So welcome to today's practice.
Today we are going to practice a self-love affirmations meditation.
So when you're ready,
Just allow your eyes to close if this is convenient for you.
Start by taking a few deep breaths.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Allowing your shoulders to drop.
Breathing in.
Allowing your shoulders,
Your breath to find its natural place in this cosmos.
Allowing the muscles in your face to soften and relax and just letting go of any anything that doesn't need to be here and whatever is here remains.
Invite some of the equanimity we practiced earlier.
Again the intention to not to react to anything with craving or aversion.
Not to push anything away.
Also not to try to grasp onto anything.
Just let things be including the practice.
Let the practice be.
Just asking yourself with your eyes closed or open.
How do you know that you are breathing?
What movements or sensations in the body tell you that you are breathing right now?
Just notice to this.
Bring your awareness to what makes you alive.
What makes you thrive.
And now I invite you to just simply let the breath find its place in the background and turn your awareness to yourself.
To this human connection and bring love and all its myriad applications to this practice.
So in this practice we will do a few self-love affirmations and keep the affirmations with which resonate with you and let the other affirmations be without the needing to grasp or create aversion.
