Allow compassion to surround & support you in this practice as you imagine being encircled by the most loving beings you have ever met or can imagine.

I absolutely love this!
Having a circle of love where you can ask for what you want and it is given without condition, with kindness, with generosity. Just to be in the presence of love soothes one's soul, especially for one going through divorce. And to know that when I am filled up, I can give back, well that is even more joyful. Love.

A brief but powerful reminder of self love that allows others to come into your circle.

I feel calm and in control. That was the phrase I picked.
And I would like that to be my new mantra to stop the anxiety taking over. I imagined the circle of love as being all of my doggies passed and present. All thanking me for taking them in and giving them a good life and for loving them with all my heart. And I thanked them in return for coming into my life and filling it with so much love, purpose and fun. Thank you

I am who I am that makes up me. I am unique. I am worthy, I am proud. I care, I have a big heart. I love those who surround me. I am willing, I am able. I am trustworthy. I wish all of you the challenge to see good in yourself too, because you deserve it. Have a great day!

This was a very powerful and telling meditation - thinking not only of the very positive people that came to mind - but also who didn’t and why they didn’t.

Circle of Love is Life. Meditation was very Soothing and Relaxing. Meditation is good for the mind and soul. Love is all around Immediate Family. Such as your children you get to teach them family values and beliefs. Where there is love there is family. Such a busy day today being with family surrounded in the circle of love seeing my family values that I’ve instilled and my children shining and all the activities today and believe me they were a lot.I’m very grateful that this medicine meditation and reflection what’s worth it. beliefs always. I will be cheering with you hopefully tomorrow or energy. Everyone has a wonderful. GoodNight everyone. 🤔

Reminds me to access the love within.
Too often we believe we only deserve to be loved as a result of our accomplishments in this world or what we do for others. This meditation helps to dispel that myth in that we have the ability to access our own unconditional love and acknowledge both the people that we’ve known in our lives that have provided that for us. We can then go out and be a reflection of that love to so many people who need that in the world.

I am loved
Hearing this made me truly realize that the people in my life do love me and do care for me. It’s not just a temporary love but a deep down and cherishing forever love and that’s what I give to them and it feels good to finally feel like they’re giving the same love back.

Love!
Ultimately, what drives us in our lives truly is love; we must truly learn to express—to give the same amount of love (or more) as the love we yearn for in our lives. In the worst moments of our lives, it only takes some time with the few people who love you so much in the world to bring you back into the battlefield.

To envision a circle of my heroes, mentors, and those who love me was empowering- I could feel the warmth. May I now pass that kindness and compassion to others I encounter today. Namaste

Karma
As they say, “what goes around, comes back around,” there must always be a balance in things - a middle ground. There are times that I’d been giving and giving and giving; now, all I do is take. All will be well. There is always a regression to the mean. I need to learn the art of give-and-take. I have to wake her up in a few hours so she can finish accounting sales. I didn’t really have a double-shot espresso like I’d told her - oh well.

Reflections: Where my origin began
A vision of my grandfather, walking with me down a bright path surrounded by forest and colorful leaves, came into light. I never met him but have heard the various stories from his 8 children, and others, that made him this icon. An Irish-born immigrant who chased the American dream, war veteran, and a man who believed in equality way before the civil rights movements, I only hope to honor his legacy. In this meditation, he and I, didn’t speak but I saw the world through his eyes. I absorbed his beginning, the middle he created, and embraced his end. His story showed me clarity and how far love can carry you in your life.

Love and affirmation
If you think you can't give affirmation & love to yourself, you learn how to give it yourself via the persons you love & look up to. By mirroring your own love over them back to you, you'll learn how to shine and cherish yourself.

Sorrounding myself with love
From within, I realize life is abundant of love, love is what this universe is made of. I open my inner eye, and can see it everywhere. In the orange tree that grows tall and green outside my window, in the hummingbirds and bees that visit our garden, in the clear blue sky, in the warmth of sunshine, in the sweet smile of my friends, in my own heart. How can I beg for love, since it is more than plenty for everyone? I was blind, now I can see.

This meditation was okay, however today I didn’t find it so useful. As I tried to imagine who loved me, it reminded me of my ex. He used to love me & it is why I need the recovering meditation. But the breathing helped me come to ease.

Today was another difficult meditation for me, as my mind kept wandering. I’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself to meditate “properly”. I have said in reflections before that even the breathing helps, which is a positive.

Circle of Love
There is nothing special we have to do deserve peace - my phrase. Just because we are alive we deserve peace. So, express peace to others create it in your voice and face to let everyone know that they can have it do. Provide peace through your tone and facial expressions so everyone you come into contact with can know that it exists.

Would be far better expressed as sitting on a beach with waves and tide bringing this to you and returning it to the world as it draws back to sea. Too much internal confusion trying to conjure up mythical or mortals sitting in your circle.

I picture myself surrounded by all my loved ones. I can feel their presence and their unconditional love. Some have seen me at my worst. Where I had no respect or love for myself or life. I am grateful for their patience, their spoken and unspoken hopes for me, for lifting me up and carrying me. I am alive again. My feet are planted firm and I am full of love and compassion. I get it now, the art of living. I am grateful and hopeful that I can do the same for them one day. Lean on me. Take my hand. Trust that we will not fall. I promise this not solely to my family and friends but to anyone in need! 🙏❤️

Kindness
I learned that I need to be more kind to myself. That was my intention today and needs to be my intention everyday for a while here as I struggle with unknown medical neurological ailments. Kindness to thyself is of us most importance and I preach that to my patient’s as I am a nurse but I do not practice what I preach and therefore I am a hypocrite. I intend to treat myself with more kindness everyday. SCD.

It was a bit hard to imagine loving people in this exercise, but my mother was certainly there. I realized that my mother has always proclaimed and manifestad loudly all those well wishes for me. I started thinking of my old congregation. I no longer attend, but the love they always manifested for me was real. I though of that verse about love in 1 Corinthians. Cant remember the verse chapter or number. But it’s about love and all things love is. It’s all coming back to me. At the end of the day everything, everyone is looking for more love in their lives. I think that is both beautiful and healthy. Love IS is the way.

This was a difficult meditation for me. I was unable to envision enough people who love me to form a circle. At best I could make an arc. I panicked and then became focused on the process of trying to think of others who could radiate love to me and missed the meditation.

I feel that I’m always WAY too hard on my self or I take this “I’d rather be pessimistic & surprised than optimistic & disappointed.” So imagining a “circle of love” is very welcoming and inspiring. I like to picture this circle with everyone I hold close including myself.

Reciprocity of Love
It’s no wonder why they call it an inner circle; to receive love and affection from those you cherish is like being enrobed in love. Not because you did anything particularly special. But bc you just are. And that is something to acknowledge. Which, I realize, may take time to settle in. They love us for who we are. Bask in their warmth. In their care. And when we feel loved, we are able to give it back to others... so they, too, can feel seen, heard and honored for the loving creatures we are. The reciprocity of love.

Flowing & Glowing
I found myself in the middle of a large group of happy people that were all facing me. There was a circle cleared out about 8’ and I was standing in the center of it. Not a word was spoken but there was definitely an electric type of ‘buzz’ in the air. As I breathed in deeply, this ‘buzz’ was flowing to me & it filled my lungs completely. I became aware of my heart starting to expand & glow with a warm, lovely greenish hue. When I could take in no more, I slowly exhaled as waves of green goodness flowed out of me to the crowd who slowly breathed it all in together. Their collected exhale flowed back to me as my heart kept expanding with each inhale of this love being shared. This exchange of Love kept flowing, glowing & growing as I started to rise above the scene to take it all in. When I got far enough above it all, I could see the people all gathered together had formed a big heart that looked like it was beating in time to the breathing of the Love buzz that was being shared. A truly marvelous sight, feeling & experience!! May you feel truly loved today and may you share your love today especially to someone who may not “deserve” it. For they are the ones who lack it the most. The Truth is, there is only Love... And different degrees of lack of Love. There really is no hate, only an extreme lack of Love. That is why we are to love our enemies. Once they feel more loved, there is less room for their hate. So breathe in the Love buzz that is all around you, allow your heart to be filled with to overflowing & then share your love with the world today. It is going to be a beautiful day!! Namaste my glowing partners, 💚💚 💚💚 💚 💚💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 🍀

We can all learn a thing or two about love and compassion. I’m the type of person who wears their heart on their sleeve because my parents taught me how to be compassionate towards every living thing and to show love towards others. I learned without love and compassion there wouldn’t be goodness and good people in this world. At the end of the day be compassionate and give everyone love

This meditation taught me how to better appreciate those who love me I . I have a very bad tendency not to believe I am worthy open the kind words of other people.. I am always trying to improve myself, and I struggle to except myself as I am. This practice caused me to reflect on all the people who love me, including parents siblings and friends. My hope is that imagining myself excepting their love and kindness in my mind call me well better quit me to do so in real life situations without trepidation. In turn probably experiencing the love of those around me, will hopefully allow me to extend more loving kindness towards other people. I am grateful to those who work for Aurel we’re pretty distracted together. Do you have Made me feel it’s in Station throughout my body and in my heart. You have also taught me to use the phrase “May I be satisfied with my life ,“ Two more readily except the compliments of other people without demanding more for myself. Thank you for allowing me to become more grateful for the love in my life. I am also grateful for the community iOn this app for taking the time to read this post. I hope everyone is OK, happy, and well.

I learned that this task is difficult for me. It’s hard for me to bask in that kind of loving talk but I also learned that the longer I meditated on it, the easier it was to accept. This is a meditation I will do often so that the love flows in easier.
