Hi,

My name is Carla Di Cretza.

Welcome to this meditation where we will focus on cultivating resilience and embracing your authentic self.

In our journey today you will connect with the true essence of who you are which is a powerful source of strength.

When you embrace your authenticity you align with your values,

Beliefs and emotions allowing you to face challenges with greater confidence and courage.

Recognizing your true self helps you to tap into your inner strength and resources enabling you to navigate obstacles with resilience.

It takes courage to be your true self and this courage will empower you to confront difficulties head-on.

By the end of this meditation you will feel more connected to your inner strength,

Ready to face whatever life presents with authenticity and grace.

Now let's find a comfortable seated position and gently close down your eyes.

Allow your spine to lengthen,

Crown of the head up towards the ceiling and taking a few deep breaths here allowing your body to relax with every exhale allowing tension to drip away from your mind,

From your body,

Letting go of any distractions.

And start to bring your awareness to your heart center.

You may even like to place both hands across this space and visualize a beautiful radiant light softly glowing within you.

This represents your authentic self.

This light embodies your true essence filled with strength,

Creativity and resilience.

As you focus on this light acknowledge any parts of yourself that may feel hesitant or fearful to shine.

These feelings are natural but they do not define you.

Gently invite them to be present offering them love and understanding.

Knowing that sometimes these parts are here wanting to protect you.

Imagine this radiant light expanding with each breath you take.

As it grows visualize it enveloping any insecurities,

Doubts or fears.

Allow this light to remind you that you have the power to rise above challenges and embrace your true self.

Now picture yourself standing in front of a mirror looking into your own eyes.

As you gaze into your reflection affirm your authentic self.

Say the words either out loud or to yourself.

I embrace who I am and I have the resilience to face whatever comes my way.

Feel the truth of these words resonate within you.

Now imagine any obstacles or challenges that you are currently being faced with being illuminated by this light.

See them clearly but without fear.

Recognize that you have the strength to navigate through them.

With each breath reinforce your commitment to resilience knowing that you can overcome any difficulty while remaining true to yourself.

As you sit in this powerful energy repeat the affirmation I embrace my authentic self.

I am resilient and I face challenges with courage and grace.

Allow these words to flow through you affirming your connection to your inner strength and your authenticity.

Take a deep breath in here and a full breath out letting this sense of resilience and your true unique self settle within you.

Acceptance for who you are and when you're ready you may gently start to open your eyes carrying this powerful energy with you into your day ready to embrace who you are and face any challenges with confidence.
