This is Love, not Fear - Buddhist Meditation

I came across this beautiful guided meditation some time ago. Read the words, and hear yourself say it while you close your eyes and meditate. Let the vibration of your inner voice sinks in.

"Just sit. Notice where you feel hard, and sit with that.
In the middle of that hardness you'll find anger; sit with that.
Go to the center of the anger and you'll probably come to sadness.
Stay with the sadness until it turns to vulnerability.
Keep sitting with what comes up, the deeper you dig, the more tender you become.
Raw fear can open into the wide expanse of genuineness, compassion, gratitude, and acceptance in the moment.
A tender heart appears naturally when you are able to stay present.
From your heart you can see the true pigment of the sky.
You can see the vibrant yellow of a sunflower, and the deep brown of your own eyes.
A tender heart doesn't block out rain clouds, or tears, or dying sunflowers.
Allow both beauty and sadness to touch you.
This is love, not fear."
