Put your hands on your heart,
And let's set this intention together.
So with your hand on your chest,
Close your eyes.
For a moment,
Tune into the breath in silence.
Having tuned into the breath,
With those hands still on the heart,
Say,
Dear body,
I am here to listen to you and serve you.
Body thank you.
Maybe for some parts of my life,
I acted like your enemy.
I may have taken pills to ignore you or to erase your messages.
I might have ignored your boundaries or kept consuming you.
Now I know that that is just ego.
Body,
Forgive me.
I want to be friends.
Body,
I'm here to listen to you with an open heart.
I will take care of you.
I will notice how you feel.
I will do what's best for you.
Because what's best for you is best for me.
I want to help you heal in every cell,
And let's begin a strong,
Loving friendship.
And let the shoulders release,
Let the chest relax,
Let the sit bones ground,
Feel the beating heart,
And say,
Body,
Thank you.
My body,
I love you.
And I am here for you unconditionally.
And now thank yourself for this practice,
And take the spirit,
The meditation with you.
Open your eyes and feel this willingness to collaborate with your body.
Take a deep breath in,
And a deep breath out through the mouth.
