This is Melissa from WeTongueLen.
Welcome to this meditation on self-love.
Finding ourselves and cultivating self-love grounds us.
We give so much to others and sometimes ignore ourselves.
Let's start by finding a comfortable seated position
and gently closing our eyes or gazing softly at the ground.
Take a few deep breaths.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Inhale and exhale.
Take a few deep breaths,
Allowing yourself to settle
into this present moment.
As you breathe in,
Feel the air
filling your lungs,
Expanding your chest and belly.
As you exhale,
Release any tension or stress
you may be holding onto,
Allowing yourself to sink
deeper into relaxation
with each breath.
Now place your hand
on your heart,
Bringing your
awareness to your heart center,
The seat of self-love
and compassion.
Feel the warmth
and the gentle rhythm of your heartbeat,
A constant reminder
of the love that flows
within you.
As you continue to breathe
deeply,
I invite you to
cultivate a deep sense of love
and acceptance for yourself.
Just as you are,
You are worthy of love.
You are enough.
Take a moment
to reflect on the qualities
that make you unique and special.
Consider your strengths,
Your talents,
And the love that you share
with those around you.
Embrace yourself
fully with all your
imperfections and vulnerabilities.
Know that
this is what makes you beautiful.
Now visualize
a bright,
Radiant
light emanating from your
heart center,
Filling your
entire being with love
and compassion.
With each breath,
Allow this light to grow brighter
and more expansive,
Touching
everyone and everything
it encounters.
Feel the bond of love that
unites us.
As you continue
to bask in this loving energy,
Let's feel the sense
of self-love and appreciation
deepening,
Anchoring you in a place
of inner peace and contentment.
Repeat
these affirmations silently
to yourself.
I am worthy of
love and acceptance.
I am enough,
Just as I am.
I deserve
to treat myself with kindness
and compassion.
I let go of comparisons
and embrace my unique journey
and experiences.
I trust my own
intuition and wisdom to
guide me along my path.
I celebrate
my accomplishments
and my progress.
I am surrounded
by love and support.
As we bring this
meditation to a close,
Take a moment to express
gratitude for yourself,
For your resilience,
For your strength,
For your capacity to love.
Be gentle with yourself
if the affirmations did not feel
authentic.
Over time,
You will internalize them more.
Know that you can return
to this practice whenever you need
to reconnect with your
innermost essence of self-love.
Slowly begin to deepen
your breath,
Gently bringing
your awareness back to your body
and the space around you.
When you feel ready,
Gently flutter your eyes
open,
Carrying this sense
of self-love and compassion
with you as you continue
your journey forward.
