Life Affirming Meditation

Nicola shared this Positive Affirmations meditation at Bective in March 2019

Let’s begin with a full body scan and release any tension that’s lingering in certain areas of our bodies.

Start by getting comfortable, let’s take some deep breaths and close your eyes.

Relax into the quietness of the room and imagine yourself in your favourite outdoors place.

It’s beautiful there and the sun is shining down at the perfect temperature, bathing you in its warm white light. Beginning at the top of your crown and gradually moving down your face, imagine the warmth of the light shining on you, filling you with positive relaxing energy.

You feel your face relax, your eyes, your cheeks, your jaw. If you like, it can be nice to relax your jaw and open your mouth slightly as you exhale.

Continue to breathe in and breathe out and just let your thoughts come and go.

If a thought lingers, its ok, give it some attention, then let it go and gently return to your breathing.

Feel your mind relax as you become more and more present.

Breathe in through your nose. Breathe out through your mouth.

All the tension of the day and the week, is leaving your body now as the light moves from your head and face, to your neck and down into your shoulders.

It’s so comforting, like a soft hug and you feel safe and full of joy in your favourite place.

Breathe in relaxation and breathe out tension, working your way from your crown to your toes.

Let the warm light travel down from your shoulders, through your torso, your stomach and down your back, warming you as it cleanses you of any negative energy you no longer need or any stress you’ve been carrying around with you these past few days.

Moving down through your hips, into your thighs and through your knees, you are so relaxed now. Your feet have you grounded to the earth.

As you release the last of the bodies tension from your feet back into the ground, it is magically transformed into good energy, and you are absorbing positive energy back up through your feet. It’s as if mother earth is the most amazing filter, creating new energy for you to draw upon whenever you need it.

You are now fully relaxed and totally safe.

Continue to breathe in and breathe out and just let your thoughts come and go.

Silence for 6-7 mins.

--- oOo ---

And now, let’s begin our Life Affirming Meditation.

Just let the words wash over you and absorb the positive energy that you feel.

Some words and sentences may resonate with you more than others. If you wish, you can repeat some of them in your mind as we go along.

Just listen and relax and believe in the power of positive thoughts to uplift your mood, and think about the collective effect of positivity on the universe.

Believe in your own powers of positivity, as if each statement is being said by you, like a mantra.

And now, for real or in your minds eye, place your hands on your heart and I say;

"I love you. I love you.

You’re doing a great job so far. Keep going. You’ll be fine.

I love you."

And now that we are full of light and love for ourselves … we are just going to be still and thankful for a few moments, and enjoy a little silence while we continue to breathe.

--- oOo ---

Very gently, bring your awareness back to your breathing, in and out, in and out.

Notice the natural movement of your chest and tummy as you breathe. Bring your attention to your toes, to your fingers, to your shoulders … have a little stretch, rotate your ankles, flex your fingers.

Gradually, let yourself become aware of the room again, of all the sounds close by and of friends around you.

And when you feel ready to, you can open your eyes.
