Welcome to this 10 minute heart opening meditation,
With the invitation to tune into the language of your heart.
Take a moment to find stillness.
Allow your body to rest in whatever position feels supported.
Notice the weight of your body on the ground or the chair beneath you.
Let the breath come naturally,
Soft,
Easy,
Effortless.
With each exhale,
Feel yourself arriving here.
With each inhale,
Invite a little more space,
A little more softness.
Let the rhythm of your breath be an anchor,
Steady and kind.
Now,
Bring one hand to your heart,
One hand to your belly.
Feel the warmth of your touch,
The gentle movement beneath your palms.
You are breathing life into the places that guide you most deeply.
Now,
Bring your attention to your heart.
Sense its quiet movement,
A pulse,
A vibration,
A living rhythm.
And as you breathe,
Imagine light or warmth expanding from this space,
Each breath creating a little more openness,
A little more flow.
If it helps,
You might imagine your breath moving in and out through the heart,
As if your heart itself were breathing.
Let yourself rest in that space of gentle expansion.
There's nothing to fix or change.
Only to listen and to feel.
You might sense emotions here,
Tenderness,
Gratitude,
Ache,
Love.
Whatever arises,
Breathe with it.
Every feeling is welcome in the language of the heart.
Now,
In this open space,
Begin to listen inwardly.
Ask softly,
Not with your mind,
But with your breath,
Heart,
What are you longing for right now?
Pause,
Breathe,
And listen.
Maybe there are no words,
Only a feeling,
A direction,
A pull towards something meaningful.
Trust whatever comes.
It may be a whisper,
A sensation of warmth,
A simple sense of yes,
This matters.
If emotions move through,
Let them.
They are the river of your truth,
Clearing the path back to yourself.
Your heart knows what brings you alive,
What nourishes you,
What love feels like.
Breathe into that knowing,
Even if it's quiet.
Now,
Imagine your heart and your belly,
Your intuition,
Connecting.
A thread of light linking the two,
So that what your heart feels,
Your gut can ground.
Let that connection grow stronger with each breath,
From head to heart to belly.
All aligned,
Clear.
Ask yourself gently,
What feels true for me now?
What small action or intention could honor my heart today?
There's no need to decide,
Just let the answer form naturally,
Like a seed being planted in warm soil.
Now,
Bring both hands over your heart,
Take a few deeper breaths,
In through the nose,
And out through the mouth.
Feel gratitude for your heart,
For its patience,
Its courage,
Its wisdom.
Whisper inwardly,
Thank you for guiding me.
I trust you to lead me toward what is real.
Let your breath settle again,
Rest in stillness for a few final moments.
No effort,
No direction,
Just presence.
And when you're ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to your surroundings,
Feel your body supported,
Your heart open,
Your mind clear.
Take one final breath of appreciation for this moment,
For yourself,
For the journey of listening within.
Thank you for listening.
