Hi everyone.
Welcome to this affirmation meditation.
Before we begin,
I'd like to remind you of a few things.
As Latina women,
We are always expected to play some sort of role.
We're expected to be the mother,
The daughter,
The wife,
The leader of our families,
And I just want to remind you that you're more than all these labels.
I want to remind you that you're worthy of rest,
Of being your divine feminine,
And that you don't have to be and do it all for everyone.
That without all these labels,
You're still a beautiful and divine being.
And now,
I want you to find a comfortable position,
And that can be sitting upright or maybe lying down.
I want you to take a second to listen to your body and what it needs.
And if you haven't already,
I want you to gently begin to close your eyes.
Now that you found that comfortable position,
I want you to take a deep breath in through the nose,
And a deep exhale through the mouth.
Let's do this two more times.
Deep breath in through the nose,
And a sigh out through the mouth.
One more time.
Deep breath in,
And a deep breath out.
And as you do,
Allow yourself to sink deeper into relaxation.
And I want you to naturally guide yourself back to the regular breath,
And take your time.
And as you do,
I want you to notice if you're holding on to any tension.
Notice if you have any resistance to relaxation.
And if you do,
Notice where.
Is it maybe your forehead,
Your cheeks,
Your jaw?
Release.
Release your neck and your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your back.
Feel all of it get heavy.
Release your stomach,
Your hips,
Your legs,
Your calves,
And finally your beautiful grounded feet.
Feel your body fully relax.
And now that our bodies have fully relaxed,
I want you to welcome each of these beautiful affirmations.
Repeat each affirmation silently in your head,
Or maybe out loud if you prefer.
And just so you know,
I'll be saying them both in English and Spanish.
And I want you to feel the power and truth in each statement.
I am beautiful inside and out.
Yo soy bella por dentro y por fuera.
I am confident,
Capable,
And deserving of all good things.
Me tengo confianza,
Soy capaz,
Y merezco todas las cosas buenas.
I am worthy of love,
Respect,
And success.
Yo soy digna de amor,
Respeto,
Y éxito.
I am beacon of light and inspiration to others.
Yo soy luz y inspiración para los demás.
My voice is powerful and my words make a difference.
Mi voz es poderosa y mis palabras hacen la diferencia.
Being Latina is my source of strength and celebration.
Ser Latina es mi fuente de fortaleza y celebración.
I deserve to rest and prioritize my well-being.
Yo merezco descansar y priorizar mi bienestar.
My culture and traditions are a foundation of strength and a source of deep pride.
Mi cultura y mis tradiciones son un base de fortaleza y una fuente de profundo orgullo.
I will not let fear hold me back.
No dejaré que el miedo me detenga.
I am learning and growing every day.
Estoy aprendiendo y creciendo todos los días.
I honor my ancestors and carry their wisdom within me.
Honro a mis ancestros y llevo su sabiduría dentro de mí.
I forgive myself for my mistakes.
Me perdono por mis errores.
Being Latina is my greatest gift.
Ser Latina es mi mayor regalo.
As you repeat these affirmations,
I want you to feel them deeply.
I want you to take a second and sit in your essence and just simply feel them.
At this time,
I want you to imagine there's a warm golden light surrounding you.
Allow this light to represent the love,
Strength,
And wisdom of your ancestors.
Allow this light to fill your entire being from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
Feel it nourishing and empowering you.
And as we begin to close this meditation,
I really want you to take a moment to thank yourself for dedicating this time to your well-being.
And just know that these affirmations are always with you.
Always inside of you.
And now it's time to slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Maybe that means wiggling your fingers and your toes,
Making subtle body movements that feel good.
And whenever you're ready,
Please take your time.
Gently open your eyes.
And just a gentle reminder to take the strength and confidence you've cultivated here today into the rest of your day.
Thank you for joining me in this meditation.
You are powerful,
You are beautiful,
And you are enough.
Eres poderosa,
Eres hermosa,
Eres suficiente.
