Tuning into love.
This is a guided visualization for opening your heart,
Filling it up with love for yourself,
And getting your heart space ready for the sacred partnership that you desire.
Find yourself in a comfortable position now,
Settling deeply into the chair or the surface that you're sitting upon,
Allowing that surface to support your weight fully,
And feeling how good it is to be held and supported.
Close your eyes if that feels good to you,
And settle into the sensations of your body now,
Bringing your full awareness to the movement of the breath as it flows in and out,
Maybe identifying the part in your body where you can feel your own breath the strongest.
Maybe that's the chest area,
Feeling the rising and the falling of the chest or the abdomen,
Noticing how the muscles in your abdomen expand and contract with each inhale and exhale,
Connecting your gentle focus entirely to the soft flow of your breath,
Allowing all of your mindfulness to be engaged with the flow of your breath,
Keeping you centered and deeply connected to yourself.
Now I invite you to move into your heart space,
Maybe placing one hand over your heart,
A hand of compassion,
And bring to mind a picture in your heart space of two candles side by side.
Notice these are red candles to symbolize the warmth spreading in your heart.
Place yourself in this scene now,
And see yourself lighting one of those candles.
See the spark from the match,
See that first candle light up,
And allow this first candle to symbolize your intention to love yourself deeply with a whole heart,
Bringing to mind all of the beautiful pieces of you,
Your kindness,
Your openness,
Especially your open heart,
Your capacity to love and connect with others,
How you make people smile when you're around them,
Especially your loved ones and friends.
Bring to mind your preciousness,
Maybe recalling a time when you felt most yourself,
Most alive,
Doing something that you love,
Or spending time with a loved one,
A moment in time when you felt so connected to who you are at your core,
And knowing that this is your true self,
This is your goodness that is always there.
And even if it gets covered up sometimes with stress,
Worry,
Or anxiety,
It's okay because this is who you are at your essence,
Your best loving divine self.
And really feel now what a gift you are to this world,
To your circle of loved ones,
To those who know you well and can see your inner and outer beauty,
Feeling what a gift you are to yourself,
Your capacity to take care of yourself,
And also believing that you are a gift to your sacred partner,
This person who already knows you at the soul level and is making their way to you right now,
Even at this moment,
To heal together,
To love one another fully,
And to be a beacon of light for the world about what it means to be in sacred partnership in a fully supportive and healing relationship.
Take a few minutes just to breathe in right now that feeling of the gift that you are.
Okay?
Exhale.
And now go ahead and strike another match in your heart and light that second candle.
And this candle symbolizes your intention to call into your life that sacred partner.
Feel your desire to love and be loved and know that this is a very good thing.
How beautiful it is,
This wish you have to connect with someone so deeply and how worthy you are of this love.
This is your divine birthright.
It's part of your healing process when you are ready.
Breathing deeply and really celebrating and loving this desire of yours to be in sacred partnership with someone who sees you,
Who gets you,
And who supports you just as you support them.
Breathing in now this twin intention,
Seeing those two candles lit in your heart and knowing that these two intentions are deeply connected,
To love yourself fully with a whole beautiful heart and to be loved and adored by your sacred partner.
Bring in all of that light,
All of that love,
The purity,
The innocence of these intentions.
And trusting in the universe to guide you along this path towards deep and abiding self-love and a heart that is wide open,
A welcoming space for that person who cherishes you,
Who can meet you where you are,
And loves you the way that you deserve to be loved.
After you have breathed in all of that warmth in your heart space,
All of that love and light,
Set an intention now to come back to this lit up heart space whenever you need to.
Being recharged,
Rejuvenated,
Deeply in love with yourself and deeply celebrating your intention to attract in sacred love.
So now taking one more deep breath,
Feeling yourself fully back in your body.
And as you are ready,
Opening your eyes,
Coming back to the room and promising yourself to carry this heart energy forward with you as you go about your day.
