We all know that the world is feeling a bit sick.
People from all over the world,
Every shape,
Size,
Age and colour are being affected by the coronavirus.
Even those that aren't sick with the virus are feeling things because of it.
Who might feel nervous or scared?
Who might feel bored from being at home?
Who might feel frustrated with how life has changed for a while?
Who would like to help me send some loving,
Healing thoughts into the world?
With our thoughts,
We can wrap the world in love to help it get better soon.
We're going to start with sending love to ourselves and then we're going to spread it wider and wider until we've covered the whole world.
Shall we start?
Let's start by sitting comfortably.
You can sit on a cushion or a chair or a bed,
Anywhere you like.
Sit with your back nice and straight and put your hands on your knees because it helps them not to wiggle around.
You can close your eyes if you want to if that makes you feel good.
And just sort of start to calm your body down.
When I'm feeling wiggly,
It helps me to take some big deep breaths.
So let's do some together.
Take a big deep breath in and imagine the breath going all the way into your tummy.
Blowing it up like a balloon and then breathe all the air out.
Great.
Let's do another one.
Big deep breath into your tummy.
Then breathe it all out.
Let's do one last relaxing breath.
Big breath in and blow every single bit out.
Now I want you to imagine something.
Can you imagine that you can see love?
Imagine that it looks like a warm,
Glowing ball of light in your chest.
Picture the ball of light,
Your ball of light warming your whole body and making you feel loved.
This ball of love is going to spread all over the world.
Let's begin with ourselves.
So with your eyes closed,
Picture the ball of love glowing and filling your own body and repeat these words after me.
May I be happy.
May I be safe.
May I be healthy.
May I be loved.
Great.
Now we're going to spread the ball a little wider to all of the people in your home.
Picture the light shining on all of them and making them feel warm and loved.
We're going to say the same words but this time to all the people in your home.
So again you can repeat after me.
Picture your ball of light growing and covering all the people in your home.
To everyone in my home,
May you be happy.
May you be safe.
May you be healthy.
May you be loved.
Okay.
Now I need you to really grow your ball of love and spread it out over your whole city.
Picture the light shining on everyone in your city,
Landing on each of them inside their homes and making them feel warm and loved.
We're going to say the same words this time to all the people in your city.
Are you ready to repeat after me?
To everyone in my city,
May you be happy.
May you be safe.
May you be healthy.
May you be loved.
Are you ready to make your ball of love huge?
Picture it covering your whole country.
Making every single person big and small feel warm and loved.
We're going to say the same words this time to all the people in your country.
To everyone in my country,
May you be happy.
May you be safe.
May you be healthy.
May you be loved.
We're doing so well.
This is the last one so let's put all our love into this.
Are you ready?
We're going to cover the whole world in love.
Picture your glowing light growing and growing and covering the entire planet.
So the world looks like a big glowing light of love.
While we do this,
Let's say our words to every single person on the planet.
Repeat after me.
To everyone on earth,
May you be happy.
May you be safe.
May you be healthy.
May you be loved.
Now listen to the sounds in the room around you.
Notice the feeling of the seat or the ground beneath you.
Move your hands and wiggle your toes and open your eyes.
Thank you for doing this with me today.
Love can really change the world and your love will make a big difference.
