Heart Series | #1 Growing Our Capacity To Listen And Speak

Many of us have grown up with the conditioning of performance-based acceptance where the unconditional love and wholehearted embrace our hearts were created to unfold and blossom with was missing.

This love we received was transactional and oftentimes conditional.

It's based upon whether or not we pleased those who cared for us.

Please join me in this self-reflection on love that will cleanse and prepare our hearts to blossom and expand.

After each line is read,

I invite you to repeat the line internally or aloud to your own heart.

Cultivating self-love is critical for us if we are to meet the challenges of our daily life and hold space for our own pain and sorrow with openness and spaciousness within our hearts,

Simply loving what is.

As our capacity grows to listen and to speak from our hearts,

We will cultivate the light and energy that only comes with unconditional and wholehearted love.

Please settle into your space however you are choosing to participate in this meditation.

Allow your respirations to be normal and at ease.

Feel that your body is supported and that you are safe and well.
