Welcome to Meditation Tides with Michelle's Sanctuary.
Today's 5-minute meditation,
Wherever you go,
Is one you can practice anytime,
Anyplace.
I'm Michelle,
And as the sound waves of my voice wash over you,
I hope you feel as though you are listening to a long-time friend.
This gentle practice will open you to the ever-present truth that wherever you go,
There you are.
You are the greatest and longest companion you have on this journey,
And we will celebrate this with gratitude,
Acceptance,
And self-love.
Make yourself comfortable,
Sitting,
Standing,
Lying down.
There are no rules here.
Listen to what your body wants right now.
With your eyes closed,
Sense your lids gently blocking out the world beyond.
As you focus on your inner life,
Open your mouth and let out a sigh,
Casting away any gripping sensations or intrusive thoughts that get in the way of your fun.
It's fun reacquainting yourself and checking in.
Now,
Inhale deeply through your nose,
Feeling expansion as you claim the space around you.
Always remember,
You belong here.
No matter what happens outside,
You belong in this wonderful body that may lead you anywhere you wish to go.
Exhale through your mouth in another sigh.
Feel your body relax as a smile forms on your lips,
Knowing that you are in the company of someone truly special.
You.
You.
Wherever you go,
There you are.
No matter the twists and turns or challenges,
You show up for yourself with all you have overcome,
All you have learned,
And all you hope to be.
Inhale again deeply,
Feeling inspired by yourself.
Despite life's demands,
You are here,
Taking care of yourself.
As you exhale,
Think of what you're grateful for about yourself.
It can be something you don't share with others.
It can be something you want the world to recognize.
Whatever it may be,
No matter how simple or grand,
Gratitude ignites a warmth in your heart center.
It sparks a wave of energy that courses through your body,
Reminding you that you belong.
You are worthy.
Feeling deeply rooted in peace,
Whisper quietly to yourself,
I get to be me.
Feel the joy of this simple truth as you spend time learning about the incredible person you are.
And no matter where life takes you,
You always have the company of your own beautiful soul.
You can nurture and love this relationship,
Growing closer with yourself each day.
You are a constant in your life,
And that deserves celebration.
Inhale and exhale,
Feel empowered in knowing that you are your own greatest ally.
You have survived every single challenge you faced.
You deserve a fulfilling and rich relationship with yourself.
Remind yourself once more,
I get to be me.
Enjoy your growth,
Your strength,
And the love you carry within.
Bring this feeling of empowerment with you as you flutter open your eyes.
Thank you for letting me be part of your journey.
Until next time,
I'm Michelle,
And I wish you a day of enjoying you,
Wherever you are,
And wherever you may go.
