Hello beautiful soul and welcome to your guided meditation.
To begin our practice today I invite you to just find a little movement in the body,
Perhaps rolling the shoulders back a few times and then forward.
And when you're ready I invite you to just settle into your meditative posture for the day and perhaps for you that's seated in a chair or on the ground or even perhaps lying down flat on your back.
What's important is that we have a beautiful elongated posture so that air can flow freely in through the nose and out the nose.
Just taking a few moments to tune into the body.
Paying attention to the gentle rise and fall of the chest.
Your weight upon the chair or mat.
With each exhalation just imagining that you are surrendering to the sweetness of this moment.
In the sweetness of this moment there is nothing you need to do,
Nowhere you must go.
This is your opportunity to just be at peace.
To turn inward to this beautiful universe that resides within.
In this moment I invite you to visualize yourself.
Just picture yourself standing in front of you.
What do you see?
Often times when we look in the mirror many of us are quick to point out our imperfections.
To sum ourselves up in our mere body parts,
The areas that we might not love.
But in this moment I invite you to picture yourself there as clear as day,
Nothing else around you.
And I invite you to find infinite love within your heart for this person in front of you.
To recognize that they are so much more than the sum of their parts.
To recall upon the journey it took to be this person.
A childhood,
An adolescence,
Loves one and lost.
Countless memories,
Countless lessons.
Just taking a moment to recognize that there is no one in this universe that is just like you.
And that makes you one of a kind,
Unique beyond all measure.
So I invite you to find this warmth and love within.
Recognizing that this beautiful soul,
This beautiful image of yourself,
That is who you'll be with your entire life.
And if perhaps you haven't had the best relationship with yourself,
You've torn yourself down,
You've created limiting beliefs,
This is your opportunity to reach out and give yourself a hug.
To say today is day one.
Today I recognize what a beautiful soul you are on.
Today I honor your journey.
I rejoice in being me.
Today I recognize that I have so much love for myself.
Embracing that vision of yourself,
Feeling that warmth in your heart pour upon yourself.
Remembering this moment,
If you ever feel tempted to break yourself down,
To only fixate on the imperfections that you perceive,
Remember.
Remember this love.
Remember that you are so blessed to be in this beautiful existence.
That each and every day is an opportunity to create the life of your dreams.
And the first step in doing that is to become your own cheerleader,
Confidant and friend.
Perhaps finding a gentle smile in your lips as you make this promise to yourself,
To love me more.
Repeating a mantra and affirmation as often as it takes,
I love myself.
Feeling the warmth of those words pour into you over and over and over.
Using one of the strongest forces in all of this universe,
Which of course is love.
So give yourself that gift each and every day.
Bringing your hands to heart center,
Begin rubbing those palms together,
Creating that heat and light within.
Taking those palms,
This time I invite you to go ahead and clasp them over your back so you're giving yourself a big hug.
Feeling the warmth of your palms soak into your back.
They say that we give love from the front but we receive it from the back.
Feel this loving gesture pour into your body.
And when you're ready,
Slowly opening your eyes.
Thank you for joining me.
I hope that you have a beautiful day.
