Honouring Intrinsic Value

An opportunity to pause, slow down, breathe and consider that every human is born with inherent worth and has intrinsic value at their very core. This guided meditation is intended to honour that first within oneself, and then consider this with others in our lives. You will hear birds singing in the background. "No less than the trees and the stars you have a right to be here." Max Ehrmann "If one happens to find themself, they have a mansion which they can inhabit with dignity all the days of their life." James Michener

This meditation practice is intended to honor one's own intrinsic value. Take your time. And get yourself into a comfortable position. Lying down on the floor on your mat. Or sitting in a comfy chair with your feet on the ground. Whatever position supports your body. And begin to notice your breath. Feel the air coming in through your nostrils on your inhale. And on your exhale releasing the air from your nostrils or out through your mouth. Inhale. I am aware. I am breathing in. Exhale, I am aware, I am breathing out. Let's take a quiet moment here. Just slowing down with nice long inhales and exhales. And you can close your eyes or not. Inhale. I am aware. I'm breathing in. Exhale. I am aware. I am breathing out. You Every human has intrinsic value. We are born with it. That value does not depend on the opinions of other people. Our intrinsic value is our individual existence. It does not depend on the opinion of someone else. You It does not even depend. On our own opinion of ourselves. Our intrinsic value is always there. It's hot. No less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here. Perhaps you can find a little more confidence in your own inherent goodness today. If one happens to find themself, They have a mansion. Which they can inhabit with dignity all the days of their life. We are not bad people trying to be good. We are good people trying to be better. Let's have a quiet moment here. And if your mind wanders, That's okay. Just gently bring your mind back. And put your focus on your breath. Let's bring so little tiny movements in your fingers and your toes. You can slowly open your eyes if they were closed. Peace be with you.
