“Love ”
You are loved!
I’m going to tell you a story tonight. Get
comfortable, close your eyes, and imagine that
you’re actually inside the story.
Take in a deep breath, and when you let it out,
feel everything around you getting calmer and
quieter. Take in another long breath, release it
slowly, and feel even calmer still. As you continue to breathe deeply and calmly, notice that
the only thing you want to pay attention to is
my soothing voice.
Now imagine in front of you, a movie screen.
On the screen, you see images from your own
life. You see every time when you did something kind for someone. You also see every
time someone did something nice for you.
As you watch the movie, you see how happy
you’ve made other people, and you see all the
happy times that you’ve had as well.
As you continue to watch this movie, you see a
time when you helped somebody who needed
you. You see how happy it made them. Just
this thought makes you feel warm and fuzzy
inside. Now switch to a time when someone
helped you. Think how good you felt to know
that someone was there for you. Feel all those
wonderful good feelings come rushing back to
your heart! Watch these beautiful moments of
your life. Remember how happy you were and
how wonderful you felt!

All these happy feelings - all those times you
felt warm and fuzzy - were because of a very
special feeling: love.
These things you see in front of you happened
because you loved and showed that love to
someone else, and because they love you. Love
is about taking care of other people, doing nice
things, expressing your gratitude and showing kindness and patience. Inside of us, we
are all really that – simply LOVE! That’s really
who we are! When we can express this part of
ourselves every day, as much as possible… our
hearts are filled up with joy and such satisfaction that sometimes we feel we might burst
from pure happiness! And that happy love
feeling means that you’re a part of a community of people, a very important part of a very
loving universe!
I want you to remember all this love you have
inside of you and how easily you can express
your love with simply acts of kindness towards
yourself and others. You are truly wonderful.
You are pure love!
Notice how the love feels like a soft, fuzzy
blanket wrapped all around you. It makes you
feel warm and peaceful and happy.
Now take in a nice deep breath and exhale
slowly. Continue to feel all the wonderful feelings of love and gentleness as you snuggle in
for sleep tonight. Sweet dreams!
