Thank you for listening to another episode of Come Back Home to You,
A meditation and self empowerment podcast.
Thanks for joining me today.
And we are talking about how we feel we deserve something or not.
And there is a quote that I love that says,
You'll be amazed at what you attract from the experience of your own self.
And I'm going to share with you that you'll be amazed at what you attract after you start believing in what you deserve.
Sometimes we can self sabotage our block great things to us because deep down,
We believe we really don't deserve it.
Have you ever felt that when maybe you entered a new relationship and felt so happy?
You thought,
Gosh,
Am I going to lose this person?
Will they go away?
Am I going to lose this person?
And that's how we imagine the worst.
We go to worst case scenario,
All or nothing thinking.
Brene Brown talks about her experience of looking down at her kids sleeping and feeling this bliss feeling this joy.
And then worst case scenario pops up in her head.
And she thinks of what bad happens to them.
And that's how our brains work.
Sometimes we can get in our heads and feel that worst case scenario and we can block our own happiness.
Have you ever come across someone who is just afraid maybe it's even yourself afraid to really experience joy for fear of the disappointment,
So we'd rather just not experience it at all.
It's much much safer that way to not feel that disappointment because that disappointment hurts.
There was one time I was rollerblading.
And I felt so excited to rollerblade.
It was after I had my oldest son.
And I was going down a hill.
I hadn't been rollerblading in years.
And I felt so happy.
And then all of a sudden,
One of my rollers in the blade just hit a divot in the pavement.
And I come to a crash on the road.
It was so bad.
I was going down an incline in a small hill and it was so horrible that some woman stopped she thought I actually got hit by a car.
I had gravel in my knees.
And I had at the time my friend rushed me to the ER and they had to scrub out the rocks in my knees.
And that did prevent me from wanting to go rollerblading for a long time.
I didn't want to experience that crash and burn again.
And how often does that happen if we experience a crash and burn in a relationship,
Or a job or a friendship,
Anything?
We don't want to experience that heartache again.
And that's a normal human feeling.
And you are not alone.
But I want you to know,
If you're listening to this,
I believe that if there's something on your heart,
That it is meant for you.
And to keep going.
And to believe that you really do deserve it.
If it's on your heart,
I know 100% and I just got the good chills,
That it's for you.
I even used to be afraid that what if my biggest dream of quitting my full time,
So I quit my full time job and started my own business.
And I have these huge dreams for myself.
And I remember feeling like what if,
What if I am not good enough for my own dream?
I felt like I was almost competing with myself like what if I'm not good enough to succeed and be successful and to have my dreams unfold?
Sometimes we can want what we want right now.
But it is and I want you to know that it will turn out even better than you can even imagine.
Kyle Cease,
He's an inspirational speaker,
And I listen to him.
And he talks about living from that place of deep down.
You know when you go through a low and you hit that that pavement,
And you feel those rocks in your in your knees,
That deep down place he says,
What if we lived from that place of deep down?
What if we lived from that knowing that we know everything will and is always working out for our highest good?
I want you to know that deep down without a question that you are deserving even if you don't feel that you are,
You are.
So I'm going to share with you a meditation.
And in this meditation,
I'm going to share a mantra that I use.
And this was brought to my attention and shared with me from my inspirational coach slash spiritual mama named Avine Banish.
And I was sharing with her something I was fearful of.
It's almost a fearful of being happy like fearful that it won't happen.
And she said,
What have you told yourself?
This is new.
And I like it.
And just keep repeating that to yourself.
This is new.
And I like it.
And I started repeating that to myself.
And it really shifted my energy.
It's part of rewiring our brain to look for the good to know without a doubt,
Things will work out for you.
Versus focusing on that fear,
Focusing on that doubt,
And never even taking those baby steps towards your dreams,
Or towards your happiness.
So I invite you to enjoy to go on this meditation,
The short guided meditation with me to get out of your head and back into your body to come back home to you.
So wherever you are,
Feel free to close your eyes.
Take in three deep breaths,
Breathing in through your nose,
Exhaling out of your mouth,
Letting your breath flow down to the lowest part of your stomach.
Softening the area between your hips.
Roll your shoulders down and back.
Place both feet on the floor to feel grounded and centered.
And whenever a thought comes to your mind,
Which it will come back to deepening and slowing your breath.
And when another thought comes about,
Come back to deepening and slowing your breath.
Always coming back to your breath.
If you feel any areas of tension in your body,
See if you can bring your breath to that area to fully relax your whole body.
I want you to think of one thing that you desire right now.
What is on your heart?
What is on your heart today?
What is that desire that you have?
How do you want to feel today?
And place both hands on your heart,
Keeping your eyes closed.
And imagine a beautiful light in the center of your chest.
And with every inhale,
This light grows bigger and bigger,
Hugging every cell in your body,
Every organ in your body,
Until your whole body is full of this energizing,
Beautiful,
Warm,
Fuzzy light.
And with both hands placed on your heart,
Repeat silently or out loud.
I deserve joy.
Joy is safe for me to feel.
I'm going to repeat that again.
Joy is safe for me to feel.
I am safe.
I am loved.
This is new,
And I like it.
And I'm going to say that one one more time.
This is new,
And I like it.
Take three deep breaths in through your nose,
This time leaving your mouth closed to seal it all in with a slight smile on your face,
Because why not?
And go ahead and start to awaken your body again,
Moving your head from side to side.
You can bring your arms down.
And I love to end by bringing my palms together.
Thumbs touching your forehead and say out loud,
I am wise.
With your palms together,
Thumbs touching your mouth,
Say out loud,
I speak kindness to myself and others.
Taking a nice big inhale and exhale,
Bringing your palms still touching in together,
Thumbs touching your heart.
I am love.
The wholeness in me honors the wholeness in you.
Keep believing in yourself.
I believe in you and keep shining.
Namaste.
