Thank you for meditating with me today! 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. Written + Performed by: Jessica Haessly

Thank you for meditating with me today! Meditation Script: As you settle into a comfortable position, bring to mind either the last time you said no to something you genuinely didn’t want to do or the last time you said yes to something you genuinely did want to do. Consider your ability to gate keep your own life. Gate keeping your life means maintaining your ability to function well—to think, make decisions, regulate your emotions, and manage stress—by limiting your time in spaces where and with people who deplete your energy without restoring it back, and spending as much time as you can in spaces where and with people who restore your energy and to whom you feel good about giving your time, energy, and support. Maintaining boundaries allows us to maintain the energy we need to do our work, to give back to others, and to keep a healthy relationship with ourselves and with others. Notice any tension or ease that arises at the mention of boundaries. Whatever your sensations or relationship to maintaining healthy boundaries, allow yourself a deep breath in, deep breath out. Bring attention to your mental and emotional space, aware of the thoughts that arrive and emotions that come as you consider the boundaries you have or wish to create. Say to yourself, “I am worthy of activity that fills me with joy and peace. I am worthy of social interactions that fill me with joy and peace. I am worthy of environments that fill me with joy and peace.” Deep breath in, deep breath out. Notice your physical, mental, and emotional space. Aware of any tension, busyness of mind, or heaviness of emotion, breathe. Aware of any ease, calmness of mind, lightness of emotion, breathe. Say to yourself, “I am worthy of activity that fills me with joy and peace. I am worthy of social interactions that fill me with joy and peace. I am worthy of environments that fill me with joy and peace.” Deep breath in, deep breath out. Notice tension and ease in the body, busyness or calmness of mind, heaviness or lightness of emotion. Once more, say to yourself, “I am worthy of activity that fills me with joy and peace, I am worthy of social interactions that fill me with joy and peace. I am worthy of environments that fill me with joy and peace.” Deep breath in, deep breath out. Rest here, or move into the rest of your day, making one small step toward creating or maintaining boundaries in one area of your life. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.

Thank you for meditating with me today! Meditation Script: Today, I invite you to take a moment to journal about your core values. Core values are those places where you spend much of your time and energy. For example, one of my core values is health and wellness. I spend a lot of time in that space, working on my own health and wellness as well as encouraging others to live healthy and well. Take a moment here to write down what you value according to where you spend much of your time. Pause this meditation if you need more time to write. Now, consider how your values align with your actions. Knowing that there is no perfect, focus on one action you do consistently that aligns with one of your values. Take a moment to journal about this activity or behavior, bringing to mind your five senses and any ways in which sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, or touch are included in this behavior or activity. Pause this meditation if you need more time to write. Now, sitting or lying comfortably, eyes open or closed, find a few deep breaths in and out through your nose. Bring to mind one of your core values. Say to yourself out loud or in your mind, “I value [insert value].” Then bringing to mind one of your behaviors or activities that exemplifies that value, say to yourself, “I show that I value [insert value] by [insert behavior or activity].” Twice more, with an option to choose a different value and action or stay with one, “I value___. I show that I value___ by ___. I value___. I show that I value___ by___.” Deep breath in, deep breath out. Relax your body. Relax your mind. Just breathe. Rest here, or move into the rest of your day, focused on aligning your actions with your values. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace. Written + Performed by: Jessica Haessly

Thank you for meditating with me today! Meditation Script: Today, I invite you to affirm your intrinsic value and worth with a few positive affirmations. You can practice these affirmations wherever you are, seated, standing, lying down, while walking, or while standing in front of a mirror. First, observe your environment. Notice what’s around you, bringing your attention to the energy of the environment you’re in. Does your body feel heavy or light, tense or relaxed. Notice the air on your skin, the support beneath you, however you are positioned and whether you are still or in motion. Notice what you see, hear, and smell. Bring attention to any taste on your tongue. Now, whether your eyes are open or closed, whether you’re in stillness or motion, begin to repeat to yourself positive statements affirming your value and worth in this moment: “I am enough. I belong here now. I accept my whole self. I am worthy of love. I hold value by simply being. I am loveable. I am loving. I am love. I am.” Deep breath in, deep breath out. Bringing awareness to your physical, mental, and emotional space, notice any value judgments that come up concerning your physical, mental, and emotional space. Allow yourself to be exactly as you are in this moment, letting go of those value judgments. Again, repeat to yourself the following affirmations: “I am enough. I belong here now. I accept my whole self. I am worthy of love. I hold value by simply being. I am loveable. I am loving. I am love. I am.” Deep breath in, deep breath out. Allow yourself to rest for a moment in silence. Once more, aware of how you feel in this moment, repeat to yourself: “I am enough. I belong here now. I accept my whole self. I am worthy of love. I hold value by simply being. I am loveable. I am loving. I am love. I am.” Deep breath in, deep breath out. Rest here or move into the next part of your day embracing your intrinsic value and worth.

Move into the next portion of your day, open to what is true, listening deeply, and resting in moments of silence. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace. Written + Performed by: Jessica Haessly
