A guided meditation that asks you to listen to what your heart needs right now. It walks through possible needs like safety, solitude, and warmth, then offers compassionate statements to repeat to yourself as you settle into calm.
Gently ask yourself. Ask your heart, what is it that you need right now? What is it that you need at this time of your life, this week, this day? Recognizing that the one that is asking that question is the essential you. The essential you is the one that takes tremendous, unending interest in your well being. See if you can find that place inside you right now that wants to ask, how am I doing? What is it that I need? How can I best take care of myself? What do I need to pay attention to? And as you're asking these questions, just let them relate to the dropped in real life that you're in right now, visualize your environment, the people that are in your environment. And what is it that you most would need to be more fulfilled, more satisfied, more inspired. It could be needs like communication, safety, independence, solitude, warmth, empathy, tenderness. But only you can know, because you are your own source. And who is possibly going to know the answer to what your needs are more than you? So allow yourself to become more and more familiar that you are the essential one that can take an interest in your own needs. And even if you can't discover what they are, you can perpetually take that interest and patiently wait until they reveal themselves to you. Recognizing that you may hear phrases like independence, I embrace you as you are so important to me right now. Tenderness, I want to go deeper and deeper into your quality so my heart can melt. Or perhaps you would say I am focusing my direct attention on being courageous even while I'm experiencing fear. Or perhaps especially when I'm experiencing fear or while you're feeling anxious. You might ask for as much ease as possible. When you're confused, you may ask to find clarity and awareness. And as you are feeling empty, you might be wishing for as much fulfillment as possibly can be found. No matter what state you find yourself in, you always can be recognizing yourself as the source of asking yourself, what is it that you need? Relish in the enjoyment, in the recognition that you are the one that can ask yourself, what is it that I need? You are that gentleness. You are that that awareness. You are that kindness. You are that intelligence. And may you be grateful that you have come closer and closer to your true nature and just relax into it as much as possible.
