Welcome to this guided meditation on showing yourself love.
My name is Joy Brown and I will be guiding you through today's meditation.
To begin,
Take a seat or lay down and close your eyes.
To calm our bodies and mind,
Take some deep breaths in,
Filling your chest with air.
Hold for a few seconds at the top,
Then exhale out through your mouth in a big sigh.
Let your breathing return to normal now.
In your mind's eye,
Picture yourself on a porch or just an outdoor space on a beautiful cool summer evening.
Add anything you like to this scene to make yourself feel at home and comfortable.
In a moment,
Some guests will arrive to be with you in this place.
Your task is to be open to them,
To show them the love you may not have always been able to show them.
Do not judge them,
Just remember they deserve unconditional love,
Just as you do now.
A past version of you arrives at your place.
This version of you is one you have rejected in the past as being unlovable.
Invite them to sit with you,
Even if you become uncomfortable.
You are safe here and remember,
They too deserve unconditional love.
Keep talking with this past version of yourself if you need to.
If you feel ready,
Ask if there are other past versions of you that need to meet with you here.
Let them come,
Meeting with them one at a time,
Showing them each unconditional love.
Give gratitude for all you have experienced here today.
Bring your awareness to your body now.
Begin to move your fingers and hands and open your eyes.
Thank you for joining me today in this guided meditation on showing yourself love.
Blessings to you.
