Transcript

Begin by getting into a comfortable position,

Either seated or laying down.

As you settle in,

Begin to take some long,

Slow,

Deep breaths.

Feeling the belly with air as you inhale.

As you exhale,

Notice your body feeling lighter.

As you deepen the breath,

Scan over your body,

Looking for any areas where you may be experiencing discomfort.

Send a breath down to those areas of discomfort.

Enabling the body to fully unwind.

Allow any wandering thoughts or worries to come to the forefront of the mind.

See them for what they are without judging them or yourself.

This is a safe place,

Created to help you process all emotions and use them to empower yourself.

Continue breathing deeply,

Becoming aware of the rising and the falling of your chest with each breath.

As your mind begins to slow,

Take notice of one or two thoughts or worries that keep popping back up.

Focusing these thoughts or worries,

Try to shift your perspective.

Surrender these thoughts over to the universe and your inner being.

For right now,

Try to accept what is.

Think yourself,

What lessons is the universe trying to teach me in regards to these thoughts?

As you surrender and fully accept what is,

You are able to move into a place of compassion and love.

Everything happens for a reason.

There is always a lesson to be learned in every situation that brings up fear.

When we are able to see through the perspective that everything is happening for us,

We are able to reclaim our power.

We can shift our mindset and use this fear to better ourselves.

Trying to surrender and fully accept what is,

Opens the door to unconditional self-love.

Self-love is a place we choose.

As we learn to accept what is and have compassion for our self,

We let go of resistance.

It is in this place that we may fully heal and begin to change our lives for the better.

Being able to love the parts of you that you think are unlovable will set you free.

Moving forward,

Make the declaration to speak kindly to yourself.

To stop judging and comparing yourself to others.

To no longer feel guilty and to simply do the things you really want to do.

To stop blaming yourself and stop feeling like things are your fault.

Instead,

Show up for yourself.

Trust yourself and your inner wisdom.

Refresh and love yourself unconditionally.

Commit to you and your self-love journey.

No more negative self-talk.

When you notice yourself doing this,

Have compassion for yourself and choose again.

Replace that negative self-talk with a positive affirmation.

In every moment,

You can always choose again.

Choose to see through the eyes of love.

Fow to nurture and love yourself.

In doing this,

You will reclaim your power.

Your life will transform before your eyes.

In the most magical and unexpected ways.

You will see for yourself that self-acceptance is joy.

Begin to bring your awareness back into your body.

Wiggling your fingers and toes.

Giving your body a light stretch.

When you feel you are ready,

Open your eyes.

I thank you for the direction this meditation took me - self-compassion/self love and seeing things the way they are, but from a different perspective of benefit. This meditation was actually very hard (emotionally) for me, so I know it's where my growth is calling me. So again - thank you 🙏
