Find healing and inner peace in this guided meditation that will make you feel good.
You are listening to You Are Loved.
If you have been struggling or doubting yourself or feeling uneasy or unloved,
This meditation will help you open up to the warm vibrations of love.
It may also be a tune up,
A gentle reminder of what you already know.
You are loved.
You may use this meditation during the day or before sleep if you wish for these messages to usher you across the bridge between your waking and sleeping life.
The choice is yours.
This experience is solely for what you need right now.
And if you feel today that your mind has maxed out,
That there's no room for any more thoughts or anxiety or fear,
Just allow in this one message if it's the only one you can let in.
Let it be known that you are loved.
Find a place where you may sit or lie down and gently close your eyes.
I would like to welcome you to Michal Sanctuary.
I am Michal and as you are listening,
You may think of my voice as the voice of a dear friend and partner on this journey.
I have created this experience because I care about your well-being and personal growth.
We are all connected.
We all influence the vibrations on the planet.
We are all worthy of healing,
Feeling valued,
And forging our own paths.
We are the stars of our own stories.
And I am here to remind you of the place deep within.
The place where solitude and your inner voice are waiting to guide you.
Beneath the layers of worry or self-doubt or negative thinking,
There is the you that has always been there.
This is your time to relish being you.
It is not selfish.
It is very much your birthright to take these moments for yourself.
Even with all the pulls of obligations or thoughts about what you need to do,
Right now is for you.
So take the dial of thoughts and turn it down.
Just by showing up and relaxing,
You are doing all you need to do.
And this experience will have a far-reaching impact that rewards you in ways you may not see right now.
With time and trusting yourself,
You will get there by being here now.
This meditation is best when listened to in repetition over time.
My hope is that any fearful thoughts about your life or your future and any self-doubt will be replaced with my voice and the kind words I bring to you.
I offer you the very truths that will help you thrive.
And over time,
You may find it easier to reframe thoughts that leave you feeling bad or shameful.
And instead you will remember that you are loved.
And you may speak to yourself in the same kind,
Forgiving words that you would offer to a loved one,
Except this time that loved one is you.
Let us begin with some breaths.
Deep and nurturing breaths.
Sigh out all your air audibly if you like.
Every last bit.
As if a sandbag is placed on your torso,
Expelling it all.
And then you take in a sip of air,
Enjoying your inhalation as if it's a cool glass of water on a hot summer day.
Let your body expand like a hot air balloon so light you could just float away.
And then exhale it all out,
Sinking down,
Feeling heavy and grounded.
This constant balance of lightness and grounding is something you may focus on any time throughout your day and throughout this meditation.
Focusing one last time on your inhale,
You imagine the word love lit up in old fashioned stage lights,
Hanging above you,
Warming your body and face,
Sending vibrations that come when you simply feel good.
And as you exhale,
The word love becomes peace through the power of release and the power of your breath.
You are loved.
And in the privacy of this moment,
As you are allowed to safely go to the deepest places in your mind and in your body,
You may say to yourself,
I am loved.
In the stillness of this moment,
As your body lets down its guard,
As your muscles melt,
As your mind clears,
Take this time to think of three things you love most about yourself.
Truly feel and relive these wonderful things that are you.
And take in a deep breath and sigh it out.
Love and peace.
And now see three moments in your life when you have been able to demonstrate love.
It need not be a grand gesture.
The smallest of moments often impact the most,
Consistently over time.
Enjoy these moments again where you have loved and feel all the good feelings that come with this.
Sometimes we are hurt throughout life.
Challenges and conflicts with relationships.
And expected setbacks and hardship.
And loss and failures are all part of our journey.
They are unavoidable.
But when you protect the part that is you deep within.
When you celebrate your own ability to thrive and to be you without concerns of what anyone else has to say.
Then you do what you must because this is your life.
And at the end of this life,
You will look back on the tapestry you have woven with appreciation for the growth and lessons.
And for making the best choices for you.
And the best choices come when you remember this.
When you feel this.
And when you truly believe me when I say,
You are loved.
Notice how you feel right now.
See if there are any places in your body that are resisting,
Like a little catch,
A snag on a sweater.
You may take note of how your body is reacting.
And send a wave of warm energy to any of these snags or catches.
Let it feel like an ocean wave that softly covers a tidal pool.
Tepid and gentle.
That is what you may feel all over as you surrender to this.
As you trust this.
Because you are cared for.
You matter.
You deserve every beautiful opportunity to come your way.
You deserve to believe that it will get better.
The future is unwritten,
But you are writing it now.
So as you pick up the pen to write your story,
Do it with love.
Do it with hope.
Do it with the optimism that a course can change just as easily as the sails of a sailboat may be redirected.
The winds at sea cannot be controlled.
But the sails may pivot to use what is given.
To make the most of what is happening.
And you may do the same.
When your mind is clear,
Solutions come.
When you know your value,
You make the choices that align with the best possible outcome.
You are special.
You are able to make things happen as much as anyone else.
Rumi expressed,
Your task is not to seek for love,
But merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
Those barriers are what you may wash away.
Those snags that hold you back from feeling the fullest of joy and warmth that comes from being loved.
You are loved.
Right now.
There is no need to wait for perfection.
For the perfect job,
Or the perfect relationship,
Or for the great accomplishments you seek.
You need not wait for the dreams you are chasing,
For all your problems to be solved.
There is no room for shame or regret when there is love.
The light of love shines on the shadows of these worrisome thoughts that get in the way.
And you may stop them every single time.
By remembering that you are worthy.
You deserve to feel good.
You deserve to enjoy being in your body.
You deserve to appreciate yourself and to forgive yourself.
No matter what you have done,
No matter what you may be struggling with,
Love yourself.
Feel compassion in knowing you did the best you could do with who you were at the time.
But you are growing like an oak tree that has found the sunlight.
Getting stronger and taller each day.
Surviving storms.
Surviving the unexpected.
And still you remain.
Learning to take this time for yourself.
And to know you may grow and surrender to the winds that howl around you.
And remain deeply rooted.
Grounded as you reach towards the light.
Feeling the love.
If the word love gives you pause or makes you feel uncomfortable.
If it is hard to say I love you to yourself,
To those you love,
It is okay.
It is okay to care.
It is okay to let people know you care.
It is okay to care about yourself.
Always.
No matter the mistakes.
No matter the circumstances beyond your control.
No matter your progress.
No matter your shortcomings.
You may still love yourself through it all.
You may still let in the love of others when they show up consistently.
You deserve to feel safe.
To feel love.
To feel the ability to be you and to shine on.
Honest and real.
Authentic.
And when you do this,
You may attract members to your tribe that vibrate at the same healthy frequency.
Love is acceptance.
Love does not judge.
Love is support.
Love is the divine light within you that shines like a warm beam from your heart center out onto the world.
Love is the twinkle that comes to your eyes when you connect with someone or something that matters.
Love is the peace you feel when you say goodbye and know you will meet again.
Love is forgiveness.
Of yourself and of others.
Love is patience.
The best proof of love is trust.
So trust yourself.
Because you are loved.
We may not always be given these examples of love.
We may have to seek them out.
And when we so much want to grow and be happy,
Fear is overcome for the greatest good.
Love is not pain.
But leaving your comfort zone,
Letting down your walls,
And truly believing you are worthy of love may feel painful to you.
Painness may hurt when you are used to pain because you are suddenly vulnerable.
But that vulnerability is the rich soil where the seeds of love may grow.
And you are loved.
And you are loved.
You are just as lovable as anyone else.
You are valued.
You are worthy.
You may move on from anyone who does not love you in a healthy way.
Love is not perfect.
Love comes in to fill the cracks of imperfections and let you shine on in spite of them.
And that light and those imperfections help create the connections to others and to truly live.
Imagine what it looks like to be inside a bubble of love.
Like a heart shaped globe,
You float in its center.
A green,
Light,
Verdant and bright and the color of the heart chakra surrounds this protective bubble.
Imagine going through life with love as your shield.
Loving yourself makes decisions so easy.
And you find your voice.
And you see the love in others.
As you radiate at a frequency that attracts all that you desire.
It is so much different than radiating the vibrations of fear and doubt.
Love makes you magnetic.
There may be someone in your life or someone you have come across who is awash with fortune and beautiful life experiences.
This person is so at ease and so accepting that they are like a magnet for others.
You can choose at any point to be that person.
To remember all that is lovable within you.
You do not need to prove yourself to anyone.
You are enough.
You are lovable as you are.
A friend will love you.
All of you.
And understand your challenges and places you wish to improve.
I am here as your friend and you may join me as well by being your own best friend.
By remembering and saying to yourself,
I am worthy.
I deserve all the blessings to come my way.
I deserve all the support and kindness that finds me.
I deserve to explore.
I can fall and get up again.
Because I am loved.
I am me.
I am the only one to be living in this body,
In this life.
And when I find this peace and make choices from love,
I know what is best for me.
I will not shy away from kindness or hope.
You came to this life unable to lift your own head.
And here you remain,
Holding up your own head.
Nurtured to the point that you are still alive.
You are still breathing.
And a mind at its healthiest will disallow any thoughts that are harmful or belittle you.
Visualize a day that begins with self-love.
You rise from your bed,
The sun shining through the curtains.
Your feet land on the floor and you rise knowing that the day ahead is unknown and unwritten.
It is a clean slate to begin anew.
Carrying the wisdom of all you have learned.
And a soft whisper that comes to you as challenges arise.
It reminds you that you've got this.
You always have.
The only voices to guide your day are the ones that you allow.
The loving words of friends and allies that remind you how precious your time is.
How you deserve to make the most of each moment,
Even if it is not ideal.
Even if it is not where you want to be.
You are on the way,
A little bit at a time,
To getting where you aspire.
But when you are cloaked in a sensation of feeling love,
You tap into joy.
You feel joy on this day.
Because happiness is not about things being exactly as your mind expects.
It is accepting things as they are and celebrating your human form in spite of it.
It does not have to be easy,
But it is best served with love.
And whenever you doubt yourself,
Whenever you feel stuck,
Whenever you feel not okay,
Remember my voice.
Remember that you are loved.
You are worthy.
You are capable of all that you desire and all you wish to attract.
And every thought to question this,
You may put out by remembering that you are loved.
You are supported by powers you do not see,
But you may often feel,
Like the gentle wind that blows and may require you to readjust your sails.
You can do anything when you remember you are loved.
You are love.
You are you.
And that is forever enough.
