May this meditation fill your heart with compassion and love for yourself and others.

Let us begin by taking a few deep and relaxing breaths as you let any tension in your body dissolve.

Relaxing and letting go.

Surrendering to waves of soothing,

Deepening comfort.

Every breath takes you closer to your inner sanctuary,

A place of safety and beauty.

As you naturally transition and relax deeply.

Every breath is an invitation to just let go.

And allow your mind to rest as well.

Begin now by imagining a radiant,

Beautiful light.

A loving warmth that streams into your body.

A soothing,

Healing energy.

A luminous,

Glowing light.

The energy of compassion and love.

Flowing into your body.

Filling every cell.

Radiating.

Surrounding you with warmth,

Love and profound acceptance for who you are.

For the life you are given.

Surround and fill yourself with this loving light.

Let it flow into the area of your heart.

Flooding your heart with light.

Releasing any darkness or heaviness.

Feel the soothing warmth.

And the love that is eternal,

All-encompassing and ever-present.

Let yourself fill with this radiant,

Glowing love.

With the light of compassion and deep self-acceptance.

Allow this glowing love to flow.

Flow into all the places inside that need to be loved and accepted.

All of you that needs to feel compassion.

Let every aspect of who you are be embraced in this loving energy.

In soothing,

Healing self-acceptance.

Unconditional,

Unwavering compassion.

Dissolving all blocks and healing every wound.

Allow this light to even flow into the past,

Into all those times when you needed to feel this love.

When you wanted to be surrounded by compassion and acceptance.

It may be all the way into childhood,

Into any time you needed to feel love,

Acceptance and compassion.

Let the warmth of that light,

The depth of that compassion,

Wash away pain from the past.

The experiences that need to be healed.

Surround the child you were a long time ago with this loving light.

With the heart of compassion.

A compassion that is greater than all of us.

That is older than time.

A love that holds and heals everything.

Feel the depth of that love surrounding you.

Filling you.

Healing you.

And allow this light,

This love and compassion.

To fill every one of your days.

To flow into the future.

Let it surround you with compassion.

With the foundation of acceptance.

Healing.

Integrating.

Embracing all of who you are.

And celebrating the special gift of your life.

Every single day.

The precious opportunity to awaken each morning and to greet the sun.

You are a miracle.

A precious life.

The beauty of nature is within you.

You are created from stardust.

The same as the forest and the oceans.

The roses and hummingbirds.

The sunrise is for you.

You who are able to witness it.

The miracle of life awakens every day with you.

There is only love for you.

The human miracle.

Awakening on this jewel of a planet.

Whirling through space.

And as you turn towards others,

Connect with the heart of compassion.

And extend that acceptance,

Love and understanding towards all beings.

For every person you interact with.

Feel that love.

Live in compassion.

And if there is someone in your life right now you would like to feel compassion for.

Maybe a person you have difficulty with.

Take a moment.

And from your heart send love and light to theirs.

The pure energy of compassion.

Surround them with that light.

Feel that love.

And connect from the place of compassion,

From your heart to theirs.

From your humanity to the others tender place within.

Let yourself clear any negativity you might have felt.

Feel and surround yourself and the other person with this profound prayer of compassion.

And a gesture of peace towards them.

And in the coming days and weeks notice the shifts between you and the other person.

Most importantly,

Notice the shift in your own heart.

The healing that occurs.

The love that you connect with.

And as you move through your day,

Through your week,

You may notice your heart softening.

Your capacity to feel compassion expanding.

What a beautiful gift to feel and share with others.

Like a lovely garden growing in the warmth of the sun and the gentle rain.

Feeling your capacity for compassion growing every day.

Feeling love towards yourself and others.

A profound foundation for a wonderful life.

Unfolding all of who you are.

And living your full potential.

Compassion heals.

Compassion builds.

Compassion embraces.

And in the coming days and weeks you may feel yourself softening towards yourself and others.

As you develop a gentle heart.

You grow in your capacity to love.

And planting the seed of love and compassion deeply within your own being.

And during the night while you sleep and dream.

These words and suggestions integrate deeply into the very core of your being.

And very gently now.

From this place of love and compassion.

Begin to return.

From this inner sanctuary.

This experience stays with you and unfolds like a beautiful rose in your heart.

And very gently as you awaken.

You bring the glow of compassion.

And a commitment to deepen in your capacity to love.

As you awaken to this day and time.

And you are fully awake and alert.

Enjoying your day.
