Experience the physical sensations of love through this guided meditation that nurtures connection, relaxation, and emotional awareness.How To Do This Practice: <ol>
<li>Sit or lie down in a relaxed posture. Close your eyes or soften your gaze. Take a deep breath in, then slowly exhale. Notice the weight of your body and release any tension in your shoulders, jaw, or hands.</li>
<li>Recall a time when you felt deeply loved and cared for—whether from a person, pet, or a meaningful experience.</li>
<li>Instead of focusing on the memory itself, notice where love manifests in your body—warmth in your chest, a tingling in your hands, a soft smile, or gentle relaxation.</li>
<li>With each inhale, visualize love spreading through your body like a warm light or soft energy, filling your heart, arms, and entire being.</li>
<li>Allow yourself to fully experience this embodied sense of love, knowing it is always within you.</li>
<li>When ready, bring awareness back to your surroundings, wiggle your fingers and toes, and take a final deep breath before opening your eyes. Set an intention to bring this felt sense of love into your interactions throughout the day.</li>
