Take a few moments to sit quietly and ask your heart:

“What wants to be born into my life today? I welcome the birth of something new.”

When something arises from your heart into your mind, welcome it as you would a beloved child, a long-awaited gift.

Let your heart rise up to meet it, and remind yourself:

“Love’s welcome waits for me. I receive this gift that comes to me; I welcome it into my heart.”

Look around the room and find some small talisman that can remind you of this new part of yourself.

Slip it into your pocket or purse, where you will run across it during the day (hopefully, more than once).

Each time you see or touch it, remind yourself:

“Today, love gives its gifts to me. I welcome them now into my heart.”
