Relax Your Body and Your Breath<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and direct your attention inward. <strong>Concentrate entirely on your breathing<\/strong> and observe for a while how your breath calmly and evenly flows in and out through your nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try to relax, letting all your bones, muscles, and joints loosen. Your entire body can now <strong>completely relax and let go<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>2. Direct Your Attention to Your Heart<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then place one hand on your heart area and direct your attention there. Feel your own heartbeat, how it beats rhythmically and supplies your body with fresh blood. <strong>Feel into your heart<\/strong>, breathe in and out relaxed, and connect completely with your own heart energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>3. Visualize a Healing Light<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine <strong>a beautiful, radiant bright light spreading from your heart into all cells of your body<\/strong>. Feel how warm your heart becomes and how the light continues to spread within you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>4.

Can you say these words with conviction? Can you fully accept this truth?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Feel into your body<\/strong> and sense if there are any resistances or doubts within you. What feelings arise? What prevents you from accepting this truth? Are there perhaps old hurts and disappointments that still influence you?   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel into your heart. You are worthy of being loved \u2013 on all levels!

Let Go of Resistance and Open Your Heart<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Observe your breathing and <strong>with each inhale, take in the resistance; with the next exhale, let go of a little bit of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Repeat this breathing technique a few times and feel the sense of relief. If you have now let go of the obstacle or doubt to some extent, return your attention to your heart area and say to yourself again a few times: <em>&#8220;I am lovable.&#8221;<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, say it in your thoughts, then repeat it aloud. Speak the words with full conviction from your heart. Open your heart to self-love.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>7. Enjoy the Feeling of Happiness and Feel Within<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel the <strong>feeling of happiness<\/strong> that increasingly settles within you. From your heart, it radiates into all areas of your body. Your entire body rejoices; you were just waiting to recognize this truth. Let a smile arise from your heart and send it through your entire body, into every tiny cell.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deep in the center of your being, an infinite wellspring of love bubbles. Allow this love to well up to the surface. Let it fill your entire heart, your body and your thoughts, your consciousness and innermost being. Open your heart wide. Let the streams of radiant light and love flow.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Remain in this feeling of happiness for a while longer and enjoy it.<\/strong> Be glad that you have opened yourself to love.
