Hello,
Welcome,
My name is Denise Jarvie and today's meditation will be about learning to care about and loving yourself.
You know that everything is changing.
We are in the middle of a great shift,
Moving from the age of Pisces into the age of Aquarius.
The old paradigms of love,
Which were rooted in sacrifice,
Longing and external validation,
Are just simply dissolving.
The age of Pisces taught us deep lessons about devotion,
Surrender and romantic ideals,
Yet often through suffering,
Illusion and the need to be accepted or completed by another.
As we move into the age of Aquarius,
Self-love is no longer an act of selfishness,
But a foundation for all love.
We are realising that the relationship that we have with ourself becomes the foundation for all other relationships.
When we honour,
Cherish and nurture ourselves,
We radiate love outward,
Creating more authentic,
Empowered relationships.
This meditation invites you to connect with your true essence,
To see yourself through the eyes of unconditional love,
And to understand that you are already whole.
So when you feel ready,
Find yourself a quiet,
Comfortable space where you can stand or sit in front of a mirror.
Let this moment be a sanctuary,
A space where love meets you exactly as you are.
Gently just settle into your seat or your stance,
And just take a deep,
Steady breath in through your nose,
And then just gently exhale through your mouth,
And we'll take another deep breath in,
And as you breathe out,
Feel your body just gently,
Gently relaxing.
All tension and tightness just begins to melt away.
Feel your shoulders drop down,
And you may like to give them a little bit of a roll backwards,
Just to move any tension or tightness out of your shoulders.
Feel your jaw become relaxed,
And let's take another deep breath in,
And now bring your awareness to your reflection.
Look into your own eyes,
The gateway to your soul.
If this feels too confronting or a little intense,
You may close your eyes,
Turning your gaze inward.
There is no rush here,
Just only presence in this moment,
And in this moment,
And in this moment.
As you feel yourself just gently breathing in and out,
Observing your reflection or observing your inner world,
You begin to feel a rhythm,
A rhythm of sacred inhalation and exhalation.
As you breathe in,
You are breathing in that beautiful color green,
The energy of the heart of healing,
Of compassion.
And as you breathe out,
Imagine you're breathing out gold,
The radiant essence of love,
Of your own divine light.
Continue this flow,
Feeling these energies moving in harmony within you.
You are filling your being with love,
With warmth,
With the truth of your own beauty.
As you hold a steady,
Compassionate connection with your reflection or your inner eye,
Feel yourself softening even more,
Breathing in love,
Breathing out love.
And imagine now the warmth of a lover's presence.
But not just any lover,
The greatest love of your life,
The one who cherishes every part of you,
Sees you completely and delights in your essence.
And now realize that that lover is you.
You are becoming a lover of life,
Awakening to the delicious intimacy of the present moment.
Every breath is a kiss,
Every heartbeat a caress,
Every thought a whispered declaration of devotion to yourself.
Feel a deep and profound connection to your being,
A love so full,
So complete,
That it spills over effortlessly into the world around you.
You are open,
You are ready,
You are worthy and you are whole.
When love arrives in its many forms through a person,
An experience or a moment,
It will be familiar,
Effortless and delightful,
Because you already know this love,
Because you are this love.
Hold your gaze,
Outer or inner,
For another 30 seconds,
Breathing in green and breathing out gold,
Letting love flow through every part of your body.
And I'll call you when it's time to come back.
Feel this love in your fingertips,
Feel it in your heart,
Feel it wrapping around you like a warm embrace,
Whispering,
You are enough,
You are worthy and you are love itself.
Call all your energies back to this moment,
To this place.
Imagine you are surrounded by green and gold.
And when you are ready,
Gently open your eyes to the love that is already all around you.
Imagine you can see it in the light,
In the space,
In the very air that you breathe.
Love,
You are home and so it shall be.
Take one final deep breath in and let it flow from you and smile.
You are radiant,
You are beloved,
You are complete.
