Find a comfortable position,
Either seated or laying down,
And gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Taking a deep breath in,
Exhaling slowly,
Releasing any tension.
Again,
Inhale deeply,
Feeling your breath expand through your belly,
And exhale,
Letting go of anything heavy or unneeded.
One more breath in,
And a long,
Slow exhale out.
Now bring your awareness to your heart.
Imagine a soft,
Warm light radiating from within.
This is your humanity,
Your essence,
Your truth.
As you breathe,
Let this light expand,
Filling your body with a deep sense of compassion,
Understanding,
And grace.
Affirm to yourself,
Knowing my humanity helps others grow in their journey.
Feel the truth of these words settling in your heart.
Now ask yourself,
How might I honor my humanity today?
Where might I be today?
Be kinder,
More gracious with myself.
Picture yourself moving through your day with ease,
Responding to challenge with self-compassion,
And extending that same grace to others.
Take a deep breath in,
Filling yourself with the intention to honor your humanity,
And exhale,
Releasing judgment or self-criticism.
One more inhale,
Breathing in love,
And exhale,
Grounding yourself in your power.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Carrying this sense of grace and presence into your day.
