Hello and welcome to today's meditation on embracing our authentic self with self love affirmations.
This overarching question of who we are diving into our own soul's purpose through presence and awareness.
Thank you so much for being here and allowing me to be your guide.
My name is Lauren Bruno and I'm a hypnotherapist passionate about embracing authenticity.
So start by getting seated,
Get comfortable,
Making sure you're not driving a car and get out any wiggles.
And let's begin.
Start to feel into your body.
Take a nice cleansing breath through the nose,
Filling up that beautiful belly,
Holding at the top and releasing another cleansing and calming breath in.
Noticing the rise of the belly,
The expansion of the lungs,
The rise of the chest and releasing.
One more deep,
Beautiful cleansing breath in and down.
Beautiful.
Now start to take notice of your body,
Of all that it does for you automatically.
Breathing naturally.
Noticing any feelings or sensations or ideas that are occurring in your mind without judgment.
Allowing them to come and go,
Ebb and flow as is life.
We're going to start to take a nice scan of the body.
Noticing the area of the top of your head.
Allowing your body to melt into gravity.
Feeling every fiber,
Every muscle released just a little bit more with that beautiful breath.
Moving down the head,
Releasing any tension around the eyes,
Behind the eyes.
Moving down the neck,
Releasing the jaw even more,
Allowing the tongue to relax and settle.
Moving that awareness down the neck.
Maybe the shoulders can drop just a little bit more.
Relaxing every fiber,
Every molecule,
Every atom with the breath and awareness.
Moving down the chest and the back,
Down the core.
Releasing any tension in the hips.
With the breath moving down.
Down the legs and calves and feet.
Beautiful.
Know as you feel into the body,
Knowing you are here for a reason.
And you may repeat these affirmations either silently or aloud.
Or even allow your mind to visualize your perfect place of peace as your subconscious accepts the beautiful affirmations of authenticity.
I am ready.
I am ready to embrace authenticity in every way,
Shape and form.
I am the master of my own authenticity and no one can tell me otherwise because no one knows me as much as I know me.
I am my own best friend and I treat myself as such.
I allow my presence to define my authentic self and I easily release anything of the past that no longer embraces my authenticity.
I know who I am through my breath,
My awareness,
Through presence.
Through this practice right now,
I become more and more aware.
And the more I practice gentle kindness,
The more proud of myself I become.
I embrace gentle compassion with myself because I know that I am ever changing,
Ever evolving.
When others are unloving,
I embrace with love because I know that's who I am.
My divine self-expression is true to my own nature.
I look into the eyes of myself and I see the real,
The raw,
The authentic,
Me.
I lead with loss and authenticity.
I learn with authenticity.
I notice and feel into my heart what lights me up,
What fulfills me,
What drives me to make my soul sing.
I allow myself to be because that's the most natural form of living there is,
Being.
And as I am here breathing in my body,
I know,
I know I'm my own authentic self.
Authenticity might be a little bit messy and I'm okay with that mess.
I'm okay with that imperfection because I know imperfection is beautiful.
Imperfection is real.
And it's through my own imperfection I experience authenticity.
I discover new ways to honor and express myself every day.
It makes me feel excited to embrace challenges.
I grow and embrace myself every single day.
I find gratitude in my authenticity.
I feel this gratitude in my heart.
My authentic self knows exactly what I need and what I'm ready to let go of.
My authenticity is defined by my own goals,
My own wonderment,
My own purpose.
Even if I don't know that purpose just yet,
I know through breath and awareness that's all I need.
I no longer find comparing myself to others beneficial.
And if I find myself doing it,
I replace that comparison with care and kindness.
Who I am is natural.
It's a state of being and my worthiness isn't defined by anyone else but myself.
I allow myself to feel into every emotion that comes.
Whether it be painful,
I feel it.
I know by feeling my emotions,
I'm expanding my consciousness.
I know numbing my emotions hasn't helped me in the past,
Which is why I'm here right now.
Breathing.
Being.
My presence is the embodiment of being authentic.
Within my own authenticity,
I am love.
I am pure love.
I fill myself up with my own love.
And by filling myself up with love,
I allow my precious gifts,
My authenticity to spill out to others.
I set micro goals for myself so that I can easily fulfill them.
And I am gentle with myself with those goals.
I know that the more I embrace my own authenticity,
The more others will too.
I shine my own light because I inspire myself.
And through that inspiration I may inspire others.
And as we inspire each other,
We grow.
We evolve.
We live.
