Hello and welcome to thismeditation about feeling enough

00:11

if you've been doubtingyourself or feeling unworthy.

00:15

This is a great meditation for you today.

00:20

To begin this meditation,

00:22

you are welcome to find acomfortable position for yourself.

00:26

Either sitting up or lying down.

00:36

You might like to do a bigstretch and then start to

00:40

settle into a gentle stillness.

00:50

Rest your hands whereverthey feel most comfortable.

00:56

And if your eyes are open,

00:59

you can softly blink them closed.

01:05

Just giving yourself a fewmoments to let your body and mind

01:10

gradually start to calm down.

01:19

Take a few deep breaths now,

01:22

feeling your chest and diaphragmgently expanding as you

01:27

inhale

01:29

and letting each exhale go in a long,

01:33

smooth sigh.

02:19

Now, at the end of eachexhale, notice the short,

02:23

natural pause beforeyour next inhale begins.

02:29

This pause between your exhale andinhale might be just a second or too

02:34

long. You don't need to force it.

02:38

Just notice that moment of stillness.

03:53

Continue breathing thisway a few more times,

03:57

taking nice deep breaths in long,

04:01

smooth exhales

04:05

and savoring that short.

04:06

Pause the moment of stillnessbefore you start each

04:11

new inhale.

05:22

Now focus your attentionon the following words.

05:27

I am enough just as I am.

05:33

I am enough, just as I am.

05:40

If your mind starts to wanderor even argue, that's okay.

05:45

Just take another deep breath andrefocus your attention on those

05:50

words.

05:52

I am enough just as I am,

05:57

continue to repeat thesewords in your mind.

07:11

You might even start to feel themeaning of those words sinking in.

07:18

I am enough. Just as I am

08:12

moving your attention to a new phrase now,

08:16

observing the words, I am worthy of love.

08:22

I am worthy of love.

08:29

Taking some time to focus on thosewords and perhaps feeling the

08:34

meaning of those words sinking in,

09:36

letting go of those words andfocusing on one more phrase,

09:41

I am unique and the world needs me.

09:47

I am unique and the world needs me.

11:15

You are welcome to letgo of those words. Now,

11:20

it can be easy sometimes to fall intothe habit of comparing ourselves to

11:25

others. It's often a verynatural human thing to do.

11:30

However,

11:31

you can also choose to remindyourself that you are enough

11:36

just as you are,

11:39

that you are worthy of love

11:43

And that you are uniqueand the world needs you.

11:50

Take a few deep breaths,

11:53

letting go of anything youdon't need in this moment.

12:08

For the next minute or so,

12:11

you are welcome to let yourmind do whatever it wants to do.

12:16

It can wander, it might rest.

12:20

It might jump around.

12:23

Simply observe your mind without judgment.

13:50

Gently bring your attentionback to the present moment.

13:57

You might like to wiggleyour fingers and toes,

14:03

perhaps rolling your shoulders

14:09

or turning your head from side to side.

14:16

Whenever you are ready, you cansoftly blink your eyes back open.

14:24

Well done for taking the time to dothis meditation about feeling enough.

14:30

I hope you have a wonderful day.
