This meditation guides you into the deeper layer beneath your repeating patterns—the shadow that learned to protect you long before you had a choice. Instead of resisting these old defenses, you’re invited to meet them with clarity and compassion so they can finally release their hold. You’ll reconnect with the part of you that has always been enough, even when your patterns made you forget. This is a space to integrate what’s been hidden, soften what’s been heavy, and return to yourself with honesty and strength.

Welcome to Be With Melinda.

Take a deep breath.

Allow yourself to arrive here and now.

You're stepping into a moment of truth where old patterns no longer define your worth.

You've done enough.

You are enough.

And now it's time to see what's been hiding behind the veil.

Not as something to fix,

But as something to understand.

Close your eyes and sense the shape of your familiar patterns.

The ones that keep you looping through the same emotions,

The same stories,

The same ache of not being fully seen.

Let them rise,

Not to shame you,

But to show you what is still asking for love.

The shadow is not your enemy.

It is your unintegrated self.

You're longing for light in disguise.

Let me repeat that.

The shadow is not your enemy.

It is your unintegrated self.

You're longing for light in disguise.

Breathe into it and whisper gently,

I see you.

You can rest now.

Imagine standing in a circle of soft golden light.

Around you are versions of yourself.

Each one carrying a piece of the pattern.

The over-giver.

The perfectionist.

The one who hides.

The one who pleases.

The one who doubts.

Look at them with compassion.

Acknowledge them.

They were trying to keep you safe.

Thank them for the service and release them with love.

As you breathe,

Watch each version of you dissolve back into the light.

Merging into your wholeness.

There's nothing left to fix.

Only love to reclaim.

Today you break the pattern.

You choose to live from wholeness,

Not habit.

Repeat softly.

I am enough.

I am worthy of peace.

I am free.

Let these words settle into yourselves.

Let the light of your own awareness become the medicine that heals the shadow.

Breathe.

Rest.

You are home.
