Finding the real value in your life meditation by Tarika Lovegarden.
Please find a comfortable position and close your eyes.
Rest your hands on your heart center in the middle of your chest.
Receiving the quiet beauty of your heart.
Feel the gentle rhythm of your breathing.
Breathing in,
Your chest is expanding,
Opening the nourishing energy of your heart.
Breathing out,
Your body is naturally relaxing,
Giving you more space inside.
Allow the flow of your breathing to carry you deeper into your heart.
You may feel warmth,
Expansion,
The lightness of being.
Your heart is growing stronger with each breath as you come home again and again,
Deeper inside.
In your heart,
You are more aware,
Sensitive.
You have intuitive intelligence beyond your mind.
Giving you the clarity to recognize and connect with qualities that are essential to having a rewarding life.
Qualities like trust,
Love,
Courage,
Patience,
Valuing yourself.
All of these and many other essential qualities are always present within you.
Like lifelines,
Connecting you to the source of who you are.
In this moment,
You have the opportunity to connect with your natural ability to acknowledge and value yourself.
Valuing yourself is an essential quality of your heart.
What's something you do that comes to you naturally,
That you enjoy,
That's easy and effortless?
A strength or talent that you have?
Imagine yourself in this activity.
Expressing this strength.
How does it feel?
Connect with this strength inside.
Appreciating and valuing it.
Where do you feel this strength in your body?
Is there an image that represents the feeling of this quality?
Does it have a color,
A form or shape?
Take this opportunity to treasure and cherish your talents.
Valuing yourself.
Does this strength get bigger when you value it or more available to you?
Feeling your heart expand as you connect with your natural ability to value yourself.
Let's experiment and value something else in your life.
Pick a person that is important to you,
An object or activity that you enjoy.
Pick something that you would like to enjoy more of or expand in your life.
Now imagine you are with the person,
Have the object or are in the activity.
What is important to you?
What do you enjoy about this person,
Object or activity?
What makes this precious?
Valuing what's important to you.
And notice what valuing feels like.
How does valuing transform your experience?
Take a few moments to feel this.
Take a deep breath.
Valuing yourself is opening your heart.
Shining light on the many gifts that you have in your life.
Valuing who you are and what you have is enriching.
Opening you to receive even more.
Valuing yourself,
Valuing what's in your life.
You are becoming centered in your essential nature and unique strengths.
The next time you would like to have the uplifting experience of valuing yourself and others,
Take a deep breath,
Feel your heart and say softly to yourself,
Valuing,
Valuing.
Enjoy your birthright to have what's truly valuable in your life.
Take another deep breath and open your eyes.
May your heart be with you.
