Leading with Love
When we love ourselves intensely, we are giving everyone around us permission to do the same.
This meditation is about loving the moment you're in and loving yourself so intensely that this moment feels amazing.
Not only are we raising our own personal vibration, we are helping everybody around us raise their personal vibration too, so that everyone gets to have this beautiful experience.

Introduction
Welcome to Reiki meditation with Hilary, me. Today we're going to do a meditation all around leading with love and not just being love or trying to express love, but loving ourselves, loving the experience that we're in.
I have crazy hair again because this morning my daughter actually called me sobbing on her way to school.
She's 15 and she takes the city bus to school. She missed the bus and she left her breakfast on the table at her dad's house. All of the things went wrong this morning so she called me sobbing.
We talked about all of the things that we loved about the last few days so that this moment maybe didn't feel so horrible or so upsetting.
I thought that really tied in today to our meditation because it's all about loving the moment you're in and loving yourself so intensely that this moment feels amazing, and in this moment when we love ourselves so intensely, we are giving everyone around us permission to do the same.
Not only are we raising our own personal vibration, we are helping everybody around us raise their personal vibration too, so that everyone gets to have this beautiful experience.
Let's not forget that - Infinite love brings strength, power, whatever we want, creativity, brings infinite opportunities into our awareness.
So it's all about the love. It's all about starting with the love. So that's what we're going to do today in our meditation.
For those who don't yet know me, my name is Hilary Wolfe and I am a Reiki master teacher, and I am a Make-Your-Own-Magic Coach. We play with owning our superpowers.
Ta da! Superpowers. We play with owning our superpowers and owning who we get to be in each moment. Noticing where we feel that in the body. How do we get in touch with that?
I love to lead meditations as part of my coaching. So that we can get in touch with who we get to be in every moment.
We get to be in touch with our superpower selves. We get to play with leading with love. So, let's get started.
Meditation Begins
For those of you who have not yet meditated with me, just get comfy. There is no wrong way to meditate.
I like to sit in a chair so that I can be seated and not fall asleep. I like to have my hands open because neurologically, that tells our body there's nowhere to go and we are safe in this situation.
Go ahead and get comfy wherever works for you. There's no wrong way to do it.
Let's go ahead and melt wherever we are so that we can tap into leading with love.
We're gonna start with a 10-count breath. Breathing in with the 1.
Leading in with the 1, out with the 2, and so on for a count of 10. So, breathing in with the 1, and out with the 2, in with the 3, out with the 4, in with the 5, out with the 6, in with the 7, out with the 8, last one, in with the 9, and out with the 10.
In this space, I invite you to take up your normal natural breathing rhythm and as you do, just notice that breath.
As you take your breaths in, Notice what you're feeling within your body. Where is that air going?
Notice your chest. Notice the path that that air is taking. As you breathe in, and exhale, I invite you to focus on your heartbeat.
Just notice it. No judgment.
And in this space where you're feeling your heartbeat, we're going to focus on expanding that feeling, that physical sensation.
Directing that focus and that observation to the chest area, to the heart chakra, I invite you to think of a light, a tiny light, like a lightning bug, that's sitting within this heart space.
As we're still settling into the meditation, I invite you to turn your focus to this space and allow any other thoughts, observations or judgments to just flow through the body.
Gently continue to turn your focus to this space and as you do, I invite you to breathe in,
“I am love. I am loved. I am actually cherished. And I love this experience.
I love this body. I love this unique being who is me.”
Breathing that into this chest space, this heart chakra - making it true. As we breathe in these affirmations, I invite you to expand your lightning bug of a light.
Expand it through your entire chest. Let it reach your shoulders, move through your arms, and expand far enough that it warms your entire body.
Now let's move that light that's becoming brighter outside of our physical body.
Let's give ourselves a glow, knowing that this light that we are expanding beyond our body is love. It is our love for ourselves. It is our love for this experience. It is the foundation of our beings.
Moving this out just beyond our body. Acknowledging its expansion and its movement and then moving it into this entire room.
The space that you're in, allowing it to completely fill this room and then continuing to expand this building that you're in.
This light is hitting every corner of the space that you're in. Then expanding that further. Out to the street. Out to the neighborhood.
Gaining momentum in your expansion out to the city. And even out to the entire state. Your love and your light is felt by everyone in your entire state and now moving further across the country, expanding that light and that love, acknowledging that you have the ability to spread your love across an entire country.
Now let's move across the oceans. And allowing that love. To move around the entire planet. As you expand that light and that love, notice where you're feeling it expand within the body.
And let's move it even further than just this planet. Let's move it out into the cosmos. Into the ethos. Expanding outward from the planet, so that now the planet has a glow if you were to look at it from space knowing that that's all you.
And from this space, in space, I invite you to take a look around and notice what infinity looks like. Because out here, space goes on infinitely.
What would it feel like for you to expand that light and that love infinitely? Not just around the planet, not just into the nearest space, but infinitely.
What does that look like for you? If you look ahead of you, what does infinity look like? If you look below you, what does infinity look like? Above you? Behind you?
You have the ability to continue to expand this light and this love infinitely around you.
So let's breathe that in, in this space. Now from here, let's come back to the planet. Although we're coming back, let's leave this light and this energy out there. While we bring our consciousness back to the planet.
Back to the country.Back to the state. Back to your neighborhood. Back to the space around you and back to the body.
Noticing again that space in our body where we have expanded this light and this love.
Coming back and noticing how powerful we really are for the ability to expand this love infinitely. Thanking the body for all it can do and all that it does.
Breathing in. I love you. I love this experience. There's always a silver lining and that is the universe reminding us that we are cherished and we are supported.
So finally taking in three deep cleansing breaths, solidifying that we are loved.
We are loved. We are powerful because of this love. And we are absolutely cherished.
So breathing in for the first breath and exhale, in for the second, exhale and last one in for the third and exhale.
Whenever you're ready, go ahead and come back into this space. Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes. Come back without judgment. And just know that you are love and you get to create this beautiful experience. You get to affect the people around you because you are love.
I love you all. Have a beautiful rest of your day.
And I will see you next time.
