Hello beautiful.
This is a short guided meditation to help you increase your quotient of self-love.
Just get yourself settled in your favorite meditation position.
You can be sitting or lying down.
And then once you're settled,
Close your eyes.
Just tune into your breath.
Notice your breath without trying to change it.
And also notice if you feel any tension or if you feel relaxed without trying to change that either.
Inhale through your nose and then exhale through your mouth.
Continue to take deep full breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
As you breathe become aware of the state of your body and the quality of your mind.
Where's your body holding tension?
Do you feel closed off or shut down emotionally?
Where's your mind?
Is it wandering?
Or is it at home with the breath?
Is your mind at ease?
Or filled with any restlessness,
Negativity or doubt?
Place both hands over your heart and continue to inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
And ask yourself,
How does it feel to place my hands over this tender area?
This place where I experience love for self and for others.
Let your breath become smoother and more effortless and begin to breathe in and out through your nose.
Feel the flow of air moving into your lungs and back out into the world.
With each exhale imagine you are releasing any negative thoughts that may be lingering in your mind.
Continue to focus on your breath.
On each in-breath think,
I am worthy.
And on each out-breath,
I am enough.
Breathe in and in your mind,
I am worthy.
Breathe out and saying,
I am enough.
Let each inhale draw in self-love.
And each exhale release what is no longer serving you.
Take a few moments to breathe and recite this mantra internally.
I am worthy.
I am enough.
Notice how you feel as you say these words to yourself.
If your mind wanders at any point,
Know that that's okay.
It's the nature of the mind to wander.
Simply bring your attention back to your breath.
Notice how your thoughts come and go,
Whether positive or negative.
Simply allow them to pass on by like clouds floating in the sky.
Now visualize yourself standing in front of a mirror and look into your own eyes.
What do you see?
Pain and sadness?
Love and joy?
Peace and happiness?
Neutrality?
Regardless of what appears in the reflection,
Tell yourself,
I love you.
You are beautiful.
And you are worthy of happiness.
Know that what you see in the mirror in this moment may be different from what you see the next time you look.
Imagine now that you could breathe into your heart and visualize love pouring out of your hands and into your heart.
Let this love warm and permeate you from your heart center,
Filling the rest of your body.
Feel a sense of comfort and calm traveling up through your chest,
Into your neck and your head,
Out into your shoulders,
Arms and hands,
Down into your ribs,
Your belly,
Your pelvis,
Legs and feet.
Allow a sensation of warmth to fill you from head to toe.
Breathe here and know that love is always available for you when you need it.
When you're ready,
Take a few more deep mindful breaths.
Then gently and softly blinking open your eyes.
Just stay with this for a moment.
Sit for a few moments to acknowledge the unique experience that you had during this meditation.
Then go back to this practice or any other resources that you might have whenever you need to create a loving space for yourself.
This is a beautiful opportunity to learn something new about you and tune into your physical and emotional needs.
Let self-love enable you to build a stronger relationship with yourself and allow you to show up more fully,
Authentically in your life.
Let love to you.
