Welcome to this moment.
This meditation is dedicated to my mom.
It's her birthday today.
I love you so much.
Begin to drop into your beautiful heart.
Allow yourself to soften and land in this moment.
Breathe in gently.
Let something go.
Allow your breath to deepen.
Slowing down the mind.
Shifting into this very moment.
Steady inhale.
Steady exhale.
Becoming aware of your mind.
Notice if your inner critic has been running the show.
Begin to allow your inner friend to step forward.
Feel this version of you become the dominant voice in your mind and your heart.
Wrapping yourself up in your own loving awareness.
Feeling the warmth of your acceptance.
Looking at yourself with the most compassionate eyes.
You are worthy of your own love.
Breathe in slow.
Breathe out slower.
Tuning into your heart.
Feel the language of your heart.
Listening.
Hearing your inner friend,
Your intuition.
The most loving you.
What would this version of you tell you right now?
Let the path to self-love be simple.
Journey to the heart and stay there.
Feel.
Listen.
As you soften into your heart,
Take in these words by Jamie Verone.
I don't care if you live your best life.
I hope you live your freest life.
Your most unburdened life.
Your lightest life.
I hope your life is a patchwork of lessons and trials and joys and mistakes and growth and evolution and expansion.
I hope you understand that rejection,
Failure,
Disappointment means you care.
You're trying.
You're out there in life.
Alive to it all.
I hope your life feels beautiful to you more than it looks beautiful to everyone else.
I hope you're free and that you keep freeing yourself from who you thought you should be.
From who society told you to be.
From heavy expectations and weighty ambition.
I hope you know when you're in a moment you'll remember forever.
I hope you know how good you have it when it's good.
I hope your life is an ongoing evolution,
A constant becoming.
I hope you shrug off old selves with ease.
I hope you leave space in your life for the unknown,
The magic,
The surprises,
The unexpected.
I hope you don't just aim for best and instead aim for full,
Whole,
Ever-evolving,
Unconfined and unrestrained.
Mostly,
I hope you take the path that is meant for you,
Not the one expected of you.
I hope you live your freest life,
Your lightest life.
What would your freest,
Lightest life feel like?
Can you love yourself deeply as you continue to step in and create the reality of your dreams?
Stay in touch with your heart.
Keep listening.
Keep bringing your inner friend forward to guide you.
Stay in this loving awareness a little longer.
Take it really slow,
Becoming aware of the space surrounding you.
Bringing movement back into your body only when you're ready.
Take this practice into your day.
You are worthy of your own love.
You are worthy of a beautiful life.
Blinking your eyes open if they were closed.
Breathing in.
From my heart to yours.
Thank you.
