Hey there, welcome to Wake Me Up and to this loving kindness meditation.
This practice of loving kindness revolves around sending positive energy towards yourself and others.
Imagine it as a big hug that you first give to yourself and then extend to everyone else.
And the way we'll implement loving kindness is through visualization and affirmations.
I think you'll quickly see the reason that this practice is so popular because it has to
a great effect on your emotional and mental state.
So go ahead and find a comfortable position that you'd like to meditate in.
And that can be any position that you'd like.
Whatever works best for you, your body, and the space you're in.
And once you've found that position, just allow yourself to relax.
Nice deep breath in.
Fill all the way up through your chest and your belly.
Hold at the top.
And then exhale, release.
and gently close your eyes.
Now for this first moment or so of meditation,
just allow yourself to settle deeper and deeper within.
Oh, of any tension, any stress, anything nagging at your mind.
You deserve this time to reset.
So soften your face, drop your jaw, relax your shoulders down.
And as you continue, just to settle.
deeper and deeper. Begin to envision yourself in your mind. Any image that you feel portrays you
in a loving way. See yourself in a way that makes you feel good about who you are. And with that
loving image of yourself in mind, repeat these affirmations. May I be happy. May I be healthy?
may I be, exchange that image in your mind for the image of someone else that you want to send
good energy to, and it can be anyone, your best friend, a family member, a co-worker,
or someone you only know superficially, whoever it is.
portray them in a loving way in this image in your mind and say to them
may you be happy may you be healthy see them and hear them saying it back to you
may you be happy may you be healthy envision someone who you've had some difficulty with
maybe this is a co-worker or a friend with a strained relationship but again
picture them in a loving way in your mind.
Put them in the most positive light that you can
and say to them, may you be happy, may you be healthy,
may you be at peace.
Envision them repeating those phrases back to you
with all of the meaning behind them.
May you be happy, may you be healthy, peace.
Envision all of the beings on this earth.
humans, animals, and everything else.
Best as you can, expand your mind to envision all of these living things in a positive light
and say to them, may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be at peace.
Now hear and envision the chorus of all of these voices, repeating those phrases back to you.
May you be happy.
be healthy. One second, just to notice how you feel, whether you've generated more love,
more kindness, more open-mindedness, more positivity, and take one final deep breath in.
Filling up with all of this love and kindness you've generated, hold, and then exhale, release.
and when you're ready
you can open your eyes
gather yourself
and come out of that
while my friend I really hope you've enjoyed
this loving kindness meditation
I hope that your heart is full
and that your mind is positive

I wish you
