This is a guided meditation for cultivating self-love and acceptance.
To begin,
Settle into a comfortable position that you can hold without any discomfort with the palms of your hands facing down.
Begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And another deep breath in.
And as you exhale out,
Imagine all your stress and worries leaving your body.
And another deep breath in.
And release into a soothing calm,
Letting your breath find its natural rhythm.
I would like you now to turn your hands so that your palms are facing up,
Bringing your attention to the palms of your hands.
Feel yourself receiving energy through the palms of your hands.
Feel this healing energy flowing into your hands.
It may feel like a tingling sensation or a numbness,
However it is for you,
Is just right.
There is no right or wrong.
And if you had to imagine what this energy looks like,
How would it look for you?
Again,
There is no right or wrong,
Even if you only get a sense of it.
And take another deep breath in,
Continuing to receive this energy.
And exhale,
Allowing these sensations to increase.
Good.
You're doing fine.
Now imagine allowing this energy to flow into the area of your heart.
Become aware of how this feels,
Healing energy flowing into your heart.
You may feel a tingling or a buzzing feeling,
Or perhaps another sensation.
Just observe how your heart center feels to you.
Now imagine that this energy you feel begins to illuminate as the color green.
Some people might see a brilliant emerald green,
And others might interpret this differently,
As shapes,
Sounds,
Or pictures.
However you interpret this will be right for you.
Just imagine this healing green energy illuminating your heart center.
In a moment,
Not yet,
I would like you to take three deliberate,
Deep breaths.
With each breath,
Imagine this energy illuminating your heart center,
Beginning to turn and spin.
With each breath,
Spinning faster and faster.
Taking the first deep breath in now,
The energy beginning to turn.
And exhale as it begins to turn even faster.
Another deep breath in,
The energy continuing to spin.
And exhale as the energy picks up speed even more.
And one last inhale,
Allowing the energy to find its optimal spin.
And exhale,
Relaxing into this wonderful,
Healing energy.
Feeling so calm,
So relaxed.
In a moment,
I would like you to repeat after me,
Silently in your own mind,
Allowing yourself to feel the emotion behind these words.
Repeat after me,
I am a spirit much bigger than this body that I inhabit.
Feel the expansiveness of this statement,
I am a spirit much bigger than this body that I inhabit.
And again,
Repeat after me,
I am valuable.
You are unique and contribute to this world as only you can.
Again,
Repeat this phrase and feel its truth,
I am valuable.
With the energy of your heart center still turning and spinning,
Repeat after me,
I deserve to be loved.
Don't just say the words but mean them.
Again,
I deserve to be loved.
Beyond all our limiting beliefs,
Feel the truth of these words,
I deserve to be loved.
Now bring your attention back to your heart center.
Imagine as you breathe that love is filling your heart with each and every breath.
The abundance of love in the universe flowing to you now.
The feeling of love and acceptance becoming more and more real with each and every breath.
In a moment but not yet,
I will have you take a deep breath in through your nose followed by a strong deliberate exhale out through your mouth.
With this strong exhale,
Feeling this love spread out through your entire body.
So now,
Taking that deep breath in through your nose,
Filling those lungs in a strong exhale from the mouth,
Allowing these feelings of love to spread out through your entire body,
Down your arms,
Down your legs,
Through your hands and feet.
Feel this love all around you now.
Always remember that the universe loves you exactly as you are.
