Bell Bringing your attention and awareness to your body into this moment.
Aware of the weight of your body on the chair and the pressure of your feet against the floor.
Noticing the sensations of the clothes against your skin.
Really bringing yourself into direct contact with the experience of your physical sensations so that you're fully connected.
Becoming aware that your body is breathing and following your breath for a few moments.
Without drifting off into thought if you can.
Focusing on the physical sensations of your breath.
Only this in-breath and only this out-breath.
Using your breath to settle any movement and agitation in your mind.
And relax and release any tightness and tension in your body if you can.
Then letting go of following the breath for now and asking yourself what's going on for me now.
And seeing what arises.
Maybe there's something around the tension that's already here in your body.
Associated with feelings and emotions.
Perhaps there's been a particular mood that's been hanging around or an unresolved situation.
Just bringing this to mind if you can.
And if there's nothing in particular going on for you right now then recall the recent time when you felt frustrated,
Let down,
Disappointed or a mix of different emotions.
A time when you remember being a bit hard on yourself.
Observing thoughts,
Feelings,
Physical sensations.
And as you explore what's going on for you or what's going on for you in that recent situation.
See if you can listen to the inner dialogue if you can.
What were you saying to yourself?
Using curiosity to listen carefully to the tone of your inner voice,
The attitude you had.
Getting a real sense of your relationship with it.
And then bring kindness into your experience with openness,
Compassion,
Acceptance and understanding.
Maybe imagining that you're a nurturing and wise parent or adult.
Encouraging and feeling compassion for the younger version of yourself.
Bringing kindness to the stresses and strains in your body,
The challenges and obligations you put yourself under.
Speaking kind and nurturing thoughts.
Everything is okay.
You're a wonderful human being.
Full of potential,
Life and happiness.
Always so much more than the limited sense of self you sometimes experience.
And silently repeating some phrases of loving kindness.
May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I live with ease.
May I be kind with myself and others.
May I accept myself as I am.
Feeling open and grounded.
Setting the intention to practice kindness with yourself and others and see what difference that makes.
