If you cried during most of this you are not alone. The comments show just how human this reaction is. I believe we all have a calling to grow and this reaction is the realization of all the things we have been believing that have kept us from growing. Become mindful. grow. The mind is what makes us human.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Im dealing with colon cancer stage 3. My anxiety is through the roof every waking second of my day. As of now im in the hospital because I'm bleeding and don't know why.
I cried but dont know why
I CRIED TOO
I almost cried 3 times
May I be happy
May I be full of love
May I experience peace
May I be free from suffering
May I live with ease
May I live life to the fullest extent.
I pray for your goodness 🙏
It really hit me when she said what do you love about your current self, and I couldn’t think of anything.
A lot of us have this struggle
I started getting choked up and tearing up when I thought how peaceful and happy I was without a care in the world. Lots of friends, going out, playing videogames with my sister, I didnt think about stress back then. My current age of 33 y.o, I've been though a lot in my mid twenties, a lot of tears, heartbreak, and no self-worth. I want to regain that again, be happy and carefree again. And I have to give myself that happiness and peace again how I did when I was a baby, 5 y.o and 16 y.o. I deserve to be happy. ANYONE deserves to be happy and to love life to the fullest and BE loved. I pray for that for myself and others while listening to this meditation. 🙏💕
Hey, how are you doing nowdays?
@@nnnnnnnnnn5654 Hi, thank you for your concern. 🙏 I'm doing well right now, I'm just a little stressed because i have 1 more week till finals/graduation (on the same day) for my RN program. But i feel so blessed and have the love and support I need to help encourage my progress. Need to keep thinking positively and grinding to make it to the end. 💗💪
@@Linkfan007 I am so happy for you. I'm sure you will do great in the finals, as long as you have all that love and support around you🥰 💖I wish you the best in anything, you and I and everyone deserve it. You got this!💪😌
@@nnnnnnnnnn5654 Aww, thank you for your kindness and support. I'm praying all goes well, I'm trying to keep my head up and think positively. 🙏💗 God Bless
@@Linkfan007 ☺💓
The moment I started visualizing an infant, I started seeing myself as a baby, and I immediately broke down in tears. It's amazing how powerful this meditation is. Thank you!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Just crying the whole time, thank you so much for this.
Same here. Balling my eyes out.
Sweetie... I have being doing it for 10 months.. At this moment iam Better.. Just came from outside....
Outdoor fixes me always... Find more and more variety of activities you can do.. Go outside.. Anywhere.... First you don't feel like doing.. But once you did later in the day you can experience the difference..
I've been dealing with such low self esteem and self hatred, I felt so lost and needed validation that I could believe.
The second this began I broke down, and I cried during the entire thing. I feel so much better.
Thank you for making this
Caused me to hate self more.
I hope you’re feeling better now. May you be happy
Being able to go back to the past and then look at the present with the realization that for the universe you are still just a child, it allows you to have more self-compassion with who you are being in the present moment, on your journey. This exercise helps you to free yourself from self-judgments. Thank you!
There were so many emotions arising during this meditation that I started crying...extremely moving
I wish anyone watching this health, happiness, and deepest wellbeing
Thats some good vibes, 3 months later you made a stranger just a bit happier.
@@a1pwn I’m so glad :) I hope things get better
@@toywl973 Slowly but gradually. I am getting away from the vitim/ hopelessness and just keep learning and fighting through my issues. You're awesome!
I wish you the same💜
Doing this actually brought me to tears, I found it so powerful. Thank you so much.
This is a beautiful exercise that I use often with my clients who are dealing with guilt. Perfectionism, being too self-critical and can't forgive themselves for past mistakes. Thank you for sharing💗 I will continue to share this as well
The most powerful and emotionally moving meditation I've ever experienced... Bless you
I feel soo peacely ,i feel free ,i feel at ease ,thank u ,i feel calm ❤❤
Thank you so much for this, the analogy of the new born is such a good idea. I can feel the contrast between having compassion for the other new born and my new born it really shows the resistance I had to any type of self-compassion. Thank you ❤
I appreciate that your voice is not precious, breathy and cloying, like many meditation guides. So helpful for me to hear a kind and clear but matter-of-fact voice. With the typical meditation voice I feel a bit manipulated, and generally choose to go without a guide for this reason. Thank you.
This video has been helping me through the toughest crap for the past three years. Thank you. Please make sure this video stays up forever.
To whoever is reading this in 2023, I am sending you a lot of love. I am proud of you for showing up for yourself and never giving up. May you be happy
While helpfull, I feel that it would benefit hugely if it was done slower, with longer pauses between the words.
Harmen I agree!
Try playing it at .75x speed :)
I agree
Such a powerful meditation. Pulling images from your childhood and telling yourself "You are ok. You deserve love" directly plays towards your subconscious. It's not easy at first, but it sure is uplifting. Thanks for sharing!
This was immensely powerful. I was shocked by the effect it had on me... thank you
This was a wonderfully done meditation that helps you love yourself on a deep level. Thank you for sharing it.
Listening to this on the train on the way to work . Thank you for brightening up my Monday morning ✨❤️✨
This is a beautiful and powerful meditation. Thank you so much for this. And it arrived at exactly the right time in my life. Thank you always and much love to you xxx
Thank you for this. I feel love and loved.
This was perfect. Thank you.
♥️
Thank you loved this meditation! I get stuck at age 16; know I am healed when I find something happy at that stage! 🙏🙏🙏
I loved this, thank you, it hit different levels for me and the tranquility of the views and compassion of the voice were wonderful, thank you 🌅xx
Best ever meditation.
Beautiful. Easy. Peaceful. Thank you.
I realized that the reason I love myself is the same reason I love places in my past - not for any particular quality, but because I have experienced those places and lived with them.
I can’t think of any particular quality about myself that I love in and of itself… I love myself because through everything, my one companion, my one witness, has been me.
Such a beautiful meditation. Thank you very much for posting.
I went to sleep like a peace and rest in my spirit your voice is relaxing and calming
Thank you very much for this experience. I'm recommending this to my therapy clients🙏
... and perhaps with the music volume low enough so the speaker could be heard. All in all, a wonderful meditation. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this beautiful meditation. What a kind soul to offer this to the whole world ♥️.
This is so relaxing and affirming...thank you!
❤ may everyone’s wishes be blessed with happiness joy freedom peace of mind 💜
Thank you for this. It is exactly what I need right now.
I feel at peace. Thank you.
Thanks a lot ! I found what I was looking for. This made me feel great and peaceful. Beautiful voice and accent to my French ear, I will add it to my daily meditation.
Thank you so much, that was beautiful. Will use it myself and share with my clients.
This was a wonderful meditation 🧘🏻♀️ thank you for putting this out there
Thanks for sharing your gift of this meditation. It was a great way to start my day & put a smile on my face with positive feelings. NMRK.
Loved this! 🖤
I was sent here by a prevention line, to feel better but I still feel very bad and even worse about everything because, and this sounds like I'm faking it but it's true, my parents asked what was wrong like they couldnt hear me choking, gasping for air and sobbing for over 10 minutes and proceed to yell at me for walking around not answering because I know that they wont ever understand and they'll just keep yelling at me since they think yelling at me will get the answer out.
You aren’t alone. Your family of origin may be too damaged to understand but keep seeking and you will find those who will listen and care for you.
Thank you, Much LOVE!
I've been meditating for about four months now and practice self awareness and mindfulness. Tbh it has helped me so much I find it hard to explain. This was extremely powerful as I didn't see my self shine at any age except now. The part when you see yourself as you are today but with yourself as a child, I held my younger selves hand and said to him, it wasn't your fault. That made me cry. Thanks for this meditation it was very vivid. ❤️
Wow thank you 🙏 for this beautiful meditation it’s really powerful.. I was crying 😭 all the way through ..
This is lovely ❤️ Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so much!

Jamie Zimmerman has a lovely voice.....Just found her on my way back into meditation 😁
Her voice is gentle, the images on the screen are soothing for me. Seemed like a long 10minutes but kept me engaged. My favorite Metta is "May I Live with Ease". That encompasses how I want my life and my children's lives to be. Thank you. I will be sharing this.
Last night were difficult on me
But i have seen that i need more self compassion in my life
I don't know many things in this life but i hope that one day i will figure it all
One of my steps now are finding my love to myself, it's not simple as it seems but i think this content will help!
Thank you and thank you again
That was all I needed today. At the point I visualized myself at 16, I found myself dancing with it, wearing my Sweet 16 dress, at the banquet hall - just the two of us. As we danced, I said those affirmations. It really helped me through a bad day. Thank you so much!
This meditation is amazing. I’ve been using it daily since I found it. The only issue I have is that it’s a little fast. Would there be any way for you to possibly slow it down, just a touch?
Thank you so much xo
You could try 0.75x speed - there's only minimal audio distortion. Maybe that will work for you?
Thank you.
Brilliant such a sad loss to humanity that Dr. Zimmerman passed on
Fantastic💙
Wow this meditation is just wow 😭😭😭😭😭
Like a lot of commenters I cried as well 💓 we should all have more compassion for ourselves
Loving-kindness; practice dropping the difficulty level :) you will benefit ( loving kindness - harmlessness and efficiency )
Nice one, directing our readers to you :-)
felt nice. thx
So powerful
thank you
This guided meditation focuses on imagining one's self at various stages of life, which can be quite heavy. Not a quick meditation for the start of a busy work day. More of a heavy piece for when you have time and energy to process deep psychological issues.
Thank you
Amazing....very emotional
Interesting video.
In this connection we would like to share the story of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola. He has had vast wealth through businesses in the oil, gas and shipping industries. In his words, “I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness. The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage, I did not get the happiness I wanted.”“Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the luster of valuable things does not last long. Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of the diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.”“The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy a wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids. At the friend’s request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.”“There I gave these wheelchairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around, and having fun. It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot winning.”“I felt real joy inside me. When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly. I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else? The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely.”This child said: “I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again.”This is quite a revelation. Here is someone who is able to enjoy anything possible here in this world. All kinds of properties, travel, luxuries, fame, power and so on. And yet his happiest experience came from a time when he showed compassion and kindness to some handicapped children. The happiness he experienced is a spiritual type of happiness. This is much deeper than material pleasures because it directly touches the soul. And the happiness he experienced is just the beginning. There is so much more anyone will experience as they make their whole life centered around pleasing the Supreme Lord.
this is intens!

I actually recommend WildMind’s website (www.wildmind.org/metta/introduction) for a good list of advice on how to deepen your lovingkindness meditation practice, as much as other meditation practices also. I’ve meditated for years and have read a lot of different websites, and WildMind is one of the best on written descriptions on metta meditation. So if you’re stuck or want to know the common traps on this path, check out WildMind.
Lovely meditation. I wish i could ve listened to it better, the music was loud sharp and distracting
This feels like it’s being narrated by my high school bully
Jesus, I cried.
The sound mix is off, misuc should be lower volume and voice higher volume. The sounds of the music drowns the instructions a bit. But thank you for upload.
Listen to your heart! Loving kindness for cute African American children (eternalNoob), may innocence be protected in and around them (satori - soul visibility). May the pineal gland always create healthy forests in their world where nature's lessons can be taught. Be yourself!

A kind face appears over me
Does anyone know the name of the lady? I love her voice!
meditate again and you'll see her name at beginning of video

The words were nice, just too fast. Also, a pop shield would have been helpful to take out the swallowing sounds and mouth noises. I am very sensitive to that and it was very distracting.
I cant do this one it just brings up way too much trauma
This is useless if there is nothing you love about yourself, depressing to think about. Wish I hadn't listened now I'll have to spend half the day trying to get over self-loathing.
Realizing that I've fallen so far from when I was a child was extremely discouraging.
Not me wanting to cry
