A Moment of Breath, Love, and Compassion 💖🌿
Take a few soft breaths, allowing your body to settle into stillness. With each inhale, invite calm; with each exhale, release any tension. Let yourself arrive fully in this moment.
Now, bring to mind someone who has been deeply kind to you—perhaps a mentor, a parent, a sibling, or even your beloved dog or cat. Someone who has offered you unconditional love and warmth.
- Feel their kindness—how have they supported you?
- Recall a moment when you felt truly seen, heard, or cared for.
- Let this love infuse your heart, filling you with gratitude and warmth.
Keeping this feeling alive in your heart and mind, now gently bring awareness to someone who is struggling. It could be a friend, a colleague, or even a stranger.
As you hold them in your thoughts, rest in the felt-sense of the following phrases:
💙 May the power of loving-kindness sustain you.
💙 May love and kindness permeate your body, heart, and mind.
💙 May you be peaceful in body, heart, and mind.
💙 May you be filled with loving-kindness for others and yourself.
Allow these words to flow naturally, as if sending them on a gentle breeze toward the person in need. Notice any shifts in your heart—openness, tenderness, or simply the quiet presence of compassion.
Sit with this experience for as long as you like, letting love and kindness fill your heart. 🌿✨
