Welcome to this meditation. You're here to offer yourself a moment of care. Once you've found a quiet space, Settle into a position where you can relax. You may sit or lie down, Whatever feels best. When you are ready. Gently close your eyes. Take a deep breath in through your nose. And slowly exhale through your mouth. With each breath. Let go of the busyness of your day a little more. Inhale deeply through your nose. Exhale through your mouth. Calm, Deep breaths. Notice the flow of your breath in and out. Observe your natural rhythm without trying to change it. Let it come and go as it is. Imagine that each breath brings calmness, Into your body. Slowly bring your attention through your body. Start with your feet. Then move to your legs. Abdomen, Chest. Shoulders. And finally your head. With each breath. Send a feeling of warmth and acceptance to each area. If you notice tension. Breathe into it consciously. And allow your body to release. Now place one hand gently on your heart. Feel the warmth of your hand. Imagine your heart space expanding. And brightening with every breath. With each inhale, Draw love and kindness into yourself. With each exhale. Release tension. And serve criticism. Inhale, Receive. Exhale, Let go. Giving it all away to the ground. Silently speak to yourself slowly in your own rhythm. If thoughts arise, Let them pass gently and return your focus to your heart space. Repeat these phrases in your mind. I am enough just as I am. I allow myself to be kind to myself. I deserve love and compassion. I accept myself with everything that belongs to me. I offer myself gentleness and trust today. Now bring your awareness again to your heart space. And let this feeling spread throughout your entire body. Like a light radiating from your heart. Take one more deep breath in. Anne out. And simply notice. Bring your attention back to your body. Feel the contact of your body with the floor or chair. Take a few more deep, Calming breaths. Silently thank yourself for giving yourself this time. When you are ready, Slowly open your eyes and return to your day. With a sense of calm, Love and peace. And self-acceptance.
