Welcome,
I'm glad you're here and taking this time for yourself.
Find a comfortable position and gently close your eyes.
Take a slow deep breath in to center yourself and gently breathe out.
Place one or both hands over your heart.
Feel the natural rhythm of your breath,
The rise and fall beneath your palms.
This is your center,
Your heart,
Your place of connection,
Love and healing.
With each inhale imagine breathing into your heart space,
Filling it with warmth and light.
With each exhale release any heaviness,
Tightness or old stories that no longer serve you.
Continue breathing this way,
Soft and steady.
Now imagine a soft glow at the center of your chest.
With each breath the glow expands,
Warm,
Radiant,
Healing.
It spreads across your chest,
Through your shoulders,
Down your arms,
And into your hands.
With every breath the light grows stronger,
Surrounding your whole body in a field of compassion and safety.
Allow yourself to silently repeat these gentle phrases,
Allowing time to pause after each phrase,
Breathing them into your heart.
May I be kind to myself.
May I be patient with my journey.
May I forgive myself and others.
Releasing what weighs me down.
May I know I am worthy of love exactly as I am.
Now if you wish,
Picture someone you love or even the world itself held within this same heart light.
Imagine sending them warmth,
Compassion and healing.
See the light radiating outward,
Touching them deeply.
Feel them gently and even reaching out around the world,
Enveloping it in your warmth.
Feel how giving love only increases the love within you.
Return your attention to your breath,
Still gentle,
Still steady.
Notice the warmth at your heart,
The openness,
The softness.
Know that you can carry this light within you always.
Take a final deep breath,
Exhaling slowly.
Allow yourself to gently open your eyes,
Bringing this healing presence into your day.
Thank you.
