Hello,
My name is Autumn and today we embark on a journey of healing and self-compassion.
In this gentle meditation we'll focus on releasing any burden of shame that may be weighing you down.
For the weight of excess shame can have a heavy price tag and it is time to gently let it go.
To find a quiet comfortable place free from distractions and turn off all notifications you may sit up or lie down whichever is most comfortable for you.
Take the time you need for this.
When you are ready let's begin.
Start by taking a deep cleansing breath in through your nose allowing your lungs to fill with air.
Exhale slowly and completely releasing physical tension.
And now breathe in and out in your own time.
With each breath notice your body sinking more into relaxation,
Letting go into the calm and peace.
Now let's gently bring your attention to your toes.
Imagine a warm soothing light enveloping them.
And with each breath let this light move gently along your feet,
Through your heels,
Flowing up through your ankles,
Relaxing every muscle and fibre.
The warm light now gently moves along your legs.
Feel the relaxation moving up through your knees and into your thighs,
Bringing a sense of calm and release.
This gentle light continues its journey through your pelvis and hips,
Melting away any stress as it comforts and relaxes you.
Now moving along your spine releasing any pressure and bringing deep relaxation.
Notice the gentle flow through your abdomen and your chest,
Releasing any tightness,
Relaxing,
Letting go into the calm and peace.
Feel the light now moving into your shoulders as they relax more and more with each breath.
Now down through your arms,
Your elbows and flowing into your hands as they just let go of the weight of shame you've carried.
Feeling gently,
Naturally in your own time.
This light of peace now flows into your jaw,
Letting go,
Smiling,
Relaxing.
Notice this gentle light move up to your eyes now and flows through your head,
Filling you with relaxation as your mind lets go and enjoys this peace.
And as you breathe allow the following words to soothe and nurture you.
I am deserving of love and acceptance,
Just as I am.
I choose love over self-criticism,
Shame is dissolving in my present.
I am unique and valuable,
Deserving of love and connection.
I need love and I give myself love through acts of kindness through my day.
I choose now to let go of the past,
I am deserving of love and kindness.
I am worthy of love from both myself and others.
I love myself without judgement,
With a full heart and accept all that I am.
I give myself the same love and care I offer others.
I am a beautiful and growing soul.
I love and accept myself unconditionally.
I remember my self-worth is not determined by anyone else.
I embrace self-love as the foundation of my well-being.
I understand self-care is necessary for my health and my happiness.
I honour my needs,
Dreams and desires with love and respect.
I prioritise self-care as a part of my well-being.
I radiate self-love and it attracts love into my life.
Taking care of myself is an act of self-love.
I listen to my body,
Mind and heart and provide what they need.
I understand now self-care is not selfish but necessary for my health and for my happiness.
I give myself permission to rest,
Rejuvenate and replenish.
Self-care is a gift I willingly give to myself every day.
I choose activities and practices that nourish my body,
My mind and my spirit.
Self-care empowers me to be my best self.

Opening your eyes in your own time.

Understanding and peace.
Until next time blessings on you my friend.
