This is Rasa. Welcome to your guided meditation.
Find yourself in a comfortable position and allow your eyelids to fall heavy.
Take a moment to feel and notice both sit bones pressing evenly into the floor/the mat/the
cushion underneath you. Supporting you. Holding you.
On your next breath in, draw your awareness from your sit bones all the way up your back body
to the very top of your head. Your crown.
As you breathe out, feel your attention migrate downwards
from the crown of your head to the sit bones resting gently on the earth.
Surrender more of your body weight to the surface underneath you.
Feel yourself settle.
Continue to follow the soft wave
of the breath - up and down the length of your spine for a few moments.
Sit bones to crown.
Crown to the base of the spine.
Continue to breathe slowly and effortlessly as you shift your awareness
from your back body to the dark space behind your closed eyelids.
Bring to your minds eye the visualization of two roses. Side by side.
Notice the colour of these roses.
Maybe the petals are the crimson red of sensual love.
Maybe the petals are dove white; embodying purity. Lightness
See these two roses clearly. Side-by-side behind your closed eye lids.
Visualize yourself taking one of these roses tenderly in the palm of your hand
and offering it, with kindness, as a gift to your heart.
See the rose fill up the space in and around your heart-centre. The petals blossoming out
and open to encompass all of the parts and pieces of your chest.
See the flourishing rose as a reminder to continue to love yourself
deeply with an all-encompassing heart. A heart of integrity. A heart of wholeness.
As you bestow yourself this exquisite rose, you begin to bring to your minds eye
the unique qualities that make up who you are. Your tenderness.
Your honesty.
Your capacity to relate and connect with others: those whom
know you well and those of which you haven’t yet met.
Think about the warmth of your smile.
The softness of your touch.
The manner in which you can make those around you
feel more comfortable with nothing more and nothing less than your presence.
And now recall an instance when you felt the most yourself.
Doing something that completely immersed every part of who you are.
Dancing. Singing.
Spending time alongside someone you deeply care for.
A moment in time when you felt simultaneously connected to your heart and the world around you.
Feel that pure part of you.
This is that innate goodness that always lives inside you.
Your inner beauty.
Feel that.
Notice that.
Remind yourself of what a blessing you are to this world.
Feel what a blessing you are to yourself.
And, with this feeling of graciousness in your heart, begin to acknowledge
what a blessing you are to your partner.
This person who already knows you on a soul level. Who’s making there way to you right now.
Now go ahead and visualize the second rose.
See the intricate details of each and every petal.
Notice its delicacy. Its uniqueness.
This second rose is a symbol of your heartfelt intention
to welcome a healthy, loving partnership into your life.
Feel your desire to love and be loved.
Feel your worthiness to love and be loved.
Commend yourself for your bravery in wishing to connect with another human so deeply.
Your courage to love yourself and another.
To heal yourself and another.
To support yourself and another.
Believe yourself worthy of this partnership. The type of relationship that allows you to learn.
Grow. Flourish.
A bond that nurtures and supports you in both your brightest and darkest moments.
Breath in now this parallel intention.
See the dual roses merging at the centre of your heart.
These twin flowers as a commitment to love yourself fully whilst, at the same time,
welcoming in the love of your sacred partner.
Breathe in the purity of these intentions. And surrender to the notion that the universe
is guiding you at every moment on a path towards abiding self-love and a loving relationship.
Leading you towards a person who treasures you. Accepts you.
Cherishes you in all the ways in which you absolutely deserve to be cherished.
Visualize one last time the image of these two roses at your heart space.
Set an intention to come back to this image whenever you require a reminder
of your pure and deep wish to attract sacred love into your life.
Begin to deepen your breath.
Exaggerating your inhales and exhales to feel the rise and fall of your belly.
The rise and fall of your chest.
Breathing gentle aliveness back into every muscle.
Every tendon. Every cell that makes up who you are.
Begin to slowly welcome movement back into your fingers and your toes.
Softly releasing your neck side to side.
Rolling your shoulders back tenderly to feel a newfound openness in your chest.
And, when you feel ready - slowly, slowly floating your eyelids open.
Returning back to this space.
Thank you for joining me in this sweet meditation. And until next time.
