Welcome.

Thank you for showing up for yourself and for this practice.

Take a deep breath in and allow yourself to arrive in this moment.

As you settle in,

Notice any stillness in the space around you.

Let this be a sanctuary,

A quiet place for your mind and heart.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

There's nothing you need to change.

Nothing to fix right now.

Just you here as you are.

Feel your breath as it moves in and out.

Allow the natural rhythm of your body to guide you.

A busy mind is natural.

Imagine your thoughts floating by like leaves on a gentle stream.

Let's take a deep breath in together,

Full and expansive,

And a little deeper,

And release it completely,

Softening your body as you exhale.

One more time,

Deep breath in and let it go.

This time is yours,

A sacred pause,

A chance to reconnect with your inner knowing,

That quiet wisdom deep inside of you.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

Let's start by grounding into the present.

Notice the surface beneath you,

The chair,

The cushion,

The floor.

Feel its steady support.

Let your body rest,

Knowing you're held.

Bring your attention to your breath again.

Feel the air entering your nose,

Cool and refreshing,

And leaving your body warm and soft.

Now,

Begin to notice the sensations around you.

Maybe there's a hum of sound nearby,

Or the quiet stillness of the room.

What do you notice on your skin,

The temperature,

The texture of your clothes?

This is your anchor,

This present moment.

This is where self-trust begins.

Not in the past,

Not in the future,

But right here,

Right now.

Take a deep breath in and release fully.

Let your body settle even deeper.

Bring your awareness to the ache that you feel.

Now,

Let yourself gently name it,

Heartbreak,

Grief,

Confusion,

Loss.

Let yourself feel the texture of it.

Is it tight,

Heavy,

Hollow?

There's no need to push it away.

So often we're told to move on or to stay strong,

But this pain deserves your attention.

It is a testament to your capacity to love.

Allow yourself to feel it,

Not to wallow in it,

But to honor it.

As you breathe,

Imagine your inhale bringing gentle compassion into those tender places.

Let each exhale carry away any self-judgment or pressure.

There is no timeline for this.

There is only this breath,

This feeling,

This moment.

Whisper to yourself,

It's okay to feel this.

It's okay to grieve.

Let your breath repeat that message over and over.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

Let your mind wander to the dreams you held in this relationship.

Maybe you imagined a future home,

Shared adventures,

A certain kind of family,

Or the comfort of growing old together.

Allow yourself to see those images gently.

Like pictures in an album.

Feel the ache of those dreams.

They were real and they mattered.

Allow yourself to hold them tenderly.

You can honor what you thought this relationship would be,

Even if it didn't become your reality.

Breathe into the space of loss,

The space of all the things you thought you would share.

Let your heart know that it's okay to let those dreams go,

A little bit at a time.

Let each exhale be a soft goodbye to what was and what will be.

And what could have been.

You don't have to erase the love you gave.

It can remain part of your story,

Even as you step into something new.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

Bring your awareness back to your body,

To the physical weight of heartbreak.

You might feel a heaviness in your chest,

A tightness in your throat,

A pit in your belly.

Let yourself notice how your body is carrying your grief.

Place your hand gently on your heart or your stomach.

Feel the warmth of your own touch.

This is your body's way of saying,

I'm here.

I will not abandon you.

Allow your breath to travel into those tender places.

Each inhale,

Filling them with warmth and life.

Each exhale,

Softening them just a little more.

If tears come,

Allow them to flow.

If you find yourself sighing or your breath deepening,

Let it be.

These are your body's ways of moving the pain,

Of slowly releasing what's stuck.

You don't have to be okay right now.

Allow yourself to be exactly where you are.

Allow your breath to be enough.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

As you breathe,

Notice if you're holding blame or shame.

Maybe you're replaying things you said or did,

Or moments you wished you had done differently.

Allow those thoughts to be seen,

And then let them soften.

Remind yourself,

I did the best I could with what I knew at the time.

Let that be enough.

You are not here to punish yourself.

You are here to hold yourself with kindness.

Let forgiveness begin to bloom in your chest like a soft light.

Not because you didn't make choices that weren't all healthy.

We all do.

But because you deserve to live free of the weight of self-blame and shame,

So that you can step toward learning healthy relationship.

Breathe in compassion.

Let it fill every cell.

Let it remind you that you are human.

You are learning.

And you are worthy of love,

Starting with your own.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

Gently bring your attention to what this breakup is teaching you.

Not to judge,

But to understand.

What did I learn about myself in this relationship?

Where did I lose myself?

Where did I hold myself back?

Did you find yourself trying to earn love instead of receiving it freely?

Did you abandon your own needs?

Were you present?

Let these questions be a doorway to understanding,

Not to shame.

Feel how brave it is to ask these questions.

Feel how this understanding can set you free,

So that you don't have to repeat these patterns,

So that you can choose yourself and healthy relationship again and again.

Breathe in that clarity,

The knowing that next time you can love without losing yourself,

And that you can be loved.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

There is no rush.

Healing doesn't move in a straight line.

Some days you'll feel strong.

Other days you might feel like you're back at the beginning.

Allow this to be okay.

Breathe in permission.

Permission to move at your own pace.

To let go of any pressure to get over it quickly.

You're allowed to heal slowly.

You're allowed to take the time you need.

Just keep moving,

Even if it is one small step.

Whisper to yourself,

I am healing.

Even when I can't see it,

I am healing.

Allow that truth to be enough.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

Breakups can leave us wondering,

Who am I without them?

Allow yourself to feel that question.

Breathe in the reminder.

I am not just what I lost.

I am whole.

I am worthy.

I am enough.

Feel into who you are beyond this ending.

Your laughter,

Your curiosity,

Your dreams.

These are yours,

And they are beautiful.

Allow this to be your foundation.

The knowing that your worth does not depend on another's love.

It is yours to claim every day.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

As you breathe,

Feel into the boundaries that protect your tender heart.

Allow yourself to ask,

What will I carry forward from this?

How do I want to love next time?

Allow the answers to be gentle.

Maybe it's a promise to stay connected to your own needs.

Maybe it's a vow to let love flow both ways.

To give and to receive.

Boundaries are not walls.

They are the gentle lines that honor who you are.

Let yourself feel how strong and kind you can be.

Holding your heart with care so that you can offer it freely.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

Healing doesn't happen in isolation.

Allow yourself to feel and reach out to the people who care for you.

Friends,

Family,

Chosen family.

Allow their love to be a part of your healing.

Reach out if you can.

Let someone hold your story.

Let them remind you that you are not alone.

Let their kindness be a balm for your heart.

If it feels right,

Allow your story to be witnessed by someone who can help you carry it.

Allow yourself to be supported.

You are worthy of connection,

Even in the middle of your pain.

You don't have to go it alone.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.

As we come to the end of this meditation,

Bring both hands to your heart.

Feel the steady beat,

The quiet,

Faithful rhythm of your own life.

Whisper to yourself,

I am enough.

I am healing.

I am whole.

Let this truth sink into your bones.

When you're ready,

Softly open your eyes.

Allow the world to come back into focus.

Let this be the first breath of a new chapter.

Not in a rush to move on,

But in the gentle knowing that you're growing stronger with each breath.

We're honored to hold this space with you.

Be tender with your heart.

Keep breathing.

Keep feeling.

Keep loving yourself.

You're not alone.

We see you.

We're with you.

Keep stepping forward.

Breathe deeply.

Release completely.
