Please sit comfortably. Close your eyes. And allow your mind and body to relax. Take a few full and easy breaths. As we meditate on the perfection that we already are. You are perfection. Regardless of what is happening in your life, Your body, And your mind. You are exactly who you were supposed to be. Sometimes. It can feel difficult to see our perfection because of the stories we've accumulated along the way. These are stories about our behavior, Our actions, Our choices, The conditions of our body, And the state of our minds. When these stories repeat themselves over and over. We can forget the perfection within us. We forget that our lives are filled with choices and opportunities. We can forget that despite the challenges we faced, We have gotten so many things right. Let's honor this now by taking a moment to recall one such time you chose to give care to yourself. It may even just be a few moments ago at the time you chose this meditation. Whatever it is. Take a moment to breathe and appreciate that choice. The stories that we create, Right or wrong, Good or bad, Reflect what we believe ourselves to be. They're ever-changing. Our essential nature, However, Doesn't change. It's always here. And it is the nature of perfection itself. You are this perfection, Regardless of the stories and modifications that you create. Just for now. Let's let go of the stories. Whatever condition your body is in at the moment. Shift your attention to the peace within you. Let all stories about the body fall away. Maybe the story is about the size or shape of your body. Maybe the story is in the form of a diagnosis. Maybe the story is about how to change the body. Note which stories are stifling you. Which ones are holding you back? Which ones are judging you? And one by one. Let them fall away. Take a moment now in silence to feel the peace that is always within you, Regardless of the stories surrounding the body. As you integrate this feeling of peace, Know that acceptance of the body does not imply hopelessness or lack of action. It doesn't mean that you stop aiming for greater health and vitality. Acceptance simply means seeing things as they are in this moment. See the body as it is right now, Without judgment. Now let's move to the mind. Whatever condition your mind is in at this moment. Shift your attention to the peace within you. Just for now, There is no need to change the mind. There's no need to wrestle with the mind. Let it jump, Wiggle, Doubt. And generally do whatever it needs to do. Just as the owner of a dog may allow the dog to wander here and there on its daily walk. Allow your mind to wander here and there as it wishes. This is accepting the mind as it is. Let all stories about what the mind should be doing. Which thoughts are appropriate or inappropriate, Or the need to silence the mind just to fall away? Feel the witnessing peace that is you. Recognizing the state of the mind. This piece is changeless, Perfect you. Let's take a moment to be in stillness and silence with this perfection. As we honor our perfection, Let's now cultivate gratitude. Feel a sense of appreciation for all your body does for you. Regardless of the condition the body is in now. It's carrying out innumerable functions perfectly in this very moment. Thank your heart for beating. Your lungs for breathing. Your feet for carrying you everywhere you need to go. Now allow this appreciation that has filled your body to also fill your mind. The judgment is falling away. The stories are falling away. The struggle is falling away. Everything you need to meet life is here. Feel the sense of appreciation for all that you are steadily growing, Rising, Filling you. Your inner perfection is shining through. Let's spend a few minutes in silence. Be aware of your breath. And feel the perfection flowing through your body, Filling every cell. Feel it fill in your mind. Breathe this perfection into every thought, Every emotion. Be this perfection. Take a few deeper breaths. And when you're ready. Let your eyes just softly open. As you go through your day, Appreciate the time that you've just taken to care for yourself. Carry this appreciation with you. Allow it to nurture your thoughts, Feelings, And actions. And always remember. You. Are already perfection. Namaste.
