I want you to think about a person that you love and care deeply for.

Noticing how it feels to sit in this feeling.

Allow yourself to feel all emotion that comes up for you when you think of this person and I want you to send kindness and compassion to them.

I send you love,

I send you positive energy,

I send you peace.

I now want you to think about yourself.

Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose,
