Hi and welcome to this meditation to soothe and connect with your inner self.
I am Maria and I will be your guide.
You can start by finding a comfortable position.
And focusing on your breathing.
You can take a few breaths at your own pace.
Just noticing the sensation of breathing in your body.
We are shifting our awareness from the mind and into the body.
And trying to feel the body sensations we are feeling right now.
Wherever you feel them the most.
We are shifting from doing mode to being mode.
This is a moment just for you.
To be with yourself.
To nurture yourself.
And it's okay to take this moment just for you It is a moment to connect to your inner self,
To feel it.
To be aware of it and to listen to it.
You can bring a hand to your heart or to your belly and just breathe.
And pay attention to your chest or your belly contracting and expanding as you breathe in and out.
And try to notice any feelings or sensations that may arise.
What kind of sensations do you feel?
What kind of feelings?
And what's the intensity of those feelings or sensations?
Try to listen to those sensations and connect with them.
Whatever you are feeling,
Be it strong or mild.
It is ok to feel it.
Whatever you feel.
Whatever it is,
It's okay to feel it.
Remember that emotions and feelings come and go.
And that it's better to sit with them rather than to suppress them.
And let them be.
Welcome them.
And try to be gentle with them.
Without judging.
And if you can,
Try to embrace them fully as if you were holding and hugging something very precious.
We store so many emotions and experiences in our hearts and in our bodies that can make us feel heavy.
Being with our emotions and being aware of the sensations in our body.
Can help us release any sense of heaviness that we may feel.
Whatever you feel deep in your body,
In your soul.
Try to listen carefully.
What does your inner self feel right now?
And what does it need?
Maybe it needs soothing Maybe it needs acknowledgement.
Maybe some support Maybe it just needs presence if you could say something to your inner self at this moment What would it be?
Try to sit with it for some moments and repeat internally whatever feels good for you to listen to right now.
Notice how your body feels when you say these words to yourself.
And if you feel any strong sensations,
Breathe into and out of those parts of the body where you feel them.
And if you feel pleasant body sensations,
Nourish them with deep breaths of gratitude.
And as we come to an end of this meditation,
You can thank yourself for dedicating these moments and giving this gift to your inner self.
It's ok to be just who you are right now.
Slowly,
Slowly.
Whenever you feel ready,
You can start opening your eyes.
And do a gentle stretch.
