Good morning, beautiful. I'm so thankful that you're here with me today. Let's go ahead and close our eyes. Maybe place your hand right on your heart and maybe the other hand on your belly. And then let yourself take a deep breath in, feeling your chest and your belly expand. And when you feel like it can't expand anymore, hold your breath.
And now breathe it out with a big sigh. Now lower your hands and allow yourself to come into a nice, steady rhythm of breathing. Noticing your body's a little softer, a little more relaxed. Noticing your mind is a little less concerned about thoughts inside and instead more present. Listening to my voice.
Feeling in to the gentle movement of your body. Now bring your attention to your heart. This is where compassion begins. Not from the outside world, but from within you. Feel the warmth in your chest as if a soft light is starting to glow there. With every breath that light grows warmer, radiating love and kindness
Compassion doesn't mean being perfect. It means accepting yourself fully, embracing your struggles and meeting them with love instead of judgment. Now, imagine you're holding a small, delicate flower in your hand. This flower represents you, your heart, your feelings, your experiences. Notice how gentle you are with it, how tenderly you hold it.
This is how you can hold yourself with the same care, the same tenderness, knowing that you deserve the same kindness that you offer to others. Breathe in deep and as you exhale, feel any harshness you've been holding towards yourself dissolve. Let it melt away. And with every breath in, feel the compassion grow. When we're compassionate with ourselves,
We understand that we're human. We're learning. We're growing. And that's enough. We are enough. Now feel that compassion expand. It starts in your heart. And with each breath, it moves outward, spreading through your body, through your mind. It fills the spaces where you've been hard on yourself. It wraps itself around your mistake, your worries, and tells you,
it's okay. I'm here for you and I love you. One of the most beautiful things about compassion is that when it begins within you, it flows effortlessly outward, touching everything you do and everyone you meet. So bring your hand right up to your heart again. Let your other hand follow. And as you take a big deep breath,
Feel the energy and the power of compassion warm within you, knowing that it dissolves all of the heaviness, all of the doubts, all of the judgment. Feel them all float away as you are here, powerfully and proudly, you. Namaste, beautiful.
