5 Minute Exercise To Help You Feel More Love

 

If you are open to receiving more love in your life, here’s a simple exercise you can do in less than 5 mins.

STEP 1: Find a comfortable and quiet place and gently close your eyes.

STEP 2: Take 3 deep breaths. The slower the better.

STEP 3: When you feel a bit more present or grounded, repeat the following affirmations 3-5 times each.

Pro Tip: Instead of rushing through, go slowly. See if you can actually bring your attention to each respective body part (e.g. eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, heart for feeling).

AFFIRMATIONS

I am open to SEEING love all around me.

I am open to HEARING love all around me.

I am open to FEELING love all around me.

I am open to BEING love.

STEP 4: Continue taking deep breaths. With each new breath, imagine your eyes, ears and heart slowly opening to receive more love.

STEP 5: If you are open to it, place one hand on your chest and give your heart a hug.

STEP 6: When you are ready, slowly open your eyes and notice if anything looks, sounds, feels different. Even a 1% difference can make a *big* impact.

For anyone interested in going deeper, I will be guiding a free meditation tomorrow morning at www.ArtistMorning.com on this exact theme.

We will have a 20 minute meditation and then 20 mins of private personal journaling, all done through Zoom.

It starts at 9AM (EDT) and if you can’t make it, there will be a replay for anyone who signs up.

It’s totally free and everyone is welcome.

Big love,
