Meditation Script:

Today, I invite you to direct your focus towards your sources of receiving love and

those areas where you show up with love to give. First, find a comfortable position

or feel free to enjoy a meditative walk or any meditative movement your body

allows. Moving your body enhances your cardiovascular health, inviting wellness

to your physical heart.

Whether moving or resting in stillness, bring to mind someone in your life who shows you

support and love and to whom you reciprocate that support and love. Perhaps more

than one person comes to mind. Allow yourself to fully bring to mind that

person or those people who are a source of love for you. Extend a moment of

gratitude to this person for their love, saying to yourself, “I am thankful for

the love I receive from [name the person or people].” Now, extend that

gratitude to the love you have shown them, saying to yourself, “I am thankful

for the love I have for [name the person or people].” Breathe.

Notice how your body feels, whether it is in movement or stillness. Bring awareness to

thoughts or memories that arrive about the person or people you love and who

have shown you love.

Now, direct your focus toward some place you love, a place that brings you a sense of

comfort and joy. Imagine you are in that space. What do you see? What do you

hear? What aromas are in the air in this space? What, if anything, do you

taste? What is your experience of physical sensation in this space—is the air

warm or cool, are you in motion or stillness?

Here, say to yourself, “I am comforted in this place. I am joyful in this place. I am loved

in this place.” Breathe.

Now, direct your attention toward something beyond yourself that you hold a passion for.

Consider things like volunteer work, passion projects, anything you might think of as a

“labor of love.” Bring to mind your “why.” What is it about this work that keeps you

going? Why is this work important to you? Imagine immersing yourself, for a

moment, in this work, saying to yourself, “I bring love to others and myself

through [name the work].”

Here, directing your attention toward accepting yourself as you are, knowing you are

a work in progress, say to yourself, “I am enough. I love myself. I am enough.

I love myself. I am enough. I love myself.”

If you are in motion, when you’re ready as it feels safe to do so, find a moment to pause.

Bring your left hand over your heart, right hand over left. Find a few deep breaths

in and out through your nose aware of both your external and internal sources

of love.

Continue moving through your day, allowing yourself to receive and give love. Thank you

for meditating with me. Peace.
