Hello, everybody, I'm your host, the gentle yoga warrior. So here's a meditation inspired by today's show. So you're going to sit up really tall, or you can sit on the floor depending on if you're able to or not. Pick one that is right for you and one that you can sustain. And as always, if you're out and about, better do this meditation somewhere quiet, where you won't be disturbed, and not when you're trying to concentrate on something.

So sit up tall, do one, and you're going to close the eyes. And as you close the eyes, you imagine yourself walking
Unknown Speaker 0:38
to the edge of the most beautiful
Unknown Speaker 0:43
ancient lake, perhaps you are now in the ancient isle of Avalon, in the mystical town of Glastonbury in the UK, or any other Lake, be it one, you've physically been to a one that's in your imagination, but just some think that you can relate to. And as you walk to the edge of the lake, it's a very calm day, there isn't a ripple in the water.
Unknown Speaker 1:18
And there's a faint mist in the air.
Unknown Speaker 1:22
But as you get closer, the sun has risen even higher in the sky.
Unknown Speaker 1:29
And it costs some beautiful light upon the lake. And as you look into the water, the water is the most crystal clear that you have ever seen this lake, and you start to slow the breath down, taking into the surroundings taken in the moment.
Unknown Speaker 1:53
And there's a natural seat right next to the edge of a lake. It can be whatever it is, in your imagination, perhaps it's some grass, perhaps it's a very comfortable large stone, something that you can sit on. And as you sit on the edge of this lake, you just watch the water, watch the crystal clear water flowing, and being with very small ripples of water. Every now and again on this extra calm day. And you look into the lake and you see your reflection. And as you look at your reflection, you whisper the words, I love you.
Unknown Speaker 2:45
I love you.
Unknown Speaker 2:50
I love you. And you continue to tell yourself that as you catch your reflection
Unknown Speaker 2:59
that you love, and honour yourself completely in the moment. And you continue and as you do that you smile. Even if you don't fully believe it yet remember, as Einstein always says Everything starts with imagination. And if you imagine it, the self love will be there. So I love you.
Unknown Speaker 3:29
And just think to the water as you reflect you are perfect, perfect in every way. You are alive, you are unique, yet you are part of a greater, greater, plan a greater energy and just continue and say I love you. I love me.
Unknown Speaker 4:00
I love myself, I love you. And the reason you say I love you and talk about yourself in third person is because it's your highest self telling yourself that you love yourself
Unknown Speaker 4:23
and just for a moment just feel how it feels to be held by the love of self acceptance.
Unknown Speaker 4:36
Then very calmly, say thank you to yourself, thank you to your lake. And then just start to come back into the room. Take some slow calm deep breaths in and out through the nostrils and go for dear one, you wonderful being
Unknown Speaker 4:58
and remember there's many many
