 Welcome! Before you begin this meditation, please pause any tasks and activities for a moment and find a peaceful and uninterrupted space where you can focus on your own breathing and the images being suggested. This meditation is designed for you to express your gratitude and to give your blessings to yourself, so now you may find a comfortable and relaxed position, either sitting or lying down. And for this meditation, you may put your arms across your chest and hug yourself while you may use a soft cushion, blanket or anything to feel like a warm hug to begin with. Take in a nice deep breath and release it out slowly, gently close your eyes and settle yourself in a relaxed position, another deep breath in, and release it out slowly. Notice how your body moves as you breathe in and breathe out and breathe out deeper and deeper, a big deep breath in and release it out so calm, so peaceful, feel much more comfortable with the soothing rhythm of your own breathing. And you have a sense of relief from breathing easily and slowly take in a deep breath and as you release it, you let all the muscles in your head and your shoulders relax and soften another deep breath in. And as you release it, you let all the muscles in your arms relax and let go, sinking deeper and deeper, now another deep breath in. And as you release it, you let all the muscles in your chest, your stomach, your hips and all the way down through your toes relax and soften. Your whole body is fully and completely relaxed and continued to ease into a harmonious level of relaxation as you relax deeply and comfortably.
