Good morning.
Welcome to this loving kindness morning meditation.
When you're ready,
Find a comfortable spot for you to be in for the next few minutes.
Maybe you're still in bed and you can just stretch out your legs,
Your arms,
Your fingers,
Circle your wrists,
Gently circle your feet.
Get yourself comfortable.
Maybe you're sitting already in a chair or on a couch or on the floor.
You can circle your shoulders gently,
Stretch your back a little bit.
Make yourself comfortable.
If you'd like,
You can close your eyes and let's start by taking a deep,
Calming breath.
Allow yourself to settle into this moment,
Feeling the gentle support of the earth beneath you.
As you begin,
Breathe deeply.
Let your breath become a soothing rhythm in and out.
In and out.
With each inhale,
Invite a sense of peace into your body.
And then with each exhale,
See yourself releasing any tension or any worry that may still be here from yesterday or might be about what's to come today.
Release.
Now bring your attention to your heart.
Imagine a warm,
Gentle light glowing within it.
This light is your source of loving kindness,
A boundless reservoir of compassion and love.
It is unlimited.
As you breathe,
Feel this light growing warmer and brighter.
Filling your entire chest with a sense of comfort and a sense of well-being.
Yes.
Now silently repeat these phrases to yourself,
Allowing their meaning to sink deeply into your being.
May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I be safe.
May I be at peace.
Feel the light.
Feel the loving kindness these words carry.
Let them wrap around you like a soft blanket.
Allow yourself to receive this kindness fully,
Knowing that you deserve this.
Expand this feeling of loving kindness outward.
Visualize someone you care about and send this light and these words to them.
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be safe.
May you be at peace.
Feel the warmth of your compassion flowing from your heart to theirs,
Connecting you both in this shared space of love and support.
In this space of peace,
Openness,
Of deep-hearted loving kindness.
If it's comfortable for you,
Let's extend this loving kindness to others in our life.
This may include other friends,
Family,
Colleagues,
And it can include people that you may be experiencing some difficulties with.
Envision the light from your heart,
This abundant,
Limitless light,
Reaching out to them and repeat,
May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be safe.
May you be at peace.
Wow,
That's powerful.
Let this light and these words encompass all beings everywhere,
Spreading love and compassion around the entire world.
Feel the interconnectedness of all life and know that your loving kindness contributes to a collective sense of peace and harmony.
When you're ready,
Bring your awareness back to yourself.
Take a few deep breaths.
Feeling the loving kindness you have cultivated,
Knowing that you carry this sense of compassion and support within you,
And it will be within you throughout this day.
When you're ready,
You can gently open your eyes,
Feeling refreshed and centered.
Let this loving kindness set the tone for your day,
Guiding you with warmth and compassion.
May you move through your day with a heart full of love,
Ready to share it.
Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for choosing this work.
Thank you for allowing yourself to feel that loving kindness to you.
Powerful gift.
Good morning.
