Here’s a Sample of the “Intention of Self-Compassion” Guided Meditation Script:
Lots of us generally tend towards perfectionism.
Even in meditation, we attempt to “get it right”. We may be hard on ourselves for not having the experience or reaching the final result that we predict we must always be having.
Something to recollect with regards to meditation is that this: much more vital than final result is our intention. Having the intention to be present with what’s, and with what we’re experiencing within the moment, is how we unlock the benefit to be discovered in meditation.
We are going to at all times get distracted. We are going to at all times have days when it’s much harder to not go to sleep. We may also have days when it’s very difficult to be kind to ourselves. That’s why intention is so vital in self-compassion meditation. Even when self-kindness doesn’t come naturally or easily, our intention provides us with a foundation.
This practice could be used by itself or as an introductory meditation to a different self-compassion meditation or exercise.
So, if you happen to can, sit upright with a protracted back, comfortably in a chair or on the ground. Lying down is perfectly okay too if this appears like what your body needs.
If it feels right, close your eyes for this practice. If it doesn’t, you’ll be able to allow your gaze to be soft with a downward focus.
Take a protracted, slow, deep breath in through your nose… and permit your body to release an exhale through your mouth.
Another time, and with the exhale, see if you happen to can notice anywhere in your body where you may be contracting… and permit those places to melt as feels comfortable and protected.
Another deep breath, as if you happen to were respiratory into your heart, your stomach and all of the method to your legs… after which release as you exhale.
