Welcome.
Here we are together.
Here you are.
A chance to practice moving even closer to love,
Strength,
Peace,
To living in a body that is aligned for you,
Your energy and your light.
You are here in this moment.
You have arrived.
Inviting you to take a breath to honor your arrival.
A breath to awaken your inner wisdom.
A breath to deepen your presence.
Gently bring some loving awareness to your body.
Perhaps start by just noticing how your body is positioned into whatever is supporting you.
The ground,
The bed,
The chair,
The couch.
Feel the places where contact is being made.
And now some loving awareness being brought to your head,
Your face,
Your shoulders,
Your arms,
Your chest and belly,
Your upper and lower back,
Your glutes and hips,
Legs,
Hands and feet.
Softening into presence.
With each exhale an invitation to release what does not serve you.
And with each inhale,
Welcome compassion.
And now imagine yourself standing in front of a mirror.
You see your body,
Every curve,
Every line,
Every mark of your lived experience.
Instead of judgment,
Imagine smiling at her.
Loving her.
Appreciating her.
This is you.
And she is worthy of love.
If loving yourself feels hard,
Inviting you to breathe love into that difficulty,
Can you honor the part of you that struggles?
The one shaped by family,
Culture,
Community,
Ancestry,
Experiences.
She too deserves tenderness.
Now imagine yourself walking through life with lightness.
Confident,
Proud,
Alive in your body.
Every step is rooted in self-love.
Every choice,
An act of alignment,
Alignment towards more joy,
More peace,
More strength,
More happiness,
More vitality.
As you breathe,
As you anchor yourself into this moment,
I'll be saying these next words on your behalf.
An invitation for these words to wash over you or circle around you or sink into the cells of you.
You can certainly repeat them or let the words do their own work.
I love myself.
I love myself even when I feel unlovable.
My body is strong and wise.
I honor the journey of creating more vitality.
Each day I choose one step toward my most aligned self.
Inviting you to allow these words to soak in like sunlight on your skin.
Taking three slow,
Nourishing breaths.
When you're ready,
Gently opening your eyes and carrying this love with you into the rest of your day or evening.
Take the very best care of you.
