Welcome,
Dear soul.
This is Skye and I am honored to guide you through the sacred space of self-love and gentle awakening.
Before we begin,
Know that this time is a gift you are giving yourself.
A moment to remember your own worth and beauty.
Allow yourself to be free from distractions and settle into a space where you can truly be with yourself,
Just as you are.
I invite you to find a comfortable seat or lie down,
Letting your hands rest softly wherever is most comfortable for them.
And if it feels right,
Gently close your eyes.
Let's begin by taking three slow,
Nourishing breaths together.
Inhale,
Deeply welcoming in peace.
Exhale,
Slowly releasing any fear or tension.
Inhale,
Peace.
Exhale,
Fear.
Inhale,
Peace.
Exhale,
Fear.
Feel your body gently softening with each breath.
Notice the support of the earth beneath you,
Holding you in safety and love.
Now,
Let's bring gentle awareness to your body.
Notice the rise and fall of your breath.
Notice the gentle rhythm of your heart.
Allow your shoulders to drop,
Your jaw to unclench,
Your brow to soften.
If thoughts arise,
Greet them with kindness.
And gently return your attention to your breath.
There's nothing you need to do,
Just be here,
Present and open.
And if it feels right,
Dear ones,
Imagine a warm,
Gentle light above you.
A loving presence,
Like the first rays of morning sun from the ocean's horizon.
This light is the energy of love,
Compassion,
And the divine.
See it softly touching the crown of your head,
Blessing you with warmth and peace.
Let this light slowly travel down,
Caressing your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your cheeks.
The light moves down your neck and shoulders,
Melting away any tension.
Any heaviness.
Allow it to flow down your arms,
Through your chest and heart,
Into your belly,
Your hips,
Your legs,
All the way to your toes.
With each breath,
Feel this light filling you,
Reminding you that you are held by something greater.
A loving energy that is always here for you.
Now,
Dear one,
Turn your attention toward your heart center.
In this sacred space,
Imagine a beautiful flower.
A flower of self-love.
See its unique color,
Its delicate petals,
Its gentle glow.
With every inhale,
Imagine this flower blooming a little more,
Its petals opening,
Reaching toward the light.
With every exhale,
Feel warmth and love radiating from this flower,
Filling your chest,
Your whole being.
It's okay to take your time here.
Notice the details of your flower.
Its color,
Its scent,
Its texture.
How does it look today?
Perhaps it's just beginning to open,
Or maybe it's in full bloom.
There is no right or wrong way for your flower to be.
Let it be as it is,
And offer it your loving acceptance.
And notice that each day as you come back to this meditation,
It might be different,
And that's okay.
And if your mind wanders,
Gently return to your flower.
Let it be a reminder of your own beauty,
Your worth,
Your capacity for love.
Inhaling love,
Exhaling fear.
Inhaling love,
Exhaling fear.
Imagine now,
That with every breath,
The flower draws in light from above,
Transforming it into self-love and compassion that radiates through your entire being.
Feel this loving energy expanding,
Touching every cell,
Every organ,
Every thought,
Every feeling.
And if it feels right,
Silently offer a prayer or blessing to your heart.
You might say,
May I be held in love.
May I be gentle with myself.
May I remember my own sacredness.
Now I invite you to join me in softly or silently repeating these words.
I am worthy of love and kindness.
I honor myself exactly as I am.
Each breath nourishes the flower of self-love within me.
I am gentle with myself today.
I am connected to the loving energy of the universe.
Allow these words to settle deep in your heart,
Nurturing your inner garden.
As you rest in this loving space,
Ask yourself,
How can I carry this self-love into everything I do today?
Imagine yourself moving through your day,
Guided by the warmth of your flower,
Responding to yourself with compassion,
No matter what arises.
Visualize simple acts of kindness,
Pausing to breathe,
Speaking gently to yourself,
Noticing moments of beauty,
And remembering this loving presence within you.
And dear ones,
Let's begin to gently return to our daily lives.
As you return,
Bringing your awareness back to your breath,
Noticing its gentle rhythm.
Feel the support beneath you,
The air on your skin,
The sounds around you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Inviting gentle movement back into your body.
When you feel ready,
Softly open your eyes,
Carrying with you the warmth and compassion you've cultivated.
Remember,
Your flower of self-love is already within you,
Ready to bloom,
Ready to support you every single day.
And if you enjoyed this meditation,
I invite you to explore my course,
The Flower of Self-Love,
Where we deepen this practice together with new techniques and loving support.
Thank you for sharing this sacred,
Loving moment with me.
Return to this meditation as often as you wish.
Daily is best.
You are always deserving of your own love and care.
Wishing you all the love and light you deserve.
