LOVE Meditation

Today’s process will be a practice in loving yourself. Start with your heart on your eyes closed in a comfortable seated position. This is simply because you want to be awake for the majority of this meditation and lying may cause you to fall asleep.

Place your right hand over the center of your chest where your heart is located. Place your left palm facing upward, resting on your lap. Close your eyes and feel the breath move down into your belly as you inhale. As you exhale, feel the belly fall and the rib cage simply depress. After 5-10 breaths, take your attention to where your right hand is on your heart. Focus on the warmth you feel between your hand and your chest. This is going to be your place of focus for the remainder of the meditation.

As you breath, feel the connection between your hand and heart. Affirm to yourself, “my heart is the core of my physical body and the reminder of who I am and why I am here.” This will remain your affirmation. Go as deeply as you wish with this meditation, allowing your hand to almost feel as if it is on fire with the love expressed from your heart. You can remove your hand as soon as you feel that you are finished, do not put a time limit on this meditation, it could be 2 minutes, it could be 20…just go with it. ❤

Daily Affirmation:

“You’ve been through a lot, and you’ve made it through all of it. Don’t let the challenges you’ve gone through disappoint the miracles that await you. Let it go”

Mental Workout of the Day:

Alternate Nostril Breathing

Alternate nostril breathing is a great way to balance the mind and body. Personally, as a result of doing 5-8 minutes per day of alternate nostril breathing, I feel I have more balance mentally and am much more calm throughout the day.

Today’s workout will be to do 9-20 cycles of alternate nostril breathing followed by 5-10 minutes of meditation. One cycle is as follows:

1. Sit comfortably, preferably with the spine upright, either in a chair or in a cross-legged position.
2. Place the right index and middle finger between the eyebrows, while the left hand faces upward resting on your thigh.
3. Press the right thumb down on the right nostril and exhale though the left nostril.
4. Inhale through the left nostril and then press the right ring finger on the left nostril exhaling through the right nostril.
5. Inhale through the right nostril, then pressing the thumb against the right nostril exhaling through the left nostril.
6. You have completed one cycle of alternate nostril breathing.

Remember that the breaths should be natural and not forced. After you have completed as many rounds as you feel comfortable with, sit in meditation for 5-10 minutes.

Daily Affirmation:

“Your body is a sacred temple. Forsaking your body is like telling the sunset it is not beautiful enough because it lacks a certain glow. Love your body for all that it is…for it is perfect as the Heavenly Spirit is perfect.”

Mental Workout of the Day:

What I Like…

Most days we find ourselves talking to others, or even engaging in self-talk, about what it is we do not like. Are minds are constantly finding ways to engage in our problems and after enough time, we forget what it is we even enjoy doing. For today’s mental exercise we will reverse that process…

Grab a piece of paper and expect to write for roughly 10 minutes. At the top of the paper write, “Things I Like…” and begin. Write down whatever it is you like. This doesn’t have to be anything in particular or something where you are over thinking. Simply write down things that you like. It could be “I like having sex…I like clouds…I like going in the sun.” Just start writing things you like. After a few minutes of this you should find yourself feeling better and recognizing why you like those things. Feel free to write down why you like each thing as well if it feels like it could also be fun. Do this until the paper is full of things you like or until you feel uplifted and more joyful.

Daily Affirmation:

“We came for fun, we came for expansion, we came for experience. Each situation is a reminder of your Divinity, of your connection with Spirit.”
