Guided Meditation | YOU ARE LOVED | Self-Care, Self-Esteem, Self-Worth (asmr, female voice)

[@MichellesSanctuary]

When I was 4, I used to call my mom's name out all day. I asked enough questions to make her head spin. At one point, she told me to look to the sky because some answers only God had (of course once I got to school I learned that we humans have answers to and she was just exhausted from my inquiries). But when I sensed she was going over the edge, I realized when she said "What?" for the thousandth time in a day, I could simply say, "I love you," and her eyes would soften and light up. At some point in my life, it wasn't so easy to say. It became a heavy word. A listener wrote in with a similar concern and I wrote this meditation to remind you it's all okay and you are loved. If this is the only place to get to hear it today. If this is the safest place for you to hear these words, let them in. One breath, one meditation at a time. “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Such a beautiful sentiment. Your work is much appreciated 😍

[@lindsayr6208]

Thank you Michelle. Lately I feel like I’m a burden to my family and a disappointment. My mom is so tired and my daughter is off to college next year. I don’t have answers for her about the future or solutions for the present. And so although I hate sounding like a victim, I find myself hungry for hugs and reassurance that I don’t have to receive those things expectantly to know I’m valued and valuable somehow. Xoxo

You are the quintessential child of love 😍

[@larrymarcus3176]

. I find love inextricably confusing. I know I love but am unsure if I am loved since people who have expressed it to me have generally acted quite contrary to how I think love is expressed. I have little expectation from others since historically I’m usually disappointed. It’s a complex emotion that has many faces. Some of them poetic like your meditation. Which ended as abruptly as some of my love relationships did. I thank you for going out on. a limb making this. I think it takes courage to say I love you. It’s a very vulnerable position to have. It’s not quantifiable or qualifiable. How do you love me how much in what way with what conditions and what does it all mean? Who do you suppose was the first person to say I love? And what or who did they love and why? Look this is just my dumb ass way of coping with a beautiful voice telling me she loves me. It made me blush. Loving myself seems even more complicated. Kind of an ontological quandary. If I love myself should I kiss myself? Or just have unconditional acceptance of myself. Something to ponder. No wonder I’m still awake.

Thank you Michelle. I'm going through some pretty heart and gut wrenching family issues - and have been for as long as I can remember. I'm hanging onto your every word - it's the only thing that's helping me even just little bit, at this time. I'll never understand how people can be so cruel and heartless - particularly to their own flesh and blood. Thank you for sending this incredibly necessary and sensitive message and healing words. God bless you, dearest Michelle.

71 days sober today. Today is my 33rd birthday and it's the first time I'm sober since 16

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Congratulations! Wishing you the happiest birthday and hope you celebrate every day going forward. You deserve it!

[@cheypam]

You are loved too Michelle ❤️❤️ by a lot of people! ❤️ ❤️ Bless your heart 💝

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Pamela Walker thank you, my dear! This warmed my heart. Stay safe and keep taking care of yourself! 💜💜💜

[@Gigifrancetexas]

Thank you for having a neutral ending instead of a wake cue. This really helps the meditation be dual purpose (also for before sleep)

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Georgia L I’m glad you noticed- I really wanted to do what I could to give that dual purpose. 💜

[@cherryheaven30]

Thank you so much Michelle!!!! I am sooo excited for sleep tonight! You truly are a blessing and Godsend to all of us who listen!! Thank you!!!! XOXO

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Have an amazing night! 💜

[@sarah7081]

I listen to your meditations almost every day!! thank you, Michelle!!!! you are LOVED. from a lonely misunderstood empath that feels too much and gets exhausted often, thank you. 🥺 I wish I could just hug you!!!! 🤗

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Sarah Ims aww me too- perhaps one day we will cross paths. You’re not the only empath out there. I didn’t even know there was a term for it until recent years! It’s a gift to be that, it just means we really need to take time to care for ourselves! 💜

[@larrymarcus3176]

Sarah. You are not alone. What I subscribe to for myself is I don’t care if anyone understands me. I’m a sensitive receiver who picks up on others emotions very strongly and if they feel chaos I feel it too. It is exhausting. Sometimes I won’t watch the news or watch serious dramatic shows. I learned to filter what I receive so I’m not overwhelmed. But there are times I just can’t and I just get overwhelmed. No catastrophe just super energy sapping. You can be alone but you don’t have to be lonely. I’m sure your good company. Accept yourself who cares if anyone else does. Being sensitive is a gift and a curse. Focus on the gift part. That way when someone else feels pain or sadness or rage you can possibly be able to support them unconditionally. Maybe even lead them to a better path. Just by being you.

I love that you love this-- sending all positive energy your way! 💜

[@MrNcgy]

Good morning, and thank you for your time and resources in producing this. It really helped me to relax. I was already exhausted but felt anxious and afraid. My Mom has Parkinsons disease, and I never feel I'm doing enough for her. I'm sad and resentful over my only sibling, not helping at all. Plus, there's all of my own stuff to deal with. Anyway, it's hard to shut my mind up; and this did it. I appreciated feeling like I wasn't alone, even for a few minutes. ✌️

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I'm so glad this helps-- it is so hard to be a caregiver and I hope you are able to keep taking time for yourself to self-soothe and rest. You're doing your best! There is no perfect way to do any of this... she's lucky to have you and I hope this continues to bring some peace. 💜

[@sineadnichoirbin7232]

Love - without it life is a mere existence. I’d love to relate my own 2020, a tumultuous emotional roller rollercoaster with my best friend. Perhaps we should write that book, just based on this year alone it would make for fascinating reading. We all need someone in our lives, simple as that Michelle.

[@thepinksilhouette3076]

Thankyou for making this...😢 I don't feel love and idk why

[@Marsh55116]

I'm crying for love and connection. My wife left and said she didn't love me and didn't want me!

[@MichellesSanctuary]

I’m sorry - so sorry. That is so hurtful and I hope this helps you to keep in mind you deserve to be appreciated and loved.

[@cozycami_]

Hi

[@ritapetraitis1050]

Who loves me.

[@MichellesSanctuary]

The greatest love starts with you loving you. And I'm just here to send more love in that direction.

[@LaRealDos]

I wish this meditation didn’t include so many negative words

[@jimbob-ic5kc]

If only her words were true...

[@MichellesSanctuary]

They are 💜

[@IIIspirit]

To much explanation for me

[@MichellesSanctuary]

Sorry it didn't work for you! Hope you find something that is a better fit.
