COMPASSION MEDITATION
© 2004 Melynnique Seabrook

Beloved God, I invoke Your healing presence, the presence of Your healing angels and my own God-Self--my connection with You.

I realize that I have given over my power, the identity of who I really am, to everything outside my heart--to anger, fear, guilt, shame, possessiveness, expectation and a myriad of other emotions. I have given my power away to others, thinking that they have the answers for me. I have not understood how to be in love with myself! When I receive the love of my own inner core, feeling compassion for myself, everything outside of my center melts away into the transformation of pure love.

That love is my birthright. I need nothing else, because it is everything and fills every corner of my being. If I sit down with my self and take some time each day to open that space of love inside my heart, I give myself an opportunity to grow and to be healed. Simply counting my blessings can help to open up that space inside my heart.

I am Your child, free of guilt, shame, burdens and fear. I offer everything to You, for only You can take the mountain off my shoulders.

I gaze down at myself from above, as though I am observing myself from a greater height. I see myself with a deeper depth. It helps me to feel compassion for who I am. I invoke self-acceptance within me. I invoke compassion for myself within me. I am perfect just the way I am. I can feel the flow of love that emerges from deep within my own heart and heals all parts of me! All I need is right inside me!
