She gave you life,
Literally or figuratively.
She modeled love,
Unconditional,
True love.
She helped mold you into the woman you are today,
Your mother.
So the intention of today's meditation is to honor your mother.
This could be your birth mother,
Your adopted mother,
Or even a woman who has been a mother figure for you throughout your life.
Let's begin by closing your eyes and getting into a comfortable position.
Let your body relax.
Let your mind start to slow down.
And let yourself feel your breath.
Feel the oxygen entering your body,
Expanding your chest and belly.
And feel your breath leave through your exhale as your body pulls back in.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Come to this moment.
Let an image of your mother come to mind.
It could be your mother as you know her now in the present moment,
Or a memory you have of her as a younger woman.
Just hold the image of her in your mind.
Let yourself observe her.
Notice her eyes.
Her facial expression.
Her hair.
Her posture.
Imagine that she's sitting in her favorite chair.
A smile on her face,
Ready to be with you.
You feel special,
Loved,
Grateful.
I love you,
Mom,
You hear yourself say.
And you see her face soften and light up.
So you continue.
You have taught me what love is,
Not because you told me,
But because you showed me.
You showed me through your tenderness,
Your toughness,
Your discipline,
And your play.
You've modeled for me what it means to be a woman.
And that foundation has helped me blossom into my own version of womanhood.
I love you.
Even though you made mistakes,
Even though there may have been pain between us,
I love you.
Thank you for being you.
I am so grateful that I'm your daughter.
Now take a moment to look at your mother.
See her eyes glaze lightly with tears.
Notice her body is relaxed and settled.
See how lit up she is by hearing your words.
What else do you want to say to her?
For the next few minutes,
The music will play without guidance from me as you allow yourself to shower your mother with any thoughts or expressions of love you'd like to share.
Remember that this is a safe space for you.
Now take a deep breath in.
And on your exhale,
Relax your body further into your position.
And let yourself speak to your mom.
Remember to stand silent.
You you you you you Now bring your attention back to your breath And come back here into the present moment Your mother didn't do it all perfectly But today,
Whether she's still here with you or our time here on earth has passed Let her feel your love and appreciation Because one thing she did do right is you Namaste beautiful you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you
