In the middle of the 18th century,
The Age of Enlightenment began to set us free.
Free to share our gifts and live life fully,
No longer feeling the tyrant's bully.
The time has come,
Your fears to be undone.
Embrace your worth.
It is for this you have taken birth.
The fact that you are open to experiencing this meditation,
To take this journey that enhances your self-worth,
Reveals that you are ready.
Ready to let go of your fears,
To embrace self-love and self-compassion.
You are ready to redefine yourself,
Discarding past events and circumstances.
You have learned and grown from all the experiences of your life.
Let's begin this journey by entering into a very deep,
Peaceful state of relaxation.
Lie on your back with your arms to the side and your palms up.
Take a few deep breaths and make any adjustments to your body to be as completely relaxed as possible.
Bring your awareness to the feet and feel them letting go,
Feel them softening,
Drifting away into this very deep,
Peaceful state.
Now feel this wave of relaxation traveling through the ankles,
The shins and calves let go.
Fall around your knees and your upper legs,
Melting away,
Relaxing.
Now bring awareness to the fingers and let them go,
The palms,
Back of the hands and wrists,
Forearms,
Elbows and upper arms,
Drifting into this very deep,
Peaceful state of relaxation.
Now bring awareness to the pelvis and keep on letting go until there's nothing left to let go of.
Feel the low back and the abdomen letting go,
Letting go,
Relaxed.
Side back,
Upper back,
Chest and shoulders joining into this very deep,
Peaceful state.
Feel your neck letting go now.
Feel your chin,
Cheeks,
Lips and tongue,
Relaxing the nose,
Eyes,
Forehead and scalp.
Now your entire body is in this very deeply relaxed state.
Stand your body,
See if there's any area still holding on and use the power of your mind to let it go.
In this deeply relaxed state you will hear suggestions and affirmations designed to reinforce your self-worth.
Open and accept that which appeals to you and disregard anything that is not suitable for you at this time.
Allow any memories of a person or situation in your life that created a feeling of unworthiness within you to come to your awareness now.
It's time to let that go and never again allow this to diminish your feeling of self-worth.
Forgive that person.
Acknowledge that you have learned and grown from your experience.
Use the power of visualization.
Envision yourself atop a mountain,
Standing tall,
With your arms outstretched,
The wind is caressing you,
Releasing any remnants of this experience.
Let it go now.
It is gone.
Now bring your mind to accomplishments you have achieved or trials you have overcome.
No matter how small or how big,
You have overcome fantastic odds just to be alive.
From the very beginning,
Millions of cells from your father attempted to join with your mother's egg for you to have an existence and the strongest one became you.
From that moment on,
You have overcome innumerable obstacles and not only survived,
But thrived.
Express gratitude for your perseverance and for all your achievements.
You are worthy of peace,
Of joy,
And contentment.
You are multifaceted and have many diverse aspects of your being.
Let's acknowledge four worthy archetypes that exist within you.
Begin with the Warrior.
You possess warrior energy,
The ability to fearlessly move ahead in the direction of your dreams,
The strength to stand up for what you believe.
You can and you have persevered in the face of challenges and obstacles.
Take a few deep breaths into your solar plexus,
That power spot just below your ribs.
Your breath and intention have the ability to stimulate your inner warrior.
You have called upon this energy many times in your life and from now on this warrior energy can be called upon consciously when needed to victoriously overcome adversity and march forward to your desired goals.
This energy is always available for your use and you are a worthy warrior,
Having the personal power to change and influence the events and circumstances of your life.
Next you will energize your king and queen energy.
Create an image of yourself sitting on a throne,
Wearing a jeweled crown and take a few deep breaths feeling as if you are breathing into your crown,
Into the top of your head,
Energizing this regal energy within you.
How does it feel to embrace your nobility,
To truly feel that you are in control and in charge of what goes on in your life?
You are worthy of royalty,
This too is your birthright.
Use this energy within you and take dominion of your kingdom and all in your control.
Next breathe into your chest,
Stimulating the lover archetype within you.
Feel as if you are breathing in love,
The most powerful force that you have.
The foundation of self worth is self love and you need change nothing about yourself to deserve and to feel self love.
Like self worth this is your birthright.
Continue to breathe into your chest,
Breathing in love,
Feel love for yourself,
Feel love for your life,
Feel love for the world.
Your feelings,
Thoughts and actions will be positively affected as you foster self love and your sense of self worth will likewise be enhanced.
You can now call in the priest archetype,
In many ways similar to the archetype of the magician,
The part of you that is aware of your highest existence.
There are as many ways to get in touch with this aspect of yourself as there are people.
Let's ponder some wisdom shared by the priests of some major religions.
If you are Christian,
Take in the biblical wisdom that reveals that when you embrace your true essence,
When you understand your true worth,
You can do even greater things than your savior because you have gone to the highest truth,
To the father of all power and wisdom.
The Jewish wise men remind their followers that they have been chosen and can choose to embrace a moral code that gives life direction and encouragement to claim your worthy birthright.
Buddhist priests point the way beyond suffering and reveal that through meditation you have the ability to understand your true self and your true self worth.
Hindu scripture point out that the king,
The warrior,
The lover and the highest priest are all embodied by Lord Krishna who resides within you and is available for you to bring truth,
Love and power into your life and to realize your true worth.
You may not embrace any formal tradition and are traveling your unique spiritual path.
Your unique path will be enhanced as you utilize the energy of the archetypes and as your meditative discipline is used to remain focused and open for growth as you silently repeat the following affirmations,
Making them your own.
I forgive myself for everything I have done in the past and accept myself unconditionally.
I fully accept every part of myself including my flaws and fears.
I define myself,
Others,
Events and circumstances no longer define who I am.
I am at peace with how I am.
I am good enough just the way that I am.
I speak out with confidence.
I meet new people with ease.
I surround myself with people who bring out the best in me.
I easily reveal my authentic self.
I have the ability to overcome any of life's hurdles.
Today I face my life head on.
I was born to succeed.
Take a few deep breaths coming into the here and now with these affirmations firmly planted into your conscious and subconscious mind.
Start to move and stretch and when you are ready stand up and stand confidently tall as you enter back into the world,
Your erect posture will be a reminder to yourself and reveal to others that you are a confident worthy person.
Return to this meditation frequently and embrace your exquisite self worth.
