Welcoming In The Shadows

This week, I guide you through a short meditation welcoming you and all of your shadows.
We all have parts of ourselves we do not like as much as others. Those parts deserve just as much love, if not more than you share with the world.

Thank you for listening, and if you enjoyed this meditation, the best way to show your love is by taking a screenshot of the show and tagging me on your Instagram Stories @the_arts_of_living_

Hello and welcome.

Let's begin this beautiful day with ease,

Balance,

And gratitude.

Take a moment to find your comfortable position.

Close your eyes.

Bring your awareness to the space where the body meets the surface.

Give your body permission to relax.

Let's bring our awareness to our breath.

Inhaling through your nostrils and flowing down into your chest.

With this deep breathing,

Let's connect to our higher self.

Your higher self can be your best friend and your guide.

As you focus on your breath,

Remember all the solutions are inside of you and they will arrive at the most divine timing.

Your higher self will guide you when you sit in silence.

We see the world not as it is,

But as we are.

Your external world is a reflection of your inner world.
