Self Love Affirmations (No Music)

Join Selena for this replay of one of her live sessions. Meet yourself with kindness and acceptance in this loving affirmation practice. Affirmations are a powerful technique to train the brain and mind to focus on what we are wanting rather than always thinking about what we don't want.

Transcript

Let us move into our practice. Close the eyes. And of course, If it's uncomfortable to close the eyes, You can just have the gaze soft looking downward. So there's less external distraction through vision. Roll your shoulders up and back a few times and start to breathe deeply. Let's roll the shoulders up and back a few more times and start to deepen your breath. Feel like you're creating space inside. And then relax the shoulders back and down. Feel the chest broad and open, The space of the heart relaxed. Feel your hips sinking down, Your tailbone relaxing back and down, Removing any overarching in the back. Feel a space between your teeth. The jaw starts to hang and the throat begins to relax. Slow deep breaths in and out. If you're in a chair, I invite you to have the feet on the floor, Aware of the earth beneath you. And if you're sitting cross-legged on a chair, The couch or the floor, That's also fine. Or however you're needing to make your body comfortable for this position is just fine. One reason we sit upright in many meditation practices is so there's an alertness and also so the energy can move freely up and down the central channel, Up and down the spine. Feel your belly softening. It's all placed a hand on the belly. Many of us have this unconscious or even conscious habit of kind of keeping the belly tight all of the time. So feel like your belly can soften into your hand, Even if it doesn't actually move. Imagine that there's this unwinding softening happening in the belly. As you inhale, Feel your belly expand into your hand. And of course, If you can't move your body, You can just imagine this. We'll breathe this way for the next minute or so. This expansion happening in the belly, You might also feel it happening in the chest. And each time you feel this tendency to fall into contracted patterns in the body, Consciously relax and feel the belly softening again. Slowly move your palm up to your heart center. The shoulders are relaxed, The chest is open. Can you feel a sense of kindness, Caring, Even tenderness as your hand is on your heart? You don't have to know all of the answers. You don't even have to know what to do or how to do it. Can you just breathe here for a few more moments with an intention of kindness toward yourself? With an intention of kindness toward yourself. Jaws relaxed. Relax the hand down, Rest both hands on the knees or the thighs with the palms facing upward. And then you can just stop and back again, Take this more receptive posture. As we move into repeating these affirmations, It's okay if you don't believe them. I invite you to conjure the images in your mind, The good feelings that you feel accompany that go with this affirmation. Start to bring this affirmation to life inside of you, As if it is true, Imagine it as if it is so, As if it is happening right now, Not someday in the future, But imagine these good feelings as if they're already here. Let's take a conscious breath together in and out. You may wish to have a hand on the heart throughout this practice, Your choice. I am so grateful for my life. I am so grateful for my life.
