Welcome to this meditation.

I invite you to find a comfortable position and take a few moments to settle into your space,

Allowing your body to relax and your mind to find ease.

As you arrive to stillness,

Take a deep breath in,

Filling your lungs with fresh air.

And then exhale slowly,

Releasing any tension you may be holding.

With each breath,

Feel yourself becoming more present and more at ease.

This is a time just for you,

A sacred pause to reconnect with your heart,

Your mind,

Your body,

And your spirit.

There's nowhere to go,

Nothing to do,

Only the experience of being here right now.

Breathe slowly and deeply in again,

Letting the weight of your body sink into the ground beneath you.

Allow that breath to soften like the gentle ebb and flow of the tide.

Exhale softly,

Releasing the tension out.

Find a new level of stillness and bring your focus to your heart.

Feel it gently beating in your chest,

Steady,

Strong,

And filled with life.

In this moment,

Know that this heart,

Your heart,

Is the center of your being.

It is a source of warmth,

Of love,

Of grace.

And as you breathe in,

Imagine every inhale brings love to this heart.

And every exhale releases any heaviness or sadness that may be lingering inside.

With your next breath,

Feel your body soften.

Feel the weight of the world slowly lifting as you surrender deeper into this sacred pause.

Feel your breath move in,

Filling you with peace.

And as you exhale,

The tension,

The stress,

All the heaviness flows out of you,

Leaving you freer and feeling lighter.

Now,

Bring a deeper awareness to your heart.

Surrender to everything that is happening within you and allow these words to flow through your ears,

Touching your soul.

Your heart is the seat of your soul.

It is the place where your deepest truth resides.

It is a space where love,

Compassion,

And infinite wisdom are always present,

Waiting for you to take notice.

In this moment,

Invite your heart to open gently,

Tenderly,

And allow the walls you've built around it to soften,

Even just a little.

You are safe here.

You are held here.

You're allowed to fully,

Completely,

And exactly be all that you are right here.

Feel the warmth of that connection.

Make your heart beat steady,

Strong,

And alive.

Feel its rhythm.

Know that your heart has always been beating for you,

Even when you didn't feel seen or understood.

It has always been beating with love,

With care,

With a fierce devotion to your being.

Invite your heart now to come home,

Home to yourself,

Home being an absence of anything that disrupts your peace.

And in this centering,

Breathe in,

Filling yourself with love,

Intention,

And calm.

And as you breathe out,

Allow anything troubling your heart to go.

And as you breathe in again,

Bring your focus to your body.

Imagine your feet sinking into the ground,

Becoming grounded,

Supported,

And safe.

With another breath,

Fill the earth's calming energy rising through your feet into your legs.

Fill it in your thighs,

In your hips,

In your stomach.

Allow the earth's energy to fill you with safety,

With peace,

With stability.

Now move your attention to your shoulders.

Feel how much you've been carrying.

With an inhale,

Allow everything to accumulate.

And with your exhale,

Let it go.

Let the weight slide away,

Releasing into the space around you.

Let your shoulders relax.

They are free and no longer needed to carry the world.

And with another inhale,

Feel lighter.

With the exhale,

Surrender.

Now move to your face.

Relax your jaw.

Actively soften your brow.

Let the muscles around your eyes soften.

Feel your face become lighter,

Smoother,

And at peace.

Feel your face glowing with serenity,

With deep peace,

With the love that's always within you.

Move inward again,

Bringing your awareness to your mind.

Your mind is like the sky,

Vast,

Open,

Infinite.

And as you breathe,

Imagine your thoughts as clouds passing by.

There's no need to chase them.

Let each thought that drifts in find its way out,

Knowing that you are not your thoughts.

You are the stillness behind them.

You are the space of awareness.

You are the vast,

Limitless,

Peaceful,

And powerful mind behind it all.

The sky of your mind is limitless.

With your mind now,

Imagine a soft,

Warm,

Golden light above you.

This light is pure,

Unfiltered,

Untainted love.

It is healing,

And it is infinite.

With another breath,

Draw this light down,

Down into the crown of your head,

Letting it wash through your entire body.

Allow it to fill your mind with clarity,

Your heart with deeper compassion,

And your body with healing energy.

As this golden light moves through you,

Feel it releasing old patterns,

Any wounds that are still lingering,

And allow the light to flow,

Lifting the weight of the past,

Covering and healing scars,

And softening the hardness.

With another breath,

Allow the light to become brighter,

Stronger,

Filling you with more love,

More peace,

And more wholeness.

Now imagine this light moving into your heart,

Back to the center where we began.

Feel the warmth again,

Like a gentle flame flickering softly with love and compassion.

The connection is deeper now,

More wholesome,

Freer.

Know that this heart of yours is always filled with this warmth,

Always connected with infinite love.

As you breathe in,

Feel this love expand.

You are free.

You have always been enough.

All your fears,

All your doubts,

All your struggles,

They do not define you,

Nor have they ever.

You are not the mistakes.

You are not the moments you have stumbled.

You are not the things that didn't go your way.

You are so much more than that.

And your heart knows this is your truth.

You are the love that resides within and around you.

You are the light that shines.

You are that flow of energy.

You are everything.

You are exactly where you need to be right here,

Right now.

Feel the freedom of your truth settle in your chest.

Know that you are worthy of peace,

Of love,

And of grace.

You have always been loved.

Now imagine that light expanding outside of you,

Touching everything that is within your awareness.

This is divine love.

It is unconditional.

It is pure.

It is here for you and through you always.

As this light moves slowly,

Gently,

Out through the crown of your head,

It soothes the world around you,

Quieting the noise,

Providing clarity and peace.

As it touches your body,

It relaxes your shoulders,

Your arms,

Every ounce of your body.

This soft wave of healing energy restores everything within your existence.

You are never separate from it.

You are a part of something infinitely larger.

You are a reflection of the stars.

You are the earth beneath you.

You are the love and light that connects all beings.

In every heartbeat,

In every breath,

The universe is you.

It's supporting you.

You are always held within this energy.

Feel this connection deep in your bones.

And in this sacred space of stillness,

Thank yourself.

Thank yourself for the moments that your heart faced darkness and still this light emerges from you.

Thank yourself for the challenges that have shaped you and still this light emerges.

Thank yourself for every tear that has watered the seeds of your growth.

As this light emerges,

You are whole.

You are healed.

You are a divine tapestry in this universe.

You are woven into it and through it.

Your heart,

Your mind,

Your body,

Your spirit are enough.

Take another full,

Deep breath.

And as you let it go,

Let anything less than love fall away like leaves carried on the wind.

When you're ready,

Bring your awareness back to your body and back to the space around you.

Feel the surface beneath you.

Feel the air on your skin.

Feel the presence of your being.

And with another deep,

Full breath,

Release everything.

And when you're ready,

Slowly open your eyes and place your hand over your heart.

Make a pledge to yourself,

A pledge of safety,

A pledge of love.

And it's simply said with these words,

I am enough.

Anytime you need a reminder,

Return back to this place of love,

Of peace,

Of connection.

And find your breath.

And find that moment of knowing.

Right inside of you,

Beats home.

Until we meet again,

Namaste.
