If you're experiencing physical pain,
I invite you to join me in this gentle resting practice.
Will acknowledge the pain and get curious about it.
And all for ourselves.
Some extra love and care.
We'll be lying down,
So grab a few pillows and a blanket for comfort.
Let's start.
Get comfortable in a lying down position.
Take your time during this process.
And let your body position shift.
As much or as little as your body needs to in this practice.
Notice the supports you have around you,
Your blankets,
Pillows,
The support of the floor or bed or couch.
And notice your breath.
If at any point.
You start to feel overwhelmed Focus on your comfort.
And come back.
To your breath if somewhere in your body feels good.
Let's notice that.
Continuing to settle here.
As we begin to acknowledge the pain.
Let's hold the assumption.
That you're not bad or wrong.
Your pain is not bad or wrong.
And that your body is doing.
The best it can to manage lots of things.
So now let's start to acknowledge any pain that you're present to.
Noticing where it is.
Bringing your breath with you wherever we go,
Remembering to breathe.
How is it to bring attention to your pain?
On purpose.
Does it feel hard to notice?
Does it feel far away?
Or very near.
Remembering to breathe here together.
Notice the quality of the sensation.
Is there a heat?
Or a coolness.
Is the sensation sharp or dull?
Does it move around?
Or is it constant and still?
Notice whatever you notice.
About the pain,
The sensations there.
Remembering to breathe.
Perhaps sending your breath.
To that part of your body or those parts of your body.
Imagine breathing into it.
Are there any emotions that emerge?
As you point your awareness on this sensation.
Is there anger or frustration?
Grease.
Shame.
Or anything else.
Remembering your inhale and exhale.
Always coming back to your breath to support yourself in being present.
Without overwhelm.
Now let's send ourselves some love.
Sending love to wherever in the body.
Could use some extra care.
In your mind's eye.
Imagine.
An emerald green ball of light.
Right.
In front of you.
This ball of light represents love.
Once you have this image in your awareness.
Or mind's eye With your intention,
Send this emerald green ball of love light to your body.
See it there,
Deepening,
Expanding.
Loving you.
Just the way you are.
Let's linger here for a couple of breaths.
With every breath.
Letting yourself take in love.
As we come to a close.
Remember.
That you can always meet yourself here.
Acknowledging.
The pain.
And sending yourself love and care.
Through your breath.
And intention.
Rethink your body.
Thank yourself.
Thank you.
