Hello and welcome to this guided meditation for releasing shame. This practice is here to support you in gently releasing the heaviness of this emotion whilst also reconnecting with love and all the self-worth you truly deserve. So find a comfortable position either sitting up or lying down and let your eyes close. Let's first bring our awareness to our breath gentle steady and natural. Feeling the air as it enters your body and feeling it again as it leaves. Maybe with a gentle pause in between each breath. Allowing yourself to soften, Your shoulders to drop, Your jaw to relax, Your belly is soft and rises and falls with each and every inhale and exhale. Acknowledging any distractions that choose to show themselves at this time but allowing them to pass like clouds in the sky. Drifting away knowing that you can return to these thoughts to your to-do lists when we're finished. There is nothing urgent required of you right now except to be present and breathe. Now shifting your awareness from this more relaxed state towards your heart and let's ponder the topic of shame and how this might be showing up for you on your healing journey. There may be stories you tell yourself, Words that were spoken and memories that still feel very visceral that carry the weight of shame. Shame is a very heavy emotion and it holds us back from being our true selves, From loving ourselves unconditionally and from being a friend to ourselves. Shame tells us that we are broken or unworthy but shame is not who you are. It is something that you have felt and it is something you have carried but it is not something you are. And placing a gentle hand over your heart and whispering silently or out loud. I am ready to let go. I am ready to let go. I am ready to let go. I am ready to let go. I am ready to let go. I am safe to be seen. I am safe to be seen. I am safe to be seen. I am safe to be seen. I am safe to be seen. I am safe to be loved. I am safe to be loved. I am safe to be loved. I am safe to be loved. I am safe to be loved. And now beginning to visualize a soft warm light beginning to grow from your heart center. This light is pure compassion and it grows with every breath expanding through your chest, Your shoulders and your entire body. And as this light fills you, Imagine the energy of shame. Dense, Heavy, Perhaps dark in color, Gently rising to the surface. Seeing it move upwards and being lifted out of you with every exhale. The light does not judge, It simply holds you in love. With each breath more of the shame is released, Rising to the surface and then falling away. Dissolving into the earth where it is transmuted and healed. You have full permission to let go of all the shame you have been carrying. You don't even need to know what this shame is relating to. Just know that it is slowly fading away with every breath. Now allow these words to wash over you like a healing balm. Repeating them silently or out loud. I am not my past. I release shame and embrace my truth. I am worthy of love exactly as I am. I am free to forgive myself. I choose compassion over judgment. I am whole. I am healing. I am healing. I am healing. I am healing. I am healing. I am healing. I am healing. I am healing.
