It's time for a daily dose of self love.

It's time to connect with the love that is inside you,

The love that you are.

So can you love yourself enough in this moment to settle and connect with your precious breath?

Carefully watch each breath as it enters your body through your nose and as it leaves your body.

Perhaps follow each exhalation all the way out to the very tip,

Allowing the inhalation to flow in easily and naturally.

Simply follow each precious breath.

Watch each breath as it enters and leaves.

Love each breath that gives you life.

And each time the mind wanders,

Kindly and compassionately bring your attention back to the breath.

With each breath you are calming the brain,

Calming the mind and connecting with your heart.

With each breath you are creating a pathway to your heart,

To the love within,

The love that you are.

Now see yourself walking on a beautiful path.

You are walking slowly and mindfully,

Aware of each step.

Thankful for each step that you've taken,

For each step has brought you to this moment where you're ready to love.

Now as you walk on this path,

You come upon a beautiful body of water.

You sit by the water,

You look into the water and see your reflection.

You notice every detail of your face,

The shape of your face,

The shape of your eyes.

You notice every line.

Stare into your own eyes.

As you gaze kindly at your reflection,

You say,

I love you,

I will never let you down or treat you in a way that dishonors you.

I will always love you as the light that you are.

I love you,

I will no longer let you down or treat you in a way that dishonors you.

I will love you as the light that you are.

Allow these words to settle as you gaze into your eyes and breathe a few breaths.

Now you notice that your reflection has turned into a beautiful child.

The child is you.

This child is looking right into your own eyes.

And with great kindness,

You meet this beautiful child's gaze.

And you say,

I love you,

I will never let you down or treat you in a way that dishonors you.

I will always love you as the light that you are.

Allow these words to settle with each breath.

You now leave the reflection of yourself.

You leave the body of water and continue walking slowly and mindfully on this path.

And as you walk,

You allow these words,

These affirmations to settle right into your heart with each breath.

The more love I have for myself,

The more I have to give to others.

I know this.

I feel this now.

I am this.

If we are expressions of a universal energy,

Then loving myself is in alignment with honoring this universal energy.

I know this.

I feel this.

I am this.

The depth and meaning and joy I experience in my life and the amount of kindness,

Patience and love I have for others is in direct proportion to how much I love myself.

I know this.

I feel this.

And now coming back to this moment,

To your breath.

Once again,

Observing the coming and going of each precious breath.

Give thanks for gifting yourself this time to breathe and reflect.

Give thanks for connecting to the love within.

The love that you are.

There is no greater thing.

Linger for a few moments in the energy of gratitude.

When you're ready,

Open your eyes.
