A Self Care Pause To Check In

This meditation offers a gentle space to slow down and listen to your body’s wisdom. Through a series of reflective prompts, you’ll be invited to connect with what you truly need—emotionally, physically, or energetically—to care for yourself with more intention and presence.

Transcript

Welcome to the self-care meditation.

The intention of this meditation is to bring you a peaceful awareness of your self-care needs so that you can care for yourself in a way that will create the healthiest and happiest version of you.

Let's begin by finding a comfortable position.

Gently closing your eyes.

Taking a few deep breaths now.

Watching the air as it moves in and out of the lungs.

Seeing any areas of tension in the body.

Watching these areas soften with each breath.

With each exhale,

You are sending a wave of relaxation throughout the body.

Let go of any thoughts in your mind.

Imagine them just floating away.

It's okay to let them go for now.

Right now,

In this moment,

There is nothing to do.

Nothing to think about.

Just let yourself be.

Let everything go.

Keep breathing in and out.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

As your body melts into this state of relaxation,

Ask yourself,

What do I need right now to feel like my best self?

What do I need right now to feel like my best self?

What is my body saying yes to?

What is my body saying no to?

What makes me feel alive?

What is one thing that I can commit to doing for myself today that I really need?

What do I need to let go of doing to feel like my best self?

What do I need to let go of doing to feel like my best self?

As this practice comes to a close,

Have gratitude for this awareness that you now have.

May you implement these self-care needs into your day and into your life.

Begin to wiggle your fingers and wiggle your toes.

Bring your awareness back to the room.

Only open your eyes when you are ready.

May you be your best,

Brightest,

And most vibrant self today.

Sending love to you.

Enjoy your day.

Lovely! I feel healthy, vibrant and grateful! Thank you.

A really lovely practice! I feel lighter and at ease. ❤️

Thanks Ashley for your kindness and encouragement to be the best version of ourselves.

This was absolutely fantastic! Exactly what I needed and I’m going to share it with others and save it for myself!

Just what I needed to start my self care/love day. Thanks 🙏

Very calming and grounding to my mind. Would definitely recommend for you. Will definitely use again.♥️

I love the pacing of your voice. This was such a beautiful practice to get in touch with my needs 🤍

Thank you so much for making me feel better already! So much to think about today. Namaste 🙏 💫💎🌳💚

That was beautiful. I Really need that in my life. Self-care is something I need to work on. I sometimes get confused thinking self-care is selfish. I know that comes from something way deeper lol. But by day I need to care for myself. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Love, LOVE, L🖤VE this so much! I mainly choose to fill other's pitchers first before even checking to see how mine is doing. Thanks for a self care lesson/session without the "shoulds". Addressing this moment only, eliminated the stress & " HOW TO" actually care for self (ie: walking, bath, facial etc) & actually just DID IT! I feel great! Thank you

Feel good meditation for self love and gratitude 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for your guidance during this session, Ashley! Your voice was very soothing and perfect. I really needed this relaxing session and it brought me peace and clarity. Thank you!

I am grateful for finding this tonight. Really helped shift my view.

It was an insight for me that I can not only drop the thougts, I can also lay down some beliefs - for just the moment while I breathe. Really felt lighter coming out of this. 🙏

Thank you so very much for this absolutely beautiful and calming meditation.
