My Bodhi presents the Emotional Healing Series.
To love oneself is the first step on the path to experiencing fulfilling love relationships.
Relationships that nurture and provide the foundation of joy and happiness in our lives.
Find a comfortable and quiet space where you can sit or lie down.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.
A cleansing breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Allow the outside world to fade away as you bring your attention inward.
As you settle into this present moment,
Imagine a warm golden light gently surrounding you,
Creating a safe and nurturing cocoon.
This light is a reflection of your own self-love and inner radiance.
Feel its gentle embrace as it starts at the crown of your head and slowly moves down,
Covering every inch of your body with light.
Picture yourself standing in a serene meadow,
Surrounded by vibrant,
Colorful flowers.
Each flower represents a different aspect of who you are.
Notice the variety of colors,
Shapes,
And sizes,
Each one uniquely beautiful,
Just like you.
Now bring your focus to your heart center.
Visualize a soft,
Glowing light residing there,
Like a luminous jewel.
This light is the essence of your self-love,
The purest form of love that you have for yourself.
With each breath you take,
This light grows stronger and more vibrant,
Filling your entire being with warmth and acceptance.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Imagine you are holding a mirror in front of you.
In this mirror,
You see your reflection.
Not just your physical appearance,
But your essence,
Your spirit,
Your soul.
Gaze into your own eyes and see the beauty that resides within.
Feel the compassion and kindness that emanate from your reflection.
Now begin to recite these affirmations quietly to yourself.
I am worthy of love and kindness,
Especially from myself.
I embrace my flaws and imperfections,
For they make me uniquely human.
I deserve to treat myself with the same love and care that I give to others.
I am enough just as I am.
I am deserving of all the good that comes my way.
With each affirmation,
Feel your heart's energy expanding,
Radiating waves of self-love and acceptance throughout your entire being.
Continue on visualizing.
I am worthy of love and kindness,
Especially from myself.
I embrace my flaws and imperfections,
For they make me uniquely human.
I deserve to treat myself with the same love and care that I give to others.
I am enough just as I am,
And I am deserving of all the good that comes my way.
With each affirmation,
Feel your heart's energy expanding,
Radiating waves of self-love and acceptance throughout your entire being.
I am enough just as I am,
And I am deserving of all the good that comes my way.
As we come to the end of this meditation,
Take a moment to express gratitude to yourself for taking this time to cultivate self-love.
Know that you can return to this space of love and acceptance whenever you need to.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Gently awakening your body.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying this sense of self-love and inner radiance with you throughout your day.
Remember,
You are unique and beautiful,
A soul deserving of your own love and care.
Radiate this exquisite love to all those you encounter,
But most importantly,
Yourself.
