Welcome to this soothing audio meditation.
This audio uses affirmations in a relaxed state to soothe ourselves after an intense emotion or an intense state.
This meditation can be done lying down or in a comfortable seat.
Whatever suits you best in this moment.
Take a moment to settle into your space,
Making sure your body is nice and comfortable.
And making sure your body feels held by the surface that you are choosing for this practice.
It can be helpful to bring a pillow or a blanket over your thighs if you're seated.
Or over your belly and your chest if you're lying down.
These can help us feel more grounded and more held.
As you settle into stillness,
Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,
Sigh the breath out of your mouth.
Let's keep breathing like this.
Breathing in fully through the nose.
And breathing out completely through the mouth.
Allowing sounds or sighs to come out as you exhale.
And with every exhale just let go of any thought,
Expectation,
Or should have.
Every exhale empties you of what is not actually present in this time and space.
Every exhale takes you deeper into what is actually true for you in this moment.
You can choose to begin breathing in and out the nose or to keep inhaling through the nose and out the mouth.
As we begin softening the weight of our body down.
Beginning with the weight of your head.
Allowing the forehead,
The eyes,
The cheeks and the nose to melt down towards the ground.
Softening the jaw,
The ears,
The lips.
Softening the back of the neck.
The sides of the neck.
Softening your throat.
Allowing the weight of your collarbones.
Your shoulders and shoulder blades to soften down.
Allowing the weight of the upper arms,
The elbows.
The lower arms,
Both wrists and hands,
To soften their weight down into the ground.
Softening all of your chest.
All of your torso at the weight of your back into the ground.
Softening the weight of your hips.
Your bottom,
Your thighs.
Softening your knees,
Your calves,
Your shins and your feet.
Your whole body is giving its weight down.
And receiving the support.
Of the Earth below you.
From this space we're going to remind ourselves that we are lovable no matter what.
You seen it affirmation?
I deserve love?
Even when I feel strong emotions.
We will use different versions of this affirmation.
So for the moment,
Stay with this one.
I deserve love.
Even when feeling strong emotions.
I deserve love.
Even when feeling strong emotions.
And allow your mind to repeat these words.
Observing how your body responds to receiving these words and remembering the truth behind these words.
I deserve love,
Even when feeling strong emotions.
Repeat that affirmation as you feel called.
Bringing this knowing back into your body.
Coming to our next affirmation.
So let go of the past one.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
Feeling your body and the weight of your body.
Being supported.
By the ground beneath you.
Now repeating as you feel called to the following affirmation.
I deserve love?
Even when I'm putting myself first.
I deserve love.
Even when I am putting myself first.
I deserve love even when I'm putting myself first.
And allow your body,
Your cells to receive the truth of these words.
And observe how your body responds to this loving affirmation and reminder.
I deserve love even when I'm putting myself first.
Letting go of this affirmation feeling into your body.
Allowing the weight of our body to melt even just a tiny bit deeper into the surface that we're sitting or lying down on.
As we come to our final affirmation.
I am loved.
By being myself.
I am loved by being myself.
Again repeating this affirmation whenever it feels appropriate for you.
And allowing the cells of your body,
Your beingness,
To receive the vibration,
The frequency and the truth of these words.
Next time you exhale drop this affirmation and take the last few moments of this meditation to tell yourself I love me.
I am open to loving myself just the way I am today.
I am open to loving myself.
Just the way I am today.
I love me just the way I am today.
As you tell yourself how much you love yourself.
Observe how your body responds.
Take a deep exhale.
Letting go of the affirmations.
And smiling to yourself,
To your beingness.
Gently opening the eyes.
And orienting back into your space.
Thank you so much for joining this loving,
Soothing meditation.
