Welcome.
Begin by finding a comfortable position,
Allowing your body to settle,
Supported by the earth beneath you.
Shuffle in your seat as often and as much as you need to,
To find that true comfortable spot.
And let's begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Let your shoulders drop,
Your jaw soften and your hands rest gently.
Give yourself permission to just be.
There's nothing to fix here,
Nothing to strive for,
Only a soft return,
A soft return to yourself.
And another deep breath in through your nose and slow,
Soft exhale through the mouth.
As the sound vibrates around and within you,
Allow each note of the crystal bowl to be a reminder,
A reminder that you are safe.
And begin just to follow the rhythm of your breath.
Exhale,
Release tension.
Inhale the belief in yourself and exhale what no longer serves you.
Continue that breath.
Inhale,
Welcome and ease.
And a gentle exhale,
Releasing any tension.
Inhale the belief in yourself and exhale what no longer serves you.
And exhale,
Bringing your awareness to your body.
Feel the air around you brushing against your skin.
The weight of your body grounding you down.
And that subtle pulse of life moving through you.
Place your left hand on your heart and your right hand on your belly.
And repeat after me.
First,
Just in your mind's eye silently within yourself.
I choose to trust myself.
I choose to listen to what I feel.
And then whisper out loud after me.
I choose to trust myself.
I choose to listen to what I feel.
And then repeat out loud like a statement.
I choose to trust myself.
I choose to listen to what I feel.
Let those words settle.
Allow them to arrive within you.
And breathe with them as you choose to trust yourself.
And you choose to listen to what you feel.
With your breath,
Present and flowing.
Notice the pleasure of breath entering your lungs.
With each inhale,
Filling the lungs and with each exhale,
Letting them soften.
Notice the warmth of your body.
The temperature of the breath as you inhale,
And how it changes when you exhale.
Notice the rhythm of your inner world.
There is beauty here.
There is sensuality and slowness.
There is confidence in your presence.
Invite that energy,
That quality,
No matter how challenging it might feel.
Invite that energy in.
Breathe in and out as you feel into the beauty,
The slowness,
And the confidence in your pure presence.
And repeat gently now,
Inwardly or aloud,
Choose whichever one feels best.
Repeat this to yourself.
I allow myself to feel.
And to enjoy what I feel.
I allow myself to feel.
And to enjoy what I feel.
I allow myself to feel.
And to enjoy what I feel.
My body is wise.
My body is mine.
My body is wise.
My body is mine.
My body is wise.
My body is mine.
Let these words land in your being.
Open to receiving.
Feel into the warmth.
Into the words.
And into how they land in you.
Allowing these words to land deeper and deeper as you settle into more softness,
Slowness,
And presence.
And to say even more affirmations.
Repeat it after me and then repeat it to yourself as often and as quickly or slowly as feels right for you.
In between each affirmation,
We will take a pause.
A pause of silence to really allow that vibration,
That feeling and sensation of the words to stay with you,
To resonate with you,
To integrate themselves into your being.
To repeat it out loud or whisper it to yourself at least once.
And then repeat in your mind,
Allowing each word of the affirmation to settle deeper into your being.
There's no need to force anything here.
Just softly receiving that energy of each word.
I believe in myself.
I trust in my feelings.
I trust in my feelings.
Allow love to flow through me.
To flow through me.
I move with ease and confidence.
Allowing it all to sink deep into yourselves.
And just slowly start to return back to your breath.
And take a little moment now to notice how your body feels.
What has softened?
What has awakened?
And let this be your truth.
You are love.
You are light.
And you are worthy of your own tenderness.
Carry this knowingly within yourself.
Reminding yourself as often as you need that you are love.
You are light.
And you are worthy of your own tenderness.
Take a moment to take a deep breath in with me.
And exhale gently out.
And let this mantra,
This affirmation carry you forward.
I am confident,
Open and full of life.
I relax.
I trust.
I enjoy.
Let's take another deep breath in together.
And let it go.
Take your time to slowly return back to your body,
Your breath and your space.
Thank you so much for meditating here with me.
Whenever you are ready,
Just gently blink your eyes open.
