Giving yourself the gift of permission is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. It is one of the hallmarks of healing your self esteem. This meditation begins with a self audit on different areas of your life to discern where you are struggling to give yourself permission. We then move into a series of what I like to call permission slips, giving yourself permission to be unapologetically you! A shorter version is also available with just the permission slips.

Welcome to the Gift of Permission Meditation.

This meditation is a series of permission slips to allow yourself to explore where in your life you are not giving yourself permission to be the biggest and best version of yourself.

As we go through this meditation and as I repeat to you these permission slips,

Allow yourself to feel into them.

Which ones trigger you?

Which ones feel safe and comfortable?

And which ones do you aspire to?

Stay with the feeling and allow yourself to explore where the blocks may be in giving yourself permission in this particular area of your life.

So as we go through the permission slips,

Allow the energy to shift within you to give yourself permission to be the best version of yourself.

So let's take a deep breath together and allow ourselves to go inwards and with the next breath allowing your body to soften and open and expand.

And on the next exhale just let go any stress or anxiety that you're holding and allow yourself to go even deeper into the truth of who you are.

Letting go the mental realms,

Allowing your mind to rest and coming into the safe temple and home of your body as we explore the energy of permission.

I believe this is the greatest gift you can give yourself and it is a hallmark of the healing of self-esteem and an important ingredient in self-love,

This initiation of permission.

As you sit in this moment,

Allow yourself to contemplate the different areas of your life and the permission that you allow yourself and the boundaries that you allow yourself to have in each of the different areas of your life.

Explore now your work,

Career life.

Do you allow yourself boundaries here?

Are you able to say yes to you and no to things that are not in a line?

Do you give yourself permission to speak up?

How do you give yourself permission in this area of your life?

We're going to now move into the financial area of your life.

Where do you give yourself permission here?

Do you freely give yourself permission to enjoy money,

To take responsibility,

To receive money,

To spend money,

To invest money,

To play with money?

What's this area of your life like?

Now let's move into relationships.

Do you give yourself permission to have me time?

Do your permission slips change here?

Is this an area that is easy or harder to give yourself permission to be free,

To be you?

Let's move into the area of children.

If you have children,

Your family life,

Your friendships,

Do you put yourself first?

Do you give yourself enough me time?

Do your permission slips change here?

Do you feel more comfortable or less comfortable?

If you're in business and you have clients,

Do you give yourself permission to take time out of your business?

Do you have boundaries with your clients?

What is it like in this area of your life?

And lastly,

Is there another area of your life that we haven't touched on yet?

Perhaps health.

Do you give yourself permission to love your body,

To eat what you want to eat,

To exercise when you want to exercise,

To choose how you interact with your body?

And let's just have one more moment of contemplation about any other area in your life where you may struggle with giving yourself permission.

Just observe with our judgement and now we may have brought some things to the surface and as we do these affirmations,

Allow yourself to shift into the energy that's required for you to be in your gift of permission.

Let's begin.

Today and every day,

I give myself permission to be me,

To come from the place of authenticity,

Free to be me.

I give myself permission to say no to things that don't enhance my life.

I give myself permission to say yes to things that I enjoy,

That I love,

That inspire me,

Enrich me and nurture me.

I give myself permission to be exactly where I am right now,

As now is sacred ground.

I give myself permission to be the authority of my life,

To take sovereign ownership of my body,

My mind and my energy.

Today I give myself permission to change and I don't need anyone else to tell me I make this decision for myself.

Today I give myself permission to be free,

Free to enjoy my life,

Free to be me,

Free to explore a beautiful sunset,

Free to play,

To see beauty,

To invest in myself,

To love myself,

To love others,

To be my potential.

Today I give myself permission to be free.

Today I give myself permission to be successful in whatever way success looks like for me that day.

Today I give myself permission to be loved.

I give myself permission to love.

I give myself permission to put myself first and I explore my needs and desires and choose me in all of those.

Today I give myself permission to have fun,

To be playful,

To enjoy myself,

To not take myself seriously and to allow others to see more of my playful self.

Today I give myself permission to access all of my unique gifts,

No longer hiding my light or hiding behind self-doubt.

Today I claim and give myself permission to access all of my unique gifts.

Today I give myself permission to feel safe,

To feel nurtured.

I give myself permission to be passionate,

Alive,

Influential and magnetic.

Today I give myself permission to be in a loving relationship that supports me,

Nurtures me.

Today I give myself permission to not be in a relationship.

Today I give myself permission to receive money,

To enjoy it,

To embrace it,

To be in a beautiful and harmonious relationship with money.

Today I give myself permission to be healthy.

I give myself permission to rest.

I give myself permission to choose what I eat and not be told.

I give myself permission to be whatever body shape I want.

I give myself permission to have my feelings about my body image and I allow myself to express those feelings without guilt or shame.

I give myself permission to choose a different path from what my family expected.

I stand in my strength and truth and choose me.

I give myself permission to divorce my family in order to heal if that is what I need right now.

I give myself permission to work in a career that inspires me,

That expands me,

That nurtures me and supports me.

I give myself permission to let go of the things that no longer bring me joy.

Today I give myself permission to buy something special for myself just because.

Today I give myself permission to be happy.

I give myself permission to let more joy in my life.

Today I give myself permission to make a mistake,

To fail spectacularly.

I give myself permission to trust my intuition,

To trust me and to follow my intuition.

Today I give myself permission just to feel my feelings without judgment,

Without explanation,

Without a hidden agenda,

To just feel.

Today I give myself permission to believe in things that others think are weird.

I give myself permission to be woohoo,

To be weird,

To have my own unique quirks.

Today I give myself permission to not take on other people's judgment if it is not in alignment with my truth.

I choose now to let go of all the words and all of the imprints of others and reveal the true me.

Today I give myself permission to have my truth,

To fall more deeply in love with myself,

To know myself,

To reveal my purpose and to live my truth.

Today I give myself permission to be exactly who I am right now.

Today I give myself permission to know that I am enough,

Always have been and always will be.

Today I give myself permission to be unashamedly and unapologetically me.

As you allow yourself to sit with the energy of that,

Notice if any of those affirmations triggered something within you.

Be gentle with yourself and maybe repeat it more than once today.

It's okay to give yourself permission to reflect and to reassess what your boundaries are today.

Allow the energy to shift within you and if there's one particular affirmation that is more difficult than the others,

Maybe make it a daily practice to do that one for a week.

Coming back into the room now and just feeling your body centred in the room,

Perhaps you feel lighter and more expanded and then opening your eyes with a great big smile,

Ready to give yourself permission to be you today.
