Welcome to this guided meditation on calling in and inviting good love,
Real love,
The love that you really want in your life.
Before we go any further,
I want to validate that wanting romantic love is one of the most normal and natural human desires.
Not everyone wants or needs romantic love,
But we all need connection and community.
And partnership is a major goal for many of us and a perfectly valid one to work towards.
There is plenty of dating advice that you can get out there in the world,
But before we're ready to really jump into that,
We might want to take a look at what's happening inside ourselves,
What we really want,
What our intentions are,
What we fear,
And what we may or may not be ready for.
This meditation will help with that.
If you haven't already,
Go ahead and take a nice deep breath and get settled.
Move if you need to,
Get comfortable in your seat or however you may be resting.
Let's start really simply.
Take a moment to think about what you want when it comes to partnership.
Imagine that ideal partner for you,
What it might be like to be in love and in commitment.
Sit with that image or those ideas or those thoughts for a moment.
As you are calling up your intentions around love,
I want you to notice what you feel in your body.
What rises up to the surface?
What do you feel in your heart,
Your gut,
Shoulders?
You may notice warm,
Gentle,
Good sensations,
But there may also be some tension or anxiety or fear that rises up as well.
For now,
Just notice.
Before we go to the desire,
I want to attend to the fear.
Many of us have fears around dating,
Especially if we've been heard before or if it hasn't worked out in the way we want it to.
Give that fear or anger or resistance or tension or whatever it is a little bit of space,
A little bit of time to just be there.
You don't have to do anything with it right now.
Just notice what it feels like.
It has a shape,
A texture,
A color.
Let it talk to you.
What is the fear exactly?
What does this part have to say around dating or receiving love or commitment?
As these fears arise,
Notice if you're judging them.
Validate them instead.
If you've been hurt before,
It's natural to not want to be hurt again.
It makes sense that parts of you may not want to try or may feel some tension or anxiety around trying.
Now let's turn our attention to the part of you that wants love anyway.
The part of you that is willing to take the risk,
To try again,
To open yourself to love.
Where does that part live in your body?
What does it look or feel like?
Let that part speak.
What would the desire say to the fear?
Take some time to listen to the conversation.
It's okay to be afraid.
The fearful part of you might need some boundaries or some other type of concessions to feel safe enough to move forward.
Is there anything specific that that part needs that you could help it with in order to allow that moving forward?
When you feel ready,
Thank these parts of you for speaking with you.
All of your parts have wisdom,
Even when they disagree with each other.
They will take part in your choices,
Whether you attend to them or not,
So it's incredibly important to attend to them.
Take a couple of breaths,
Just noticing whatever it is you may have learned today.
You may want to take some time to journal about this inner conversation.
When you feel ready,
You can gently wake your body back up to the space you're in,
Whatever else you have going on today.
I wish you the best in finding exactly what you're looking for.
