Hello and welcome to this meditation on self love. I invite you to take a comfortable seat and close down the eyes and begin to connect with your breath. Just observe your breath flowing in through your nostrils as it fills up your lungs and exhaling out the mouth at a pace and a tempo that suits you, That feels natural. Now this meditation today is about loving yourself. Because we grow up in this society, A lot of us not learning how to simply love ourselves. Sometimes it feels like it's a shameful thing to love yourself, Especially out loud. So I'm inviting you to take your power back in this meditation and gently, Truthfully look within and give yourself that nurturing hug and that reassurance that you are loved by you. And that's where all love starts. We are actually love. Our very self sitting here right now, We are the love that we're looking for. So connect with that breath, Just start to calm down, Letting go of the day that has been. Breathing in through the nose and letting go out the mouth. We're going to breathe in love, All the love that is surrounding us. Breathe it in through the nose, Let it fill up your body right to your heart and watch it flood all over your physical body and then let it go. Remembering that the letting go is just as important as filling up, Whether it be the physical breath or attaining anything. We bring it in and let it go. The practice of letting go is so important. Letting go anything to then allow a space to form for the new. Inhale that sweet love, Inhale and let it go. Love is all around you. Love is nature. Love is a truth, An absolute truth. Love is creation. Love doesn't have to be forced. Bringing in that love in through the nose and letting go. We are now going to focus on the physical body and what we are grateful for and send love to those places to remind us of the love that we have for our physical body. Starting with your brain, Something that we don't see with our own eyes but we know it's there.
