Epi 82: Infusing Loving Kindness - Mini Meditation Reset
When was the last time you gave yourself a mental and emotional boost? Every once in a while, we need to reset and bring ourselves back to center. Feeding yourself positive affirmations allows you to elevate your mood, find a sense of peace, and shift your perspective to help you keep your life together, girl! The Get Your Life Together, Girl mini bi-monthly reset is here to help you reset and remember who you are.
Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Sitting with your back tall and your shoulders relaxed, close your eyes. Prepare your mind and heart for a journey through the self to deliver loving-kindness to every ounce of your being—the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self.
As your mind finds a calm state, allow your breath to find a pattern of ease, deepening every few breaths.
Loving-kindness or Metta meditation is the ultimate form of generous, selfless love toward the self. This is a traditional meditation combined with new affirmations and self-kindness.
As it is said, hatred cannot coexist with love and kindness. It dissipates when supplanted with thoughts of love and compassion.
The longest relationship you will have during your time on this earth is the one you have with yourself. If the relationship does not reflect love, compassion, and kindness, you cannot reflect the same emotions and movements to those around you. What is happening within us is reflected out into the world through our actions and the way we show up. When out of balance, we find mirror relationships, experiences, and feelings, thus the importance of genuine loving-kindness.
Thus the reason why we must journey to befriend who you are, as you are, with self-love, compassion, and poise.
Take another full deep breath, bringing in love, and letting any less than love leave.
Allow your mind to be here, right now, only in this space.
As your breath deepens and your heart slows, with calmness leading your thought process, bring forth a happy memory. Let it be a day that was filled with joy—a moment where your mind, body, and soul aligned and created pure bliss in the moment.
Witness it.
See yourself inside of it. Allow the small details of the day to fill your mind. Witness the colors, the smells, the people, the movement around you. If there’s music, hear it. Allow yourself to be inside this precious memory and feel it as much as you see it.
Allow the good feeling emotions to cover you and settle.
Take a full deep breath and let it go.
Bring your awareness back to your breath. In and out. In and out.
Place your palms on your heart and repeat after me if it serves you.
“I love and honor myself. I am grateful for this life. It is now my intention to give all of the loving-kindness I so readily give to others to myself.”
Now, Let’s begin our loving-kindness mediation. With each sentence, open your heart and mind. Then, connect your emotional body by allowing the same feelings you felt in your happy memory to be the frame in which you feed yourself deep, loving compassion and kindness.
Repeat after me or allow these words to settle within you while you take ownership of these truths and intentions that belong within and to you.
May I be well.
May I always remember that wellness is soul deep.
May I be peaceful.
May I remember that peace is always within me and that I can always return home to the place, the center of me, that holds that beautiful harmony.
May I be happy.
May I see the lessons in my life for what they are—teachers. Movements to help me grow into whom I came here to be. May this understanding infuse happiness into everything I do.
May I appreciate the gift of being alive.
I know that others will not end this day the same. This moment is precious, and I lovingly welcome the gift.
I witness and live within the joy available to me and mindfully spread it others.
I am filled with loving-kindness and know that I have the power to mirror this to everyone I meet.
May I be comfortable.
May I understand that comfort is a state of mind, a form of being, that I have the power to create through the mindset of love.
May I be healthy and strong.
I know that my health is more than bound to my physical self. My health is also emotional, mental, spiritual, and even financial. I know I have the power to be healthy and strong in each of these aspects.
Today, I make a conscious effort to create a picture of my overall health, the picture that becomes my path to the fullest expression of my strength and health.
May I be at ease.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
I know that life can become overwhelming and feel like a struggle or a burden, but I also know that ease is always available. So I lovingly and kindly choose ease.
May my heart radiate positive truths.
I understand that my energy speaks volumes. I understand that how I show up is as important as what I say and do. From now on, I radiate only beauty.
May I open myself to love and prosperity.
I am letting go of anything that has held me back before and open my arms to possibility. With my mind and heart open, I know that abundance can and is moving through my life in a way I’ve never imagined.
I am prosperous.
I am love.
I am kind.
I am open to everything meant for me.
May I be free of struggle and suffering.
I live in a kind universe. So even when unkind actions occur, I know I do not have to give my wellness to the opposite of love, light, faith, beauty…
May I improve myself every day.
I desire to increase in every area of my life, not only for myself, but for everyone around me. I boost my emotional wellness. I raise my physical health.
I increase my mental well-being.
I enhance my financial strength.
I increase everything good in this world for me and for all.
I lovingly know I am blessed in my life.
May I see the positive in everything and everyone—if I am love, I know now that everyone is love, too.
At the base of everything is loving-kindness.
May I work in harmony with others.
May I know that the kindness I show is the kindness I will receive.
Where showing this kindness may have felt like a burden before, it now feels like an open door, a new adventure, a new piece of me that knows everything that happens in my life is for my greatest good.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
May all of my needs be met.
May I wrap love around the beliefs that have kept me small. May I be kind and offer myself grace knowing that I’m stepping into a new space and time.
May I be humble in this kindness, humble in this love, grateful for this beauty.
May I find harmony in all things and be better and better each day from here on out.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
Repeat after me:
“I love and honor myself. I am grateful for this life. It is now my intention to live in this beautiful loving-kindness.”
Take another breath and let it go.
When you are ready, let yourself bring your attention back to the current moment.
Notice how your body feels. Begin to notice the movement around you. Off yourself love, compassion, and grace for all the journey you just took.
You are strong.
You are powerful.
You are peace.
You are healthy, happy, and kind.
I wish nothing but genuine loving-kindness for you always.
Anytime you need a moment to come back to center. Repeat these words and lean into your truth—you are loving-kindness in motion.
