Mindfulness Meditation to Practice Self-Love

We often hear that the path to happiness is being able to love ourselves. Yet we may find it difficult to know what that means or how to make self-love part of our authentic experience. To take time to attend to and care for oneself is an act of self-love. This meditation is a space to practice self-love. This is how we learn to truly love ourselves.

Transcript

Gather yourself,

Close your eyes,

If that feels right.

Find a comfortable seat for your body.

Paying extra attention to the comfort of your neck and your lower back.

Take this time for you.

You've been rushing,

You've been moving,

You've been thinking,

You've been striving.

Pull that energy from outward to inward,

To settle,

Bringing your mind to this moment,

To this breath,

Settling in and settling down,

Breathing in deeply with every inhale and exhaling completely with every breath to calm and settle,

Is to love,

To take care,

Is to love,

To take time,

Is to love,

To make space for yourself,

Is to love yourself,

Space to love you,

Right here,

Right now.

As we prepare to move out of this shared space,

Let's breathe together,

Breathing in and exhaling slowly,

Slowly,

Slowly.

And again,

Breathing in and exhaling slowly,

Slowly,

Slowly.

And one last time,

Breathing in and exhaling slowly,

Slowly,

Slowly.

You're ready,

Not before.

Slowly begin to open your eyes and return to your life,

More calm,

More ready to move through your day.

Thank you for sharing this space with me.

Namaste.
