This is Naseema and I'll be guiding you through this self-love meditation,
A powerful practice that can ease a racing mind.
By drawing our attention to our innermost self,
We find our source of inner peace and acceptance.
Stressful thoughts gently diminish as we gain the peace required to move forward with grace.
Let's get started.
If we do not allow the natural love for ourselves to be expressed,
Love does not reveal its beauty very often throughout each day of our lives.
Get into a nice,
Relaxing position,
Removing any distractions for the duration of this session.
Take the very first action in self-love right now.
You're really taking the very first action in self-love right now.
Your ability to breathe at will in all different kinds of ways.
Our breath has been there literally our entire lives,
Changing as needed to the demand of exciting circumstances and flowing effortlessly when we are resting.
Taking multiple full and deep breaths every day is proven to change our bodies and minds for the better.
Take in five full and deep breaths,
Holding it in for a moment at the top and naturally exhaling.
One,
Inhale a nice big breath,
Expanding your belly and lungs as much as you can.
Holding it in for a moment at the top and naturally exhale gently with relief.
Take a deep breath in,
Exhale gently with relief.
Take a deep breath in,
Inhale gently with relief.
Two,
Inhaling fresh oxygen that will be supplied to your bloodstream.
Hold it to soak it in and exhale without any effort.
Take a deep breath in,
Exhale gently with relief.
Three,
Inhale feeling rejuvenated and invigorated by this breathing.
Hold it and exhale easily.
Four,
Inhale noticing the energy that is in you,
Noticing how breathing fully comes naturally for you.
Pausing to soak it in and exhale any tension or worry.
And five,
Inhaling fully is an act of self love.
Pausing to feel this love and exhale into complete relaxation.
Let your breath flow at a pace without any effort from you now.
Good.
By doing this,
You are proving you are capable of self love.
Deep breathing increases the supply of oxygen to your brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system,
Sometimes referred to as the rest and digestive system.
By breathing deeply and often,
You are commanding your body to rest,
Which relaxes and rejuvenates you.
This is self love in its simplest form that anyone can do at any time of the day.
Now,
Let's honor ourself by relaxing the mind even further.
Notice now how your thoughts are rising in your mind one after the other.
See them come and see them go.
Some thoughts linger for some time and some thoughts only come for a split second.
If you can really focus,
You will notice even smaller thoughts,
Such as describing the world around you or labeling the things in your surroundings.
Let your hearing become super alert now and try to focus on some sounds around you.
Maybe you can hear the sound of your breath.
Can you hear nature nearby?
Or perhaps cars passing by or people talking to each other.
Just go from sound to sound,
Focusing on only one at a time.
And just allow all of the noises around you to come in equally.
And when you hear them,
They almost act as tiny waves of relaxation,
Calming your mind.
That's right.
Your mind relaxes when you activate your senses on command.
Let's use the power of your amazing visualization abilities to induce self love.
Begin to imagine yourself full of an abundance of self love.
See yourself now,
Choosing healthy foods and cooking at home so you know all of the ingredients you are putting in your body.
Vividly see yourself eating well.
When you eat well,
See yourself enjoy these moments and you feel the nutrition that these choices bring you.
Imagine now you have a strong will to eat fresh foods,
Fresh vegetables,
Fresh fruit.
Taste every bite.
Feel the taste of the sweetness of the fruits and vegetables you have in your mouth.
And feel how nourishing they are to your body.
You have an immense sense of well-being and you feel confident in nourishing yourself with healthy foods.
Well done.
Eating healthy is an essential component in self love.
Another form of self love is observing your mental chatter.
In order to have great self love,
You must expand the good things you feel about yourself and challenge any negative thought as soon as they arise.
So hear yourself saying,
When I fully love myself,
I am able to fully love others.
Deciding to love myself is a wonderful agreement.
Each day,
I allow my love for myself to grow more and more.
I am worthy of love and I honor the joy that comes with it.
Deciding to love myself unconditionally,
No matter what happens,
Feels wonderful.
I deserve love and self respect.
My self-esteem grows along with my self love and I accept everything about myself completely and always love myself.
Today,
I love myself even more than yesterday.
Truly loving myself is easy for me.
The more I love myself,
The better my entire health.
I love every moment of my existence.
Every part of me that makes me who I am is encompassed with love.
I have unconditional love within me that overflows in abundance to those around me.
Now gently opening your eyes,
Take a fresh deep breath and know that whenever you love yourself,
You will find love.
Www.
Mooji.
