Beloved,
Let us take this sacred moment to turn our attention inward to the sanctuary of the heart.
Close the outer eyes gently as if drawing the curtains of the world and turn your gaze within.
Here,
In the temple of your being,
Let the breath be your guide.
Inhale and with it draw in the grace that surrounds you.
Exhale,
Releasing all that no longer serves.
In this rhythmic dance,
Find your centre.
Imagine a gentle light,
A radiant glow emanating from the centre of your chest.
This light is the essence of love,
The boundless wellspring of compassion,
A gift from the infinite.
Repeat after me,
Not with a voice,
But with the silent knowing within your heart.
I am worthy.
I am deserving of love and kindness.
Feel these words not as an affirmation,
But as a recognition of your innate divinity.
With each inhale,
Let this light expand,
Filling every cell,
Every particle of your being.
Feel it infuse your entire existence.
As you exhale,
Release any self-doubt,
Any judgements and allow them to dissolve into the boundless space within.
Now picture a younger version of yourself,
Innocent and full of potential standing before you.
See the purity in their eyes,
The unspoken wisdom.
Gently extend your arms and embrace them,
Whispering words of solace and assurance.
In this sacred communion,
Feel the merging of past and present,
A timeless dance of self-compassion.
Inhale deeply,
Allowing this tender embrace to permeate every fibre of your being.
And exhale,
Releasing any remnants of self-criticism or unworthiness.
Know that in this moment,
You are held in the arms of boundless love,
Cradled in the bosom of existence.
Allow this knowing to permeate every corner of your being.
As we prepare to the turn,
Slowly open your outer eyes and carry with you the resonance of self-compassion.
Walk with the knowing that you are a beacon of love in this world,
A reflection of the infinite.
Namaste.
