Welcome,
Beautiful soul.
My name is Kim,
And I wish to guide you on a journey of self-love today.
Love is,
I believe,
The most important energy or frequency in this universe.
And when we fill our own cups,
We can give from the overflow to the people,
To the beings around us.
So I invite you to find a comfortable position,
Seated or laying down,
And to perhaps close your eyes if that feels right.
If not,
You can soften your gaze and be.
We'll start with a few deep breaths.
Breathing in for four,
Breathing out for four.
Letting go of anything that doesn't serve you.
Breathing in and sighing out.
Let's do that twice more.
Breathing in and exhaling.
Once more,
Make it a deep,
Deep breath.
Breathing in and breathing out.
And gently allowing your body to come back to its normal breathing pace.
I invite you to feel your body on the seat underneath you,
Or perhaps your mat or bed.
And just notice the surfaces of where your body ends and the surface underneath you starts.
Perhaps sensing the clothing on your skin.
To slowly but surely connect at a deeper level with your body.
With this magical,
Beautiful vessel that you chose for this lifetime.
Now let's place a hand,
Or both hands if you can,
On your heart.
Feel the beating of your big,
Beautiful heart in your chest.
Beating day and night.
With all its love for you.
It's just one part of your physical body that does its job magnificently and beautifully day in,
Day out.
That goes automatically.
Perhaps at the level of our mind,
We find ourselves thinking of things that are wrong with us,
Or things we've said or done or didn't do or didn't say.
We might see flaws in our physical self,
In our behavior,
Yet our body doesn't see any of this.
Our body shows up for us every minute of our day.
So I wish for us today to adopt a similar energy to our body.
One that shows up,
That cheerleads for ourselves every moment of our existence.
May the beating of your heart be a reminder of this whenever you feel perhaps challenged,
Sad,
Anxious,
Or you're just not feeling it.
Bring your hand on your heart,
Take a deep breath and know that there is someone,
Your physical body,
Supporting you,
Loving you always,
Regardless of what is happening outside of you.
I'm going to take you on a little visualization journey.
Just imagine that we have a cup,
Perhaps a ceramic cup,
Perhaps it's a crystal cup,
Porcelain or some other material that you love.
Think of the most beautiful cup that you've ever seen.
And imagine it in energetic form inside your heart.
With the beating of your heart,
You're going to notice an energy flow,
Like a wave or a waterfall,
Or perhaps it shows up in a different form for you,
Rose petals or rice grains,
Little rocks or pebbles,
But your heart is going to show you that you have the capacity to fill your own cup,
You yourself,
Not needing anybody,
Anything externally.
Imagining this beautiful cup,
The middle of your chest,
With every heartbeat,
This energy of love is going to start filling your cup.
At first a thin layer,
The exact shape your heart is showing you,
Your love today.
And you'll notice that quickly,
With every beat,
Your cup starts to fill more and more and more until it reaches the edge.
And then this love starts to overflow.
On all sides,
All around your cup.
And this love starts to flow up and down,
Sideways,
Back,
Front,
It's like a magical substance.
It reaches down into your stomach,
Into your liver,
Into your pancreas,
Into your pelvis,
Down all the way through your legs.
It's like this nourishing balm,
This hug,
This energetic hug or embrace.
It simultaneously goes up as well into your chest,
Into your breasts or breasts,
Into your throat,
Up into your shoulders,
Down into your arms,
Your elbows,
Your hands,
To the tips of your fingers.
And it doesn't skip any part.
It goes right into your veins,
Into your bones,
Into every cell.
And it continues to move up into your jaw,
Your cheeks,
Your tongue,
Your teeth,
Your nose and eyes,
To the top of your skull,
Into your hair,
Your ears,
All the way down into your spine,
Connecting with the chakras,
With the energy centers,
Bringing re-found balance.
And your cells feel giggly and excited,
For this might not be a sensation that you consciously gift yourself,
Your body,
Very often.
And this wave,
This waterfall of this loving substance just continues to seep in deeper and deeper and deeper into every cell.
And it then extends into your emotional body,
Into your subconscious,
Into your mental mind,
And all the way into your aura,
Into your spiritual aspects,
The energetic bodies.
It just feels so beautiful to gift yourself your own love,
In a society where,
In a world where we may have been taught to put other people first,
To please others for whatever reason.
And yes,
That is very noble and needed,
Of course.
Yet if this giving,
This protecting,
This serving comes from a half empty or empty cup,
That does not serve you.
So coming to this practice,
And gifting yourself your own loving attention,
Is such a gift.
In a few moments of silence,
I will allow you,
Give you space to let this waterfall of love travel deeper and deeper into your body,
To all of your bodies,
Noticing if there are any parts of your body that may feel a little bit more closed up,
Where there perhaps is a bit of resistance,
Where perhaps emotion comes up.
Allow your breath to travel to those spaces,
And create even the slightest opening.
I get a vision of being in the darkness,
And then a very bright light coming into that darkness.
We squint and need to get adjusted.
Perhaps this is what certain parts of your body feel now as well.
So be gentle with yourself,
And know that you can always come back to this practice.
It might actually be beautiful to come back,
And fill your cup this way.
Just breathe a count of four in and four out a couple more times,
To integrate this beautiful loving energy.
Breathing out.
Breathing in.
And breathing out.
Once more,
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
I'm asking you to caress any body parts that need any extra attention today,
Or perhaps to embrace yourself,
Hug yourself,
And really feel this divine love seeping into every part of your beautiful self.
I wish you to feel refreshed and rejuvenated when you wake up from this meditation.
That you may feel deeply loved.
May this love ripple out naturally into all the beings on our planet,
All your loved ones,
The animals,
Plants,
Trees,
Flowers,
The elements,
Into all that is.
Nearby this practice comes to a completion,
Inviting you to very gently bring movement into your toes,
Into your fingers.
And if it feels right,
Stay and rest as long as needed.
Drink some extra water or herbal tea,
And do the things that you love today.
I send my gratitude and love from my heart to yours,
And I hope to share this space with you again very soon.
Blessings.
