Welcome to the Daily Insight.
My name is Linda Hall and I'm a teacher here on Insight Timer.
Today's meditation will help boost your self-esteem and wellbeing using a combination of practices including mindfulness,
Grounding,
Breath awareness,
Loving kindness,
Positive visualization and affirmations.
Allow your eyes to comfortably close.
As you do so,
Bring your awareness down to where the weight of your body rests on the surface directly beneath you.
Notice the support beneath you is steady.
Sit back onto the steadiness.
Let it take more of your weight.
Become aware of the sensation of air entering your nostrils and leaving.
Notice the movements your body makes as you breathe.
Allow everything to be as it is without judging it.
Sense the horizon stretching all the way around you into the distance and beyond.
The height of sky above you.
Notice the spaciousness.
Breathe the spaciousness into places within you that have got closed off,
Shut down,
Full up or something else.
Let your attitude towards yourself soften and become kinder,
Warmer.
Let loving kindness surround you like a nest.
Breathe the loving kindness in and out.
As you do so,
Let the light of the universe in to strengthen and nourish you.
Allow radiant light and loving kindness to bathe and surround every part of you.
And say the affirmations,
I love and value myself.
I believe and trust in myself.
Picture all the wonders and exquisite beauty of the natural world around you.
And know that you are as miraculous and beautiful as all of this.
You have a unique purpose and a right to be here.
You are capable of great things.
Appreciate yourself for being you.
And when you are ready,
You can draw this meditation to a close.
