On this walk, reconnect with the love and kindness within you.
Your body remembers these feelings, so as you relax, allow
them to arise and each time you practice, it becomes easier to
return to this place. Begin by bringing your attention
to your feet and focus on the rhythm of your
steps as you allow your body to settle.
Notice as each foot makes contact with the ground
and if your mind wanders, come back to your feet.
Each step a little more relaxed and you can use your out breath
to release and let go of any tension.
Just breathing out and letting go.
Now bring your attention to your chest and breathe into your
heart space connecting with your body.
Breathe in and imagine filling your chest with a pure energy
from the space around you, or maybe even from something
greater than you, with each breath filling your
heart with a sense of peace. Now set an intention to offer
your words from this place of love,
and you can begin with you simply bringing yourself to mind
just as you are, and allowing the words that follow and your
feelings to radiate through your body as you walk.
May I be well, may I be happy, may I be peaceful, may I be
loved. And again, may I be well, may I
be happy, May I be peaceful, may I be loved.
Allow these words to be felt in your heart space as you continue
to walk. Now, as you stay in your heart
with those peaceful feelings of love and kindness, bring to mind
someone you love. Let yourself really feel them
here. And as you connect with your
feelings, repeat. May you be well, may you be
happy, may you be peaceful, may you be loved.
And again, may you be well, may you be happy, may you be
peaceful, may you be loved and breathe out and just gently let
them go in your mind. And now bring someone neutral
into your awareness, someone you know without strong feelings.
Either way, just bring them to mind and you can repeat.
May you be well, may you be happy, may you be peaceful.
May you be loved. And again, may you be well, may
you be happy, may you be peaceful, may you be loved and
just allow them to fade in your mind.
Now allow someone you find a little difficult to come to mind
as you offer these words. May you be well, may you be
happy, may you be peaceful, may you be loved.
And again, may you be well, May you be happy, may you be
peaceful, may you be loved and just let them go.
And now allow your awareness to include all beings, letting your
feelings emanate from your heart into the world around you.
As you repeat, may all beings be well, may all beings be happy,
may all beings be peaceful, May all beings be loved.
And again, may all beings be well, May all beings be happy,
May all beings be peaceful, may all beings be loved.
And breathing out, just allowing yourself to relax.
And each time you practice, you are becoming someone who can
return to love and kindness more easily.
