Hi beautiful,
Welcome to this meditation for self-love.
Get yourself into a nice relaxing position,
Removing any distractions for the duration of this session.
You can sit or lay down for this meditation,
But whichever you choose,
Make sure that your spine is straight.
If we do not allow the natural love for ourselves to be expressed,
Love won't reveal its beauty very often throughout each day of our lives.
Take the very first action in self-love right now,
With your ability to breathe at will and in all different kinds of ways.
Our breath has been there literally our entire lives,
Changing as needed to the demands of exciting circumstances and flowing effortlessly when we are resting.
Taking multiple full and deep breaths every day is proven to change our bodies and our minds for the better.
So let's take in five deep breaths now,
While holding it at the top and exhaling naturally.
Are you ready?
Again big inhale in,
Expanding your belly and your lungs as much as you can.
Hold it and exhale gently with relief.
Two,
Inhaling fresh oxygen that is supplied to your bloodstream.
Hold it in and soak it in and exhale without any effort.
Three,
Inhaling feeling rejuvenated and invigorated by this breathing.
Hold it in and exhale easily.
Four,
Inhale notice how breathing fully becomes natural for you,
Pausing to soak it in and exhale any tension or worry.
And five,
Inhale fully in this act of self-love,
Pausing to feel this love and exhale into complete relaxation.
Let your breath flow at a pace without any effort from you.
Good by doing this you're showing yourself that you're capable of self-love.
Deep breathing increases the supply of oxygen to your brain and it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system,
Sometimes referred to as the rest and digest system.
By breathing deeply and often you are commanding your body to rest,
Which relaxes and rejuvenates you.
This is self-love in its simplest form and something you can do any time of the day.
Now let's honor yourself by relaxing the mind even further.
Notice now how your thoughts are rising in your mind,
One after the other.
See them come and see them go as if looking at clouds in the sky.
Some thoughts linger for some time and some thoughts only come for a split second.
If you can really focus you will notice even smaller thoughts such as describing the world around you or labeling the things in your surroundings.
Let your hearing become super alert now and try to focus on some sounds around you.
Maybe you can hear the sound of your breath.
Can you hear nature nearby?
Or perhaps cars passing by?
Or people talking to each other?
Thoughts go from sound to sound,
Focusing on only one at a time.
Now stop focusing on any sound in particular and just allow all of the noises around you to come in equally.
And when you hear them,
They almost act as a tiny wave of relaxation,
Calming your mind.
Good,
Your mind relaxes when you activate your senses on command.
Let's use the power of your amazing visualization abilities to induce self-love.
Begin to imagine yourself full of an abundance of self-love.
See yourself now,
Choosing healthy foods and cooking at home so you know all of the ingredients you're putting into your body.
Vividly see yourself eating well.
When you eat well,
See yourself enjoying these moments and you feel the nutrition that these choices bring you.
Imagine now that you have a strong will to avoid junk food and any unhealthy drinks.
See yourself in great detail,
Confidently saying no to all of these things.
You feel very proud now.
Good.
Eating healthy is an essential component of self-love.
Other forms of self-love is observing your mental chatter.
In order to have great self-love,
You must expand the good things you feel about yourself and challenge any negative thoughts as soon as they arise.
Repeat these phrases silently to yourself.
When I fully love myself,
I am able to fully love others.
Deciding to love myself is a wonderful agreement.
Each day,
I allow my love for myself to grow more and more.
I am worthy of love and I honour the joy that it comes with.
Deciding to love myself unconditionally,
No matter what happens,
Feels wonderful.
I deserve love and respect.
My self-esteem grows along with my self-love.
I love and accept everything about myself.
I completely and always love myself.
Today I love myself more than yesterday.
Truly loving myself is easy for me.
The more I love myself,
The better my entire health.
I love every moment of my existence.
Every part of me that makes me who I am is encompassed with love.
I have unconditional love within me that overflows in abundance to those around me.
Great.
Now gently open your eyes,
Take a fresh breath,
And know that whenever you love yourself,
You will find love.
Namaste.
