Hello and welcome. This is a beautiful self-love body scan. So I want to welcome you here, Wherever you're joining from, Just taking a moment to arrive. Allow your body to settle in a position that feels supportive to you. Allow your hands to rest softly, Jaw unclenched and your tongue relaxed. Gently close your eyes. Now bring a soft awareness to your breath without changing it. Just notice, Noticing the natural rhythm, The inhale, Exhale. With every breath, I want you to draw to mind or imagine that you're placing something down. Perhaps effort, Expectation or holding in your body. You're safe to be here. And I want you to allow yourself to receive. So just coming to feel the weight of your body on the surface that it's being held. Ground down to the earth beneath everything. Let gravity do the work. Nothing to hold, Nothing to do. Just simply noticing the aliveness inside you right now. And then let's gently bring our awareness to the crown of the head. Just imagining a soft spaciousness here.

Inviting space between each and every vertebra of the spine. Bringing attention to your shoulders. Just noticing what they've been carrying.

Feel into your shoulders as a beautiful awareness flows down your upper arms, Your elbows, Your forearms. Gently trickling down into the palms of your hands. Feeling into the temperature, The tingling, The sensations, Subtle energy as it arrives into your palms and floats to the end of each fingertip. Your hands that give, That share, That serve. Let them receive now. Coming back to the space of your heart. Gently bringing your attention to the center of your chest. Notice the subtle movements of shift as the breath lives here. The rise, The fall. If it feels right for you, I want you to imagine, To see or to sense a warmth, Perhaps a gentle light filling this space. And as you imagine this beautiful light, This beautiful space, Just bringing to mind the words, I am worthy of love without condition. I am worthy of love without condition, And you are. Feel into the back of the heart, Noticing your ribs as they expand and soften with the breath. The breath moving in all directions, Front, Back, Sides of the chest.

And are the words, Like your breath, To move throughout the space in your belly, I trust the wisdom within me. Such a powerful offering.
