Welcome to this guided self-love meditation.

My name is Eleanor Hadley.

This meditation is perfect to do on a daily basis as part of a self-love ritual and also anytime you're feeling low in confidence and like you need a big hit of self-love.

Feel free to come back to this meditation anytime you need to fill up your cup.

Coming into a comfortable seat,

Sitting with your feet planted on the floor or cross-legged on a cushion with your spine straight and feeling supported by the floor.

Bring your hands to your knees,

Palms facing downward,

Gently cupping the knees with your hands,

Lengthening through the spine and tucking the chin in slightly.

Closing down the eyes and allowing your awareness to drop now into your body.

Taking a long deep breath in through your nose,

Filling up your belly and exhaling out the mouth,

Letting it all go.

Keeping the focus on the breath,

Filling yourself up on the inhale and releasing it out on the exhale.

Breathing in and out.

Visualise yourself inhaling love and exhaling fear and doubt.

Inhaling love,

Exhaling fear and doubt.

Inhale,

Fill yourself up and exhale,

Let it all go.

Now bringing your hands into Ahamkara Mudra,

A yogic hand gesture which fosters self-confidence and activates the solar plexus where we hold our personal power.

Keeping the palms face down as they are,

Gently place your thumb over your index finger,

Just between the first and second knuckle.

Thumb on the index finger between the first and second knuckle.

And observe any shifts in energy that this may induce.

This acts as a lock to keep the energy within the body throughout the meditation.

Now visualising a coloured bright beam of shining light,

Whichever colour comes to your mind first is perfect.

Imagining this bright coloured light streaming down from the sky and feeling it washing down all over your body.

Feel it melting down over the crown of your head,

Penetrating into your brain and feel this light,

This pure energy cleansing and clearing your brain of any and all negative thoughts.

Anything that doesn't serve you,

See this light clearing it all away.

Melting all of that self-doubt,

Fear,

Judgement.

Watching it all just disintegrate until all that's left is this bright coloured light and positive energy filling your psyche.

Now bringing this light down over your face.

Feel it dripping like warm honey over your forehead,

Softening those worry lines.

And feel this light penetrating your eyes now.

Feel it cleansing and clearing any misconceptions we have,

Any filters that we apply to ourselves or others.

Imagine peeling away any of those distortions that we may have in relation to ourselves when we look in the mirror,

When we think about ourselves.

See this light cleansing and clearing and sending the energy of love into your eyes so that all you see when you look at yourself and others from now on is pure,

Unconditional love.

Bringing that bright light down over your cheeks now,

Relaxing your jaw,

Allowing your teeth to gently part.

And then bringing that attention to your lips and your mouth,

Considering the language and the words we use to ourselves.

Allowing this light to cleanse and clear any negative language that may come from the lips.

And transmuting that into only positive words,

Considering that which we say to ourselves becomes our reality.

Allowing this light to flow down your neck now to your throat,

Energizing yourself of a sense of self-expression.

Now bringing the light down over your shoulders and feeling the tension melting away.

Notice if your shoulders are rounded out,

If you're hunching over and making yourself smaller.

And gently roll the shoulders up and back,

Lifting your chest proudly.

Feel the light now traveling down along both arms,

Over the elbows,

Forearms,

Wrists and each and every finger.

Bringing the awareness to your chest and your heart space,

Feeling this light penetrating and filling up your heart with love for yourself.

Slowly flowing the awareness down your chest and to your belly,

Bringing intentional love to your belly.

This area that we so often feel needs to be changed.

Send love to your belly,

Showing appreciation for sustaining you,

For nourishing you and taking all the nutrients from the food you eat and sending them to every cell in your body.

Notice if you're holding it in automatically,

Tensing slightly and give yourself permission to allow it to soften,

Relaxing in.

Now flowing this light and energy down over your hips,

Sending them some love,

Taking it down over your thighs that support you and ground you.

This energy reaching every single cell and pouring that light down over your legs,

Down to your feet,

Feeling the light washing over the tops of your feet,

Around each toe and to the soles of the feet that carry you through this life.

Feeling now your whole body encapsulated in this bright light,

Feeling it penetrating every single cell in your body with the energy of pure love.

And repeat to yourself,

I am worthy,

I am enough.

Repeating this three times to yourself.

Now bringing your attention back to your heart space,

The center of your chest where we feel love for ourselves and for others.

This is where we connect.

Bringing the light and energy to the heart space and visualize this light pouring the energy of love into your heart until it is so full that it spills out and shines this bright light all throughout your body.

Now see this light pouring out of your body and filling up the entire room to every single corner,

Touching every surface,

Filling up the entire room with the energy of love.

And then feel it overflowing into the entire house or building that you're in.

Feel it expanding out to fill the entire street now,

This energy of pure love from your heart space.

Imagine so much love pouring out from your heart.

It is so full that it's spilling out now to fill the entire city.

Touching every single person with the energy of love.

Expanding now to fill the entire state,

Spreading this bright vibrant light of love out across the entire country now.

And slowly expanding it out until it reaches the entire world and out past into the universe.

Feeling this bright light energy of love coming from your heart and expanding all the way out across the entire universe.

And feeling connected to everything that is and everything is love.

Bringing a gentle smile to your face.

Feeling this energy of love filling you up and connecting to the entire universe.

Bringing your hands now to your heart space.

Left hand on the chest and right hand over left.

And breathing into your heart space and exhaling out.

Feeling so full of love for yourself and for everybody else in the universe.

And feeling deeply connected to all that is.

Bringing that awareness back in now from the universe to the world to your country,

Your state,

Your city,

Your street,

Your house,

The room that you're in and finally back to your body.

Feeling this radiant colored light emanating from your heart space and knowing that you can come back to this feeling of unconditional love and acceptance whenever you want.

Inhaling into your heart space and repeating I am love.

And exhaling out I am light.

Inhaling I am love and exhaling I am light.

And repeating this mantra to yourself five more times.

Transferring ideas and experiences to more meaningful images.

Same Zhou we talked about earlier.

And feel free to stay here for as long as you like.

If you're ready,

With your hands still on your heart,

Bringing awareness back to your physical body.

Feeling your body in connection with the earth.

And slowly wiggling your toes,

Bringing some gentle movement back into your body.

Bringing the palms to touch in front of your heart space.

Inhale,

Lift your chest proudly.

And exhale,

Bow your head humbly.

Bringing your thumbs to your third eye,

And bowing your head in gratitude to yourself and your higher self.

And taking this energy of love into your day.

Namaste.
