Hello dear ones and welcome to this meditation for listening to your body.
Our body is sending us messages all the time.
All we need to do is learn how to tune into our body to understand what it is asking for.
Take a moment and get comfortable,
Either sitting or lying down.
Close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Take a deep breath in and close your eyes,
Exhaling any tension in the body.
Let's begin slowing down.
Feel your breath flowing in an automatic rhythm.
Observe the air coming in and out.
Imagine that your breath is slowing down just a little bit,
Making you feel more relaxed,
Breathing normally.
Good.
Feel any tension in the body melting away,
Starting in your arms.
Let any tension in the arms go,
And the legs.
Let any tension in the legs melt away.
Nice.
One of the most important steps in learning to listen to your body is to respect it.
So say to your body now,
I love you body.
I will take care of you always.
I trust you to take care of me,
And I promise to listen and give you what you ask for.
I cherish you body.
I will treat you with love and care for as long as we live together.
Breathing deeply,
Feeling the power of this message that you've sent to your body.
It is so important that you commit to removing any negative thoughts that you have about your body,
And replacing them with more positive ones,
And begin to notice the negative things that you commonly say about your body.
Now turn those thoughts around,
And say something positive instead.
You can do it.
Good.
You are making powerful progress towards loving your body.
Now place your hand over your heart,
And feel the sense of touch under your fingertips.
Notice how you can feel your heart beating.
Now tune in to what your body is telling you.
Is it relaxed,
Or tense,
Hungry,
Thirsty?
How are you feeling physically,
Mentally,
Emotionally?
Notice if there's any part that is holding tension,
Or is tight,
Or stiff,
And just listen.
Breathe in deeply,
And say to yourself,
I release any tension.
Imagine that the tension in your body is melting away.
Breathing deeply,
Continue to feel the power of this message that you've sent your body.
Continue to breathe in deeply,
And repeat,
I release any tension.
I release any tension.
I release any tension.
Continue to take a deep cycle of breath,
And slowly wiggle your fingers and toes,
Taking your time to come back to the room that you're in.
Gently open your eyes,
And may you carry this message into your day.
Blessings,
Dear ones.
Namaste.
