Self-Compassion Meditation

Welcome to Be With Melinda.

Take this time to return to yourself.

To pause,

To soften,

To listen,

And to love.

I love you.

I am listening.

When was the last time you closed your eyes and said those words?

To your own heart.

When did you last offer yourself what you so freely give to others?

Say it again.

I love you.

I am listening.

Feel what begins to shift.

Notice what stirs in your chest,

In your breath,

In the quiet beneath the noise.

Let the softening rise.

Who comes forward in you when you say these words with sincerity?

This soft presence is your unstoried self,

Your highest self,

The part of you that is whole,

Eternal,

And beautifully unburdened.

There is such beauty in meeting yourself here and here,

Beneath the roles and beneath proving.

This self does not need to be earned.

It simply is.

Free,

Clear,

And loving.

I love you.

I am listening.

Speaking these words is not just a practice.

It's a homecoming,

A reconnection with the part of you often forgotten in the pursuit of enoughness.

The truth is you are the one.

You've always been the one.

When you turn inward,

When you soften and speak kindly to your own soul,

You remember.

When you love yourself first,

Others who love you add to your fullness.

This practice isn't about perfection.

It's about presence,

And in presence,

Everything is welcome.

This space of vulnerability is sacred.

No story,

No identity,

No wound can hold here.

Only truth.

With your eyes closed and your breath slow,

Let the music or the silence rise in your body.

Let it soften the edges.

Place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly,

And repeat,

I love you.

I am listening.

Let yourself be wrapped in your own tenderness.

You are love.

You are light.

You are hope.

Remember yourself here and come back often.

Let your voice nourish you and your hands hold you,

And let your soul lead you home.

And when the world becomes too loud,

When the path feels far,

Open up,

Return,

Speak to your heart,

Follow its rhythm.

I love you.

I am listening.

May it always be so.

Thank you for listening with me today.

Wishing you the greatest of ease in this ritual of self-love and becoming your own beloved.
