yourself softening even more.
Picture a warm,
Gentle sunlight shining down on you.
Its warmth spreads through your body,
Melting away any remaining tightness or tension.
Start with the crown of your head,
And feel the sunlight gently washing over you.
Feel this soft light moving to your face,
Your jaw,
And your neck.
Imagine it easing your shoulders,
Allowing them to fall away from your ears.
Notice your chest softening,
Your stomach relaxing,
Your arms growing heavy at ease.
Continue to feel this sunlight flowing down your body.
It moves to your legs,
All the way to your feet.
With each moment,
Notice how much lighter,
Calmer,
And more open you feel.
Each breath takes you deeper into relaxation.
You are held in this warmth,
Supported completely,
Just as you are.
Now,
I invite you to picture a peaceful sanctuary within you.
It is a safe,
Beautiful place that belongs only to you.
Now,
Take another deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Imagine yourself standing at the edge of this sanctuary.
Perhaps you see it as a sunlit meadow,
With tall golden grass weighing gently in the breeze.
Or maybe it's a still lake,
Surrounded by soft trees,
Their reflections dancing calmly on the water's surface.
Whatever image arises,
Trust it.
This is your sanctuary,
Your inner place of peace.
When you're ready,
Step deeper into this space.
Feel the ground beneath your feet.
Notice the warmth of the sunlight,
Or the coolness of the gentle breeze.
Listen for the sounds of your sanctuary,
Whether it's the quiet rustle of leaves,
Or the soft lapping of water along the shore.
Take a moment to explore.
Perhaps you've found a quiet spot to sit,
Where you feel completely at ease.
Now,
Picture yourself surrounded by a soft golden glow.
This light is the energy of your inherent worth.
It radiates from deep within you,
Filling your entire sanctuary.
With every breath in,
Feel this light growing warmer,
Brighter,
Stronger.
It flows outward,
Clearing away any sense of self-doubt or inadequacy.
It reminds you of something you've known all along.
Now,
Exactly as you are,
Rest here for a moment,
Feeling this glow.
It wraps around you like a comforting blanket.
Because you're whole.
You're radiant,
Simply by being you.
And you bring something beautiful and unique into the world.
Now,
Take a slow,
Deep breath in,
Letting this warm glow fill you entirely.
I invite you to silently or aloud repeat these affirmations with me.
I am worthy of love,
Starting with love for myself.
I am enough,
Just as I am.
My worth does not depend on what I do,
But on who I am.
I carry a light within me that is beautiful and unique.
And finally,
I trust myself to grow and thrive,
Step by step.
Pause for a moment to allow these words to settle into your heart.
With each breath,
They sink deeper,
Taking root.
Feel the truth radiating through every part of you.
These affirmations are like seeds planting in your sanctuary.
With care and nurturing,
They will grow stronger every day.
Take another deep inhale,
Welcoming this self-love,
And exhale,
Releasing any remaining doubts and fear.
When you're ready,
Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to your body.
Notice the gentle rhythm of your breath,
Still calm and steady,
Like ocean waves gently rolling along the shore.
Feel the surface beneath you,
Steady and supportive.
Reshape your awareness to the room around you,
Without opening your eyes just yet.
Wiggle your fingers and toes now,
Feeling movement return to your body.
Roll your shoulders gently,
Noticing how light and at ease you feel.
When you're ready,
Softly open your eyes and gaze around the space with a sense of calm and openness.
Take a moment to thank yourself for taking this time to connect with your worth.
Remember this light,
This sanctuary,
Is always with you.
So whenever you need to,
You can return to it by simply closing your eyes and breathing.
Thank you for allowing me to guide you today.
May the warmth of your inner light guide you forward.
You are worthy,
You are loved,
And you are enough.
