As I breathe in,
I breathe in love.
I draw in love 
from everywhere in the universe.

Love flows in through my breath.
Love flows in to every part of my body
carried on my breath.
I open to receive love.

My capacity for love is expanding.
Every day I am becoming
a more loving person.
I am growing calmer and more serene
in the peace of love
that is becoming who I am.

I forgive myself
knowing that I have always done
the best I knew how at the time.
I send love and forgiveness to my past self.
As I do, I create a higher future for myself.

I acknowledge how far I have come
and how much I have grown
in my ability to act with
wisdom and love. 

I now choose to experience
love and peace.
I allow people to be who they are.
I offer love with wisdom.

I put down the burdens of others,
knowing they are not mine to carry.
I allow others to go through their lessons.
I hold a loving space while they do.
I let go of the need to save others
from the wonderful growth opportunities
they have attracted to themselves.

I think of someone
whose burdens I might have been carrying.
I now turn the responsibility 
for this person's life
over to this person's higher self.
I send love to this person as I do.

I let go of wanting or
needing anything from people.
I focus on how I can serve
and empower them in their growth.
I release my desires for them to
be or do anything to please me.
I offer unconditional love.

I think of someone I love.
I release a desire I have had of this person
to be or do something I want.
I send this person appreciation
for all of his or her beautiful qualities.
I love and accept this person
just as he or she is.

I think of this person and ask myself,
"How can I offer more love
to this person?
How can I express my love in
a higher, wiser way?"
I let answers and feelings flow into me.
I act on the insights as they come.

I invite the Divine Angels of Love
into my life and heart.
I ask them to open my heart
and link it with my mind so I can
love with wisdom.

An angel of love joins me now.
This angel touches my heart with love.
I receive and open to this gift of love.

I let a thought of someone
who could use love
come into my mind.

I get silent for a moment
and imagine sending this person love.
I surround this person with a rose color
that carries the angelic frequencies of love.

I fill my heart with Divine Love
transmitted to me by the Divine Angels of Love.
I send Divine Love to this person.
The Angels of Divine Love join me in
sending Divine love to this person. 

I now think of everyone I know
standing in a circle around me.
I am in the center of the circle.
I fill myself with Divine Love.
The Angels of Divine Love are with me
sending their love through me.
I send this love out to everyone I know.

Divine love flows through me
and out to the world.
I am a radiating source of love and wisdom.
