Namaste. Thank you for pressing play with me today. I've heard it so often said, You can't truly love someone else until you love yourself. So many of us are missing that really beautiful deep connection. That space of unjudgmental, Unapologetic self love. Instead we feel unworthy, We feel limited, We feel like there are conditions around the love that we have for ourselves. One of the most important responsibilities we have as souls incarnated on this earth is to love. And that love begins with us loving ourselves unconditionally without the need to achieve, Without the need to have, To feel worthy and to remind ourselves of this beautiful essence of divinity that resides within us. Meditation allows us to step back into that space of love because it brings us away from the mind, Away from the thoughts, Away from the conditioning, Away from the beliefs and the stories, Away from the inner voice that tells us lies of untruth that separate us from the ability to love ourselves completely and unconditionally. We breathe in compassion and kindness and we simply witness everything in the totality of this moment without judgment, Without expectations, Without fear. If you have not done so already, I invite you to find a comfortable space seated or lying down perhaps even standing. And when the body has settled and become comfortable, Begin to locate the breath. Tune into the inhale and the exhale. The energy that is supplied through the movement of the breath, Feel the way the body responds to breath, The way it expands and the way it contracts. The breath is the life force energy that provides us sustenance and support. Breathe in gratitude, Gratitude for being here in this moment and noticing how ever present the breath is. The breath is a sign of your worthiness. Nothing needed to do, Nothing to have, Nothing to be in order for this breath right here to move you. To move your worth without even trying, Allow this breath to bring you deeply into the moment, Settling in, Feeling the body relax, The weight of gravity taking over the arms and the legs, The shoulders and the hips. Softness in the head and the throat, Softness in the heart space. If you haven't already invited the upper lid down to meet the lower lid, I invite you to do that, Noticing this space where the eyelashes come to touch and then breathing the eyes back deep into the eye socket, Softening the space around the eyes. And if closing the eyes does not feel safe in this moment, Just take the gaze down the bridge of the nose. Removing the nervous system and bringing the mind and body into balance just through breathing. Consider that right now as you breathe, You are practicing self-love by showing up for yourself, By choosing to calm down, By choosing to get present, Present in the moment, Present to the textures around you, To the air around you, The temperature, The smells, The sounds. Allow the breath to explore the ways in which we separate ourselves from love, The ways in which we keep ourselves from the essential truth of our worthiness. One of the main ways is through the stories that we tell each other, Stories that our mind tells our body, Our body tells the mind, The stories that we allow in, That we choose to believe, That we choose to share, Created through experience, Created through beliefs, Created through opinions passed down to us. When we internalize the stories, We live them out, We give them energy, And we give them meaning. And this meaning separates us from the truth. Using our breath, We can begin to uncover the stories and we can choose a different narrative, One that's supportive, One that's in alignment with worthiness, With truth, With awareness, Becoming conscious of all the untruths that we tell ourselves that we hold within our bodies. I invite you to consider some of the ways in which you speak to yourself, Ways which create lack, Unworthiness, Separation, Negativity, The beliefs that you hold about yourself that separate you from the truth of your divinity and perfection. What do you dislike? Where do you see and sense and feel lack? Consider it as it relates to the mind, What do you dislike about the mind? What do you feel is lacking? Consider the question about the body. What about the body do you dislike? What about the body is lacking? What about the past experiences? What about past experiences do you dislike? Where was there lack? Relationships, Relationships with yourself, With others, With the way that we connect. Where do you see dislike and lack? How strong is that voice in your mind? Can you feel how it pulls you to find fault with yourselves, With the way that you feel, With your beliefs? If you choose to embrace self-love and to love yourself without condition, Begin to speak in a way that is loving and supportive to yourself. Step away from the stories and breathe in the truth. If I love myself completely, How can I change this belief? How would I change the voice inside my mind to be supportive, Loving, Kind? Can you choose to love yourself completely in this breath? Can you choose to step out of these stories and limiting beliefs that you hold? Can you choose to witness from the angle of love? Take a look at the mind again and ask if I love myself completely, What would I believe? And the body, Remembering the beliefs around the body and the feelings of lack that you brought up and ask if I love myself completely, What would I believe instead? Our history, Our experiences, The things we hold onto. If I loved myself completely, How would I change this view and this belief? Relationships with ourselves and with others, If I truly loved myself completely, How would they look? Allow yourself to really see you in totality, Every inch of you, Every cell, The body, The mind, The soul, The emotions. See them all through the lens of love and know that you have everything within you to shift the story, To change the voice, To speak with words of love and support. When you begin to feel the stories of the mind speaking untruths to you, Soften the eyes and connect into love. Maybe even coming back to the question, If I loved myself completely, What would I believe? What would I say? How would I respond? Choosing to see through the lens of love and not the lens of fear ultimately allows us to repattern our beliefs, To know our worth, To live in our worth, Knowing that there is nothing that we need to do right now, Nowhere to be, In order to have worthiness show up with every breath. You are worthy. You are loved. If we feel called, Perhaps placing a palm on the heart space and connecting into that energy of love, Feeling it, Feeling the heartbeat underneath the fingers, Feeling the breath as the lungs expand and then feeling that gentle contraction as the body softens. I am loved. I am love. Taking a big breath in, Let it go. Just witnessing and just noticing, Blinking the eyes open and gazing through the lens of love. Thank you for practicing with me today. I hope you have an absolutely beautiful day. The light in me honors the light in you. Namaste.
