I just want to say thank you. The human mind is so strange. Without realizing it, I had been preparing myself for self-love meditation for about 3 years by listening to grounding meditation music. Before priming myself, I had an aversion to anything promoting self love. I thought the concept was stupid. One day, about 3 months ago, I prayed to God that if I was living my life wrong in anyway just let me know and I'd fix it. He led me down a path to this meditation, and it made a profound difference in me. My mother and sister had noticed such a difference in me that they admitted that they had been avoiding me all my life because of my bad attitude. Honestly, I hadn't realized that I was that bad. I had been abused as a child and I have been struggling with self-love ever since. What they said, although they didn't mean it as something hurtful, almost caused a relapse. I just couldn't stop thinking about how bad I must have been and how hard I have tried to be a decent person. The funny thing is, is the 'me' they liked after meditation was just effortless and before that I tried so hard. And, now I found myself hating myself again. I was so worried I'd lose everything I had accomplished. Last night, I thought I couldn't find your meditation, and all the others were frustrating for various reasons. I thought about posting on other people's videos "where is the good self-love video, the one with the lady with a beautiful voice that sounds like Cersei Lannister but in a good way?" By the time I found yours I knew that I was too frazzled to do it. But, this morning, your beautiful meditation brought me back. I know that the love's within me, but sometimes we just need someone else to remind us of this.
It's amazing how many meditations we can go through before finding a true gem. It's not one with millions of hits, just one with an abundance of precious gifts for the few fortunate enough to be guided here. Thanks for sharing the love Naomi! Be blessed and thrive.
Using this guided meditation made me feel the greatest sense of loving kindness and gratitude towards myself that I have ever felt! Thank you so much for this! Xxx
Thank you for this beautiful meditation! I loved that it really connected me to my body and to my heart. Exactly what I need right now. Great guidance and imagery throughout. Your voice is very calming and soothing, too. Namaste!
Thanks Naomi :) I really appreciated amongst other things the specific choice of words - it was intuitive to the way our mind and thoughts can be and also beautifully put. Will be listening to this one again :)
