Welcome.
Take a moment to settle into stillness.
Find a position that feels supportive whether seated or lying down.
Allow your spine to be long yet soft.
And let your hands rest gently.
Slowly begin to close down your eyes if that feels safe or lower your gaze.
Softening the skin around your face.
Softening the muscles of your jaw.
Take a deep breath in through the nose.
And a long slow exhale out.
Again inhale feeling the air expand within you.
Exhale releasing any tension,
Any weight you may be carrying.
Let your breath settle into a natural rhythm.
And feel yourself arriving completely,
Fully into this moment.
Bring awareness to your body.
Notice the places where you're holding tension.
Maybe it's your shoulders,
Your jaw,
Your belly.
Without force invite them to soften.
Feel the gentle rise and fall of your breath.
With each inhale create space.
With each exhale release what no longer needs to be held.
Now place your hand over your heart.
Feel its steady rhythmic beat beneath your palm.
A quiet grounding reminder of the life and love that you are.
Now imagine a place within you.
A space of warmth,
Safety and love.
This is the sanctuary of your heart.
The place within you that has always known love.
See it however it appears to you.
A glowing light,
A quiet room,
A vast open sky.
Let it take shape in whatever way feels right.
Step inside.
Feel its warmth,
Its gentleness,
Its unconditional embrace.
This space within you has never doubted your worth.
It has never questioned whether you are enough.
Because here,
Within,
You have always been enough.
If there are parts of yourself that feel heavy today,
Moments of self-judgment,
Of doubt,
Of harshness,
Offer them kindness now.
Imagine wrapping them in warmth,
In light.
As if you were holding your own younger self with the gentlest,
Most loving embrace.
Whisper to yourself,
''I see you,
I hear you,
I love you''.
Let those words settle into every part of you that has ever felt unseen.
Giving yourself this space for those parts of you to rise to the surface.
Wrapping them with that same warmth and light.
Now allow these words to fill you.
''I am worthy of my own love.
I meet myself with kindness.
I embrace every part of who I am.
I am enough just as I am''.
Say them silently or aloud or simply let my whispers root the words deep into your skin.
Let them arrive into every cell of your being.
Feel them take root within you.
''I am worthy of my own love.
I meet myself with kindness.
I embrace every part of who I am.
I am enough just as I am''.
Slowly bring awareness back to your breath.
Back to the feeling of your heart beneath your hands.
Know that this love,
The love within you has always been here.
It is not something to be earned.
It is not something to be found outside of you.
It is you.
Now gently,
When you feel ready,
Begin to move your fingers,
Your toes,
Taking a deep breath in through your nose and a slow,
Long exhale out through your mouth.
And in your own time,
Gently begin to blink your eyes open,
Letting the outside world return.
Carry this warmth with you today.
You are worthy of love,
Always.
Sending you softness and peace.
