Soften your gaze or gently close your eyes.
If it feels good to you,
Gently rest your hands over your heart.
Tune into the present moment,
Allowing your body to relax wherever you may be.
Take a deep breath in and exhale any stress or tension out of your body.
Take another deep breath in,
Allowing everything that no longer serves you to simply fade away.
Allow your thoughts to dissolve as you sink into this moment.
Visualize a beautiful paper lantern resting in your heart.
Allow this lantern to fill with feelings of love,
Peace,
Compassion,
And balance.
As these feelings strengthen and grow,
Allow them to fill your lantern with emerald green light.
Watch as this light emanates out of your lantern in all directions.
Allow it to radiate throughout your body.
See this emerald green light flowing out beyond your body,
Allowing you to share your compassion,
Love,
And lightheartedness with the world.
Begin to visualize your loved ones standing beside you.
See their beautiful lanterns emanating light and love from their hearts to yours.
Open yourself to receiving their pure green heart energy.
Allow any negativity to dissipate and transmute.
Allow any fuzziness to clear.
Watch as your lantern grows and brightens as you give and receive this beautiful light.
Fully immerse yourself in this healing light while repeating the following affirmations three times.
I am open to receiving.
I am worthy of love.
I am at peace.
I love myself.
I show up for myself in new ways.
I joyously take care of my needs first.
I am balanced.
I am loved.
Gently return your focus to your own heart center,
Finding the balance,
Stillness,
And love it contains.
Whenever you're ready,
Bring your focus back to your breath and the present moment,
Knowing you can tune in to your heart lantern whenever you may need it again.
