A meditation for self-love

If you are finding that you need communion with your inner being, with that part of you that is pure bright light, or you are feeling a little lost or unloved, or just want to embrace your joy, here's a meditative, self-affirming practice I LOVE: 

Have access to the song below, Kim Taylor's "Save My Life." Turn the volume very loud. Sit in easy pose (legs crossed, comfortably). If you can, light a candle and sit in front of a mirror. Place one hand on your knee, and one gently over your beating heart, or both hands over your heart. Take deep breaths as you look yourself in the eyes. Look into your beautiful eyes. Do you see yourself? Do you see your beautiful soul? The real, eternal you? Turn on the song. Close your eyes, and listen to the words and hear them in your mind as though they are your inner being speaking to yourself. Say them to yourself in your mind along with the song. Keep breathing deeply. The words are the real you, the love and light within you, the source that wants all things good for you, the source that knows that you are perfect just as you are. Let yourself feel whatever comes up, and allow yourself to feel the love for yourself that is your birthright. When the song ends, put it on repeat if you wish, and when you are ready, open your eyes and say, "I love you. I am safe. I am loved, and I'm going to love you the way you are meant to be loved." xox
