Hello,
This is Karen with Open Lotus Meditation.
In this meditation,
We're going to be opening our heart to loving our bodies a little bit more,
Surrendering to the beauty that lies within us.
We're going to be awakening this beautiful love through affirmations.
Let's begin by gently closing over our eyes,
Taking a slow deep breath in and releasing.
Let's do that one more time.
Slow deep breath in and release.
Let go.
Start to relax your body,
Releasing all tension.
If you need to,
Take a slow motion of your neck around in a circle.
Breathe in and release.
Allowing your shoulders to fall away from your ears,
Relaxing a little bit deeper,
Letting go a little bit deeper.
As we awaken our self-love for our body,
Let's begin with awareness.
What do you really see in the mirror when you look at yourself?
Allow those emotions to bubble up,
Maybe there's shame,
Pain,
Even fear.
What do you see when you look in the mirror,
At your body,
At your face?
Be here for a moment.
Even as those emotions come up,
Let's spend a little time releasing them by taking a slow deep breath in and let it go.
We are not our emotions.
In this moment,
We can release all of those negative feelings and let's awaken positive nurturing feelings for our bodies by asking,
What am I grateful for in this moment for my body?
What am I grateful for in this moment for my body?
And choose one thing or several,
Allow yourself to surrender to these nurturing,
Positive,
Joyful energies.
Be here for a moment.
And as we awaken these positive,
Nurturing,
Beautiful energies for our bodies,
Let's reinforce this positive energy with affirmations.
All you have to do is listen to my voice.
My body deserves love and respect.
My body deserves love and respect.
So breath in and release.
I love my body as it is today.
I love the way I look.
I love my body as it is today.
I love the way I look.
Breath in and release.
My worth is not defined by my weight.
I define my worth and I am worthy.
My worth is not defined by my weight.
I define my worth and I am worthy.
Breath in and release.
I am beautiful.
I am beautiful.
Breath in and release.
I am comfortable in my own skin.
I am comfortable in my own skin.
Breath in and release.
Others opinions of my body do not affect me.
Others opinions of my body do not affect me.
Breath in and release.
My body,
My beautiful loving body,
I promise to love and cherish you always.
I am sorry for ever being cruel to you and ask you for forgiveness.
I am sorry for being cruel to you and I ask you for forgiveness.
Breath in and release.
Allow these beautiful affirmations to settle into your space by taking a few moments to breath in and release.
Take a slow deep breath in and let it go.
We'll seal this meditation by chanting Aum,
The hymn of the universe that connects us through space and time.
Taking a slow deep breath in.
Place your hands towards your heart center and say Namaste.
I honor the divine light in you that is also in me.
And when you're in that space,
And I'm in that space,
We are one.
Namaste.
This is Karen with Open Lotus Meditation sending you love and light.
