Welcome. My name is Natalie and I am so happy and grateful that you are taking this time to meditate with me. This is a heart-opening practice for self-love. So find a comfortable position. You may choose to sit down or lie down. Take a moment to really tune in with yourself. And find a position that you are the most comfortable with. And whenever you are ready, Close your eyes. Now place one hand over your heart. And take a slow breath in. And breathe out. And feel the warmth of your hands against your chest. Continue to breathe. And for a moment, Imagine that you're breathing directly into your heart. Breeding in. And breathing out. You don't have to force your heart open. There is nothing to achieve. Instead, Imagine creating a little more softness around your heart. Maybe you've been hard on yourself lately. Maybe you've been asking yourself. To do better. Be better. Heal faster. No more. Give more. And so I want to ask you. For the next few minutes. To put this down. And imagine speaking to yourself as you would speak to someone you deeply love. And now say silently. I'm here with you. I don't need to be perfect to deserve love. I don't need to be perfect to deserve love. I am allowed to be human. I am allowed to be human. I'm allowed to have needs. I'm allowed to have needs. I'm allowed to take up space. I'm allowed to take up space. I'm allowed to receive. I'm allowed to receive. And now take a breath and imagine your chest becoming softer with every exhale. Not opening forcefully, Simply softening. Whatever that means to you. Allowing in softness around your heart. Perhaps you can imagine a warm light in the center of your heart and with every breath it becomes a little warmer. A little bigger. And now let that warmth move through your chest. All the way to your shoulders. Your arms. Your belly. Your hips. Your thighs, Your knees, Your ankles. Feel its expansion. And feel this warmth in your entire body. And imagine being charged by the Universe. You don't have to give love away right now. You can receive it. Charge yourself from the universal love of the universe. And stay here. And repeat gently to yourself. May I be gentle with myself. May I be gentle with myself. May I remember my own world. May I remember my own words. May I come home to myself. May I come home to myself. And take a deep breath. And slowly exhale. And feel your whole body. Feel your heart. Maybe placing your second hand as well onto your heart and take a moment to really connect. Connecting back to your heart. And listen to what comes up. What does your heart need right now? And feel yourself here, In this space, In this moment. And then you can gently release your hands. And whenever you're ready, Open your eyes. And take the softness with you. You deserve to be someone you feel safe with. You deserve to be someone you feel safe with. Let your heart be a safe space for you to come home to. Until the next time. Namaste.
