6-Minute Self Love Guided Meditation

Hi...

I'm glad you're here.

Find a comfortable way to sit, and let your hands rest wherever they land.

For the next few minutes...

you don't have to fix anything about yourself.

Breathe in through your nose...

And let it go slowly...

out through your mouth.

Think of something you said to yourself today.

Maybe it "why was did I do that" or "I'm so behind."

Just notice the tone of it.

Is it sharp?

A little mean?

Would you talk to a friend that way?

Probably not...

and that's okay.

You're only noticing.

Place a hand on your chest, if that feels alright.

Feel the warmth of your palm...

the small rise under it.

Breathe in, into the space under your hand...

And breathe out...

softening around your heart.

Now picture yourself sitting across a kitchen table...

tired, a bit worn out.

Look at that person the way you'd look at someone you love.

Quietly, say to them...

May you be kind to yourself.

May you rest when you're tired.

Now let those words turn around...

and come back to you.

You're the one sitting at that table, after all.

I can speak to myself gently.

I'm allowed to make mistakes.

I am worth my own care.

I'm doing better than that voice says.

Stay here for a bit.

Nothing to do.

Just you...

being on your own side.

Keep your hand there a moment longer.

Next time the critic shows up...

try asking,

what would I say to a friend?

Let your hand drop.

Wiggle your fingers.

Open your eyes when you're ready.
