This is Abbie Wynn here.
I've noticed that we have a tendency to be very hard on ourselves.
We have a tendency to push ourselves more than we're able to go.
And we have a tendency to be unforgiving towards ourselves.
And yet we can forgive other people.
We can be compassionate towards others while forgetting to light that light of compassion and love for us,
For ourselves.
So in this meditation I'd like you to take the opportunity to let go of all of your limiting beliefs around you.
Not being good enough.
Not being clever enough.
Not being pretty enough.
Not being skinny enough.
Not being a nice enough person.
Not achieving enough.
Not owning these material things that you see everybody else owning and feeling like you're left behind.
I want you to let go just for this few minutes of your need to have everything that you think will make you happy.
And I want you to just come into your body now.
Really try this.
And it might be hard if you're doing it for the first time.
So come back and do it again.
Let go of how you see yourself without the things you think you need.
Let go of those things.
Let go of those people.
Let go of those expectations.
If this was a cartoon and you could draw a picture of yourself and it's as if you're hooked in to the big house and the big car and the happy family and the big holidays and all the money and all of these things that you feel you need to have that you might not have and without those you haven't achieved in your own mind.
So in your own mind you're not good enough.
And I want you to see unhooking from those things and see them dissolving away.
So right now all there is,
Is you.
And I want you to notice that as you unhook from these things,
These people,
These places,
These ideals that you have in your mind that you need lined up as they dissolve away,
Your energy comes back to you.
So you start to have more colour in your face.
Your body is allowed to relax a little bit more.
Maybe your breath is slowing down.
And maybe you're beginning to realise that you don't need those things to feel compassion,
To feel joy,
To feel happy.
So breathe with me and breathe out and open and let go of all of your attachments just for a few minutes,
Just to see how that feels.
And then I want you to repeat after me.
I have everything I need right here.
Because you actually do.
I have everything I need right here.
And allowing yourself to be more in the moment now,
Feeling more like yourself now.
I want you to think of what you were like only a few minutes ago when you were hooked into all of those other things.
And I want you to feel compassion to the you that thinks that it needs to be hooked into all of those things because that's the way we're made.
That's the way society wants us to feel.
So imagining that you have a light in your heart centre right now that's a little flame burning,
The light of compassion.
And it lights up and it burns with love.
And sending that love now to the you that you were only a few minutes ago.
I understand.
I see what you did.
It's an old pattern.
It's an old way of living.
And we don't need to do that anymore.
Breathing with me,
Breathing in and out and let go.
And how do you feel now?
I want to do one more thing.
So can you imagine a time in your life when you were really upset?
It doesn't have to be in your childhood.
It could be last week.
Okay,
A time in your life that's the most poignant for you right now in this moment as a time where you needed compassion.
Now opening your chest and allowing that flame to burn stronger.
And visualise yourself in that moment where you were in pain,
Where you were in emotional pain and distress.
And we're going to say to that part of you,
I see you.
I see you and I understand that you're in pain.
And there's nothing wrong with you.
You are good enough.
You're just a little bit lost.
You're hooked into too many things,
Too many expectations and too many attachments.
And you've forgotten the power and the beauty of your own soul.
And feel that part of you in distress,
Stopping and listening to you and receiving this information.
I see you and I see your pain.
And I feel compassion to you and I understand.
You are doing this to you right now.
And open the chest and feel that light of compassion in your chest opening up.
And then look at the you and allow that part of you to receive this light.
And feel it then being lit there in the heart of you,
Of that aspect of you.
To be reflected back to you now.
Your light burning and their heart light burning.
And feel the softness coming in and feel the relief of not having to be an ideal good enough.
The relief because you now accept and forgive you.
Because the only thing that you need to forgive is your tendency to throw yourself into your ideals and attachments and then your tendency to be disappointed in yourself when you don't get those.
So just like the cartoon dissolving away,
You might want to give that aspect of you a hug.
You might want to stay with them and talk with them a little longer.
It's up to you.
But allow it all to dissolve away now.
And come back to you in the present moment.
I have everything I need right here.
I am loving and compassionate towards myself and others.
And that feels really good doesn't it?
So the next time you feel alone or lost,
You feel distressed,
Uneasy or you're telling yourself all of those old things again.
I want you to remember how you feel right now and know that you just got a little lost again.
And all you need to do is light that light of compassion in your heart.
Forgive yourself for getting caught up in things that are outside of you.
And bring all of that love,
All of that joy back into your heart.
Radiating out from you so you can feel it.
And then and only then to truly be available for others.
