We may have been taught it's noble…or selfish to put our needs first….. But I challenge you to let go of any guilt….and to put yourself first with kindness and compassion ... .by doing this we fulfill a sense of self love…. and are better equipped to be there for others…… The intention of today’s healing meditation is to find the confidence and wisdom of self love.  Lets invoke: I bless you on this day…calling forth your Spirit…Spirit guides Angels and Masters to guide you in loving yourself unconditionally and putting yourself first…..and so it is …and so be it…. Find a comfortable quiet space….relax your body in a position that is best for you…take a few breaths without changing it…….notice your breath….notice you are breathing….. Now become more directive to your breath… inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth…..allow any tension to melt away…….settle in….PAUSE From this place of stillness…..bring attention to your physical body……. Begin with the lower-body…feet…legs….hips….belly…..upper chest….arms……shoulders….face….head….relax This is a moment for you to embrace self-kindness……… release guilt……. and savor the beauty of being present with yourself…..PAUSE Acknowledging the importance of putting yourself first………. In the hustle and bustle of life…… it's easy to forget that taking care of yourself is not selfish…..it's a necessity……. Close your eyes and repeat after me in your mind……PAUSE I am deserving of love and kindness I choose to prioritize myself without guilt I put myself first I love you…I am listening (Repeat 3x) Visualize how it feels to put yourself first…….feel the empowerment and assurance….Your confidence grows that you can do this……. PAUSE As women……. we often carry the weight of responsibility for others……. Release any guilt you may feel about taking time for yourself……….. Recognize that by nurturing your well-being……..you become better equipped to support those around you. PAUSE Now…….. imagine a path leading you to a quiet…….. secluded space……..a sanctuary just for you……….PAUSE  This is your alone time……… a time to listen to yourself…..a place of refuge from the demands of the outside world………  As you walk this path…….. feel a sense of liberation and peace………at the end of this path you see a lake……… A time for renewal……and rebirth……you enter the water………..slowly…. PAUSE And then standing waist deep……you close your eyes and dunk under…..holding your breath…..under the water the sounds are muffled…….but clearly you hear……put yourself first…..I love you In this moment you let go of the need to constantly do and achieve………you allow yourself to simply be………LONG PAUSE You emerge from the water ... .and feel liberated……whole…..complete…..and you find love for self…… in the purest form…..PAUSE Now place one hand on your heart and one on your belly…….. breathe……..Take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this present moment….  Breathe in this essence…….you are growing…….growing more of your own beauty…….. on your next inhale………stop searching outside of yourself…….it is all here… right now and right now……..PAUSE  Keep finding yourself back here….again and again………exhale….
