An Intention Meditation Script for Self-Compassion

Many of us tend towards perfectionism.

Even in meditation, we attempt to “get it right”. We is perhaps hard on ourselves for not having the experience or reaching the final result that we expect we must be having.

Something to recollect in the case of 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 convenience to be discovered in meditation.

We will all the time get distracted. We will all the time have days when it’s much harder to not go to sleep. We will even 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, in the event you can, sit upright with an extended 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 may allow your gaze to be soft with a downward focus.

Take an extended, slow, deep breath in through your nose… and permit your body to release an exhale through your mouth.

One more time, and with the exhale, see in the event you can notice anywhere in your body where you is perhaps contracting… and permit those places to melt as feels comfortable and secure.

One more deep breath, as in the event you were respiration into your heart, your stomach and all of the option to your legs… after which release as you exhale.
