00:00:00,267 --> 00:00:02,302
- Hi everyone. 
Welcome to Yoga with Adriene.

2
00:00:02,302 --> 00:00:03,537
I'm Adriene, this is Benji.

3
00:00:03,537 --> 00:00:05,771
And today, 
we have a sweet little

4
00:00:05,771 --> 00:00:08,675
meditation for self love.

5
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:11,768
So hop into something 
comfy and let's get started.

6
00:00:11,768 --> 00:00:14,892
(upbeat music)

7
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:26,059
Alrighty my friend,

8
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:29,062
we're going to begin in a
comfortable seat of your choice.

9
00:00:29,062 --> 00:00:33,100
You can also do 
this video lying down.

10
00:00:34,635 --> 00:00:36,350
I want you to feel comfortable.

11
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:41,427
And go to a position,

12
00:00:41,427 --> 00:00:43,257
come into a 
position that feels good,

13
00:00:43,257 --> 00:00:45,546
that feels supported.

14
00:00:45,546 --> 00:00:47,080
So, I'm sitting up on a bolster

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,484
so that I can feel nice and
comfortable sitting up tall,

16
00:00:50,484 --> 00:00:53,280
but you do you.

17
00:00:59,126 --> 00:01:02,602
If you're sitting up, align
your head over your heart,

18
00:01:02,602 --> 00:01:03,897
and your heart over your pelvis.

19
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:06,333
If you're lying down,
tuck you chin,

20
00:01:06,333 --> 00:01:08,439
so that your 
neck is nice and long.

21
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:14,508
Then let's bring our 
left hand to our heart space

22
00:01:15,442 --> 00:01:18,441
and our right 
hand to the low belly.

23
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:24,084
Gently allow your 
eyelids to get heavy,

24
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:26,150
close your eyes

25
00:01:29,217 --> 00:01:32,017
and baby, let's take this time

26
00:01:32,017 --> 00:01:35,665
to reset,

27
00:01:36,787 --> 00:01:38,097
reconnect,

28
00:01:39,309 --> 00:01:41,194
remember that

29
00:01:43,265 --> 00:01:44,818
we are worthy,

30
00:01:47,007 --> 00:01:49,019
worthy of love.

31
00:01:55,015 --> 00:01:57,050
As we begin to tune in here,

32
00:01:58,275 --> 00:02:00,587
trust that you 
made the right decision

33
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:04,197
selecting this video,

34
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:10,097
carving out just 
a little bit of time

35
00:02:10,097 --> 00:02:14,701
and space to 
consider or reconsider

36
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:17,904
where you are right now.

37
00:02:21,441 --> 00:02:25,812
And not only reconnect 
or remember with this fact,

38
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:30,017
in my mind this truth, 
that you are worthy of love.

39
00:02:34,955 --> 00:02:38,035
But perhaps we open to 
taking it one step further,

40
00:02:38,035 --> 00:02:41,862
and remembering or reconnecting
with the fact or the truth

41
00:02:41,862 --> 00:02:45,432
that you are love.

42
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,258
Take a deep breath 
in wherever you are.

43
00:02:58,311 --> 00:03:01,244
And a long breath
out wherever you are.

44
00:03:04,785 --> 00:03:06,920
And now maybe 
with the eyes closed,

45
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,556
if they are not already, 
take another deep breath in.

46
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:12,154
Wherever you are,

47
00:03:12,154 --> 00:03:14,765
just whatever's 
going on with you today.

48
00:03:14,765 --> 00:03:16,539
And a long breath out.

49
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:22,703
So I'm definitely 
rolling out the red carpet here

50
00:03:22,703 --> 00:03:24,671
for you to just come as you are,

51
00:03:25,572 --> 00:03:27,074
with however you're feeling.

52
00:03:29,376 --> 00:03:32,179
And then hopefully we 
can use this gentle process

53
00:03:33,547 --> 00:03:36,817
either as preventative care
or a little rescue remedy

54
00:03:37,818 --> 00:03:40,554
for you to know and feel 
that you are worthy of love,

55
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:44,658
and that you are in fact,
the love itself.

56
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:52,742
Inhale in.

57
00:03:54,181 --> 00:03:55,469
Now on your next exhale,

58
00:03:55,469 --> 00:03:58,405
just allow the hands to 
rest wherever it feels good.

59
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:00,273
Gently at your sides,

60
00:04:00,273 --> 00:04:03,610
maybe palms on the 
knees or the thighs,

61
00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:05,879
maybe fingertips 
resting gently on the ribs

62
00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:07,294
if you're on your back.

63
00:04:09,983 --> 00:04:12,119
Use the sound of my 
voice to guide you here,

64
00:04:12,119 --> 00:04:14,921
so you can keep 
your eyes closed.

65
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:18,791
Relax your tongue 
down in your mouth.

66
00:04:18,791 --> 00:04:20,060
Take a deep breath in.

67
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:22,095
Fill your belly with air.

68
00:04:23,296 --> 00:04:26,867
And as you exhale, 
relax your shoulders.

69
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:34,174
Now starting at your feet,

70
00:04:34,174 --> 00:04:37,077
send your 
awareness to your feet,

71
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:41,148
and just slowly 
taking a gentle body scan

72
00:04:41,148 --> 00:04:44,284
noticing as you go 
up through the body,

73
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,322
all the way to your crown,

74
00:04:46,322 --> 00:04:48,951
noticing if there 
are any tight places

75
00:04:48,951 --> 00:04:51,523
or places that you 
might be holding or gripping.

76
00:04:56,579 --> 00:05:00,100
See if you can detect 
any places in the body

77
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:01,501
physically or energetically,

78
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:04,903
where you might 
be able to soften,

79
00:05:04,903 --> 00:05:08,074
blanket a little love.

80
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:09,881
Relax.

81
00:05:16,816 --> 00:05:18,585
Inhale in deeply.

82
00:05:20,913 --> 00:05:22,945
And exhale completely.

83
00:05:25,525 --> 00:05:28,828
Continuing with the 
nice conscious breath.

84
00:05:29,796 --> 00:05:32,899
Seeing if you can,
whatever this means to you,

85
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,437
breath like you love yourself.

86
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:46,170
Inhaling lots of love in.

87
00:05:48,815 --> 00:05:51,890
And exhaling lots of love out.

88
00:05:57,924 --> 00:06:02,329
Now if you stumbled 
across some areas,

89
00:06:02,329 --> 00:06:04,264
either specifically physically,

90
00:06:04,264 --> 00:06:07,300
maybe in the shoulders,
the low back, the hips,

91
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:09,336
or more energetically,
emotionally,

92
00:06:09,336 --> 00:06:12,339
maybe in the heart space or
even in the head, the neck,

93
00:06:13,907 --> 00:06:17,844
if you stumbled across a 
place that has felt tight

94
00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:21,982
or is tight, congested,

95
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:27,048
use your breath,
this loving inhale

96
00:06:27,048 --> 00:06:28,922
and this loving exhale,

97
00:06:31,992 --> 00:06:35,975
to soften that area,
to smooth it out.

98
00:06:38,208 --> 00:06:40,310
Send some love to that area.

99
00:06:45,105 --> 00:06:48,302
Breathing in deep into 
the belly as you inhale.

100
00:06:52,049 --> 00:06:57,017
Softening, blanketing 
the body in love

101
00:06:57,017 --> 00:06:59,753
as you surrender on the exhale.

102
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:13,772
Continue to gently 
deepen your breath,

103
00:07:15,201 --> 00:07:17,371
using it as a tool

104
00:07:18,967 --> 00:07:22,192
to reside in 
the present moment.

105
00:07:28,014 --> 00:07:30,083
Notice the 
thoughts that come up.

106
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:34,560
Acknowledge them 
and use the mantra

107
00:07:35,261 --> 00:07:37,190
inhale lots of love in.

108
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:41,027
And exhale lots of love out.

109
00:07:41,027 --> 00:07:44,228
Anchor the brain to refocus

110
00:07:46,162 --> 00:07:47,265
on love.

111
00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:54,874
You can use the mantra

112
00:07:54,874 --> 00:07:56,810
inhale lots of love in.

113
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:01,473
Exhale lots of love out.

114
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:04,963
In repetition here.

115
00:08:06,753 --> 00:08:08,820
And you can use it off the mat

116
00:08:10,056 --> 00:08:11,624
when you wake up in the morning,

117
00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:16,120
and before you 
go to bed at night.

118
00:08:22,902 --> 00:08:25,310
Inhale lots of love in.

119
00:08:28,489 --> 00:08:30,916
Exhale lots of love out.

120
00:08:33,712 --> 00:08:36,195
Inhale lots of love in.

121
00:08:38,841 --> 00:08:41,767
Exhale lots of love out.

122
00:09:05,678 --> 00:09:09,816
Continue with your breath,

123
00:09:12,585 --> 00:09:15,388
repeating the mantra 
a couple more times,

124
00:09:17,056 --> 00:09:18,792
ingraining it, remembering it,

125
00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:20,986
taking it as a tool

126
00:09:23,418 --> 00:09:26,839
to reset and reconnect

127
00:09:28,201 --> 00:09:31,271
with the truth that 
you are worthy of love,

128
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:37,260
and that in fact,

129
00:09:39,486 --> 00:09:41,137
you are love.

130
00:09:52,192 --> 00:09:54,327
If you're on your back,
tuck your chin again,

131
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:56,229
lengthen through 
the back of the neck.

132
00:09:57,096 --> 00:10:00,259
If you're seated, 
use your next inhale

133
00:10:00,259 --> 00:10:03,600
to lift your heart 
space a little bit more.

134
00:10:07,574 --> 00:10:09,827
Inhale lots of love in.

135
00:10:12,045 --> 00:10:13,986
Exhale lots of love out.

136
00:10:16,135 --> 00:10:18,340
Inhale lots of love in.

137
00:10:20,753 --> 00:10:22,989
Exhale lots of love out.

138
00:10:29,329 --> 00:10:30,914
As you're ready,

139
00:10:30,914 --> 00:10:33,774
gently bring the palms together,

140
00:10:33,774 --> 00:10:35,954
Anjali Mudra at the heart.

141
00:10:37,604 --> 00:10:40,189
Take a hot second, 
notice how you feel.

142
00:10:47,525 --> 00:10:49,133
And as you're ready,

143
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,452
start to lift the corners 
of the mouth and smile,

144
00:10:53,452 --> 00:10:55,251
even if it's a fake smile.

145
00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:01,948
Allow your smile to 
grow a little bit bigger.

146
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,069
Take deep breath in.

147
00:11:10,293 --> 00:11:11,993
A long breath out.

148
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:15,379
Flutter the eyelashes open.

149
00:11:16,393 --> 00:11:18,671
Bring the thumbs up 
to the third eye,

150
00:11:20,447 --> 00:11:22,168
quietly whisper,

151
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:26,111
I am worthy of love.

152
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:28,955
I am worthy of love.

153
00:11:28,955 --> 00:11:30,217
Don't be shy.

154
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:33,960
Quietly whisper, affirm,

155
00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:36,629
I am love.

156
00:11:37,864 --> 00:11:38,983
I am love.

157
00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:43,669
And then allow your 
head and your hands

158
00:11:43,669 --> 00:11:46,439
to gently fold in, 
bowing towards your heart.

159
00:11:47,774 --> 00:11:51,144
Thank you so much for 
sharing a little time with me

160
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:53,379
and with people 
all over the world.

161
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:55,574
You are not alone.
We're all in this together.

162
00:11:57,016 --> 00:11:59,642
Let's take one more deep inhale.

163
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:02,681
Breathing in love.

164
00:12:04,257 --> 00:12:07,585
Exhale, breathing out

165
00:12:07,585 --> 00:12:11,246
yup, you guessed it, love.

166
00:12:12,231 --> 00:12:13,763
Thanks everyone.

167
00:12:13,763 --> 00:12:14,817
Let me know how you're feeling

168
00:12:14,817 --> 00:12:16,402
in the comments 
section down below.

169
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:18,171

know someone in your life

this little meditation break,

Namaste.

177
00:12:34,618 --> 00:12:37,807
(upbeat music)
