Welcome to Day 1 of Heart Renewal: Letting Love In Again, where the arc is Release—softly letting go of what past love left behind so you can feel lighter now. In today's episode, you'll explore the question: "What am I ready to release from past love so I can feel lighter now?" and learn why the nervous system can keep old heartbreak, disappointment, or uncertainty "stored" as tension, overthinking, or emotional guarding.
You'll be guided through a calming breath practice and a gentle visualization to set down emotional weight without denying what you've been through. Leave this meditation feeling more open, more grounded, and more available for love—starting with the love you offer yourself.
ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES
Welcome to Heart Renewal: Letting Love In Again—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you gently reopen your heart with both tenderness and wisdom. Whether you're seeking a relationship or you're in one and love feels distant, this week will guide you to release what you've been carrying, calm your nervous system, rebuild emotional safety, and create the inner conditions where love can return—without forcing it. Each day follows a simple arc—Release, Safety, Desire, Boundaries, Receiving, Repair, and Choose Again—with breathwork, visualization, and reflective prompts to help you soften protective patterns, trust yourself again, and feel more open to giving and receiving love in real life.
This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Heart Renewal: Letting Love In Again," episodes 3358-3364.
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - LOVE IN PRACTICE QUEST:
Each day, do one small "letting love in" action— release something heavy, soften your body, express an honest desire, set a gentle boundary, receive without deflecting, make a repair, or choose again. Track it with 7 checkmarks and notice how quickly your heart starts to feel safer, steadier, and more open.
