Feeling yourself sitting here or lying here.

Just letting yourself settle in to this posture,

Inviting yourself to be right here in this moment.

Feeling your breath as it moves in and out of your body.

Feeling that there's nothing that you need to change.

The breath is moving just as it should,

At exactly the right pace and depth to nourish you right now.

Sensing yourself supported here,

Supported by the earth underneath you.

Feeling where the body is in contact with the ground,

How it is held,

Secured by gravity,

Able to rest here.

You are right here.

You are supported in other ways as well.

You are loved by many on the earth and in your heart.

Taking a moment to let these faces appear in your mind,

The beings who love you,

Who have supported and cared for you.

You are loved and supported.

And trying on this phrase now,

Just repeating it quietly to yourself.

I am enough just as I am.

I am enough right now,

In this moment and always,

Just as I am.

Beginning as you allow these words to sink in,

As you allow yourself to know this fully.

Beginning to sense now your shield of protection,

Which is always encircling you.

A beautiful seamless bubble that cannot be broken,

Within which you are safe.

Giving time for this image of your shield to develop in your mind's eye.

Imagining its color,

The material it is made of.

Letting yourself see and feel the unique substance of this shield.

Your shield allows love to pass through easily in both directions.

As well as compassion and understanding.

Your shield does not allow damaging energy to pass through.

Anything that is not for you cannot pass.

It just glides off the surface of your shield and is neutralized by the earth.

Allowing yourself to sense this impermeability.

This shield is always encircling you,

And within this shield you are safe.

Drawing on this phrase,

I am safe.

I am safe and strong.

Knowing that you can access and envision this shield always,

In each moment.

Just by calling it to mind.

By remembering that it is here.

It is around you.

It is part of you.

I am supported and loved.

I am enough,

Just as I am.

I am safe and strong.

Hi Katie. I was needing a meditation today from a soothing yet empowering person. I put out the intention for someone I knew to be my meditation guide. I did this because we had to help my cat of 16 years transition yesterday. I was looking up meditation on grieving. G-d the universe sent me to a list of names on here. You showed up and I had no idea you were even on insight timer!!! Iโ€™m so grateful to have found this meditation. I am in grief right now. Thank you for showing up. Tiff ๐Ÿ’œ

Are we good enough if weโ€™re alone? We may have some support but if Itโ€™s long distance is that helpful? Sorry Iโ€™m thinking out loud. Great meditation and gave me things to ponder. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
