Welcome to Pure Life Therapy and this guided meditation for loving your body.
Throughout the meditation,
You are invited to close your eyes or have a soft gaze forward if that is comfortable for you.
Meditations can be done sitting,
Lying down,
Or even standing.
Whatever you feel is right for you.
If at any time you find the mind is wandering,
Gently smile at yourself and simply return your focus to your breath or back to the guidance.
When you're ready,
With the breath,
Gently close the eyes or gazing softly forward.
We will begin by taking three deeper than normal breaths.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Letting go of the day.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Releasing any thoughts or worries.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Knowing that you're exactly where you need to be in this moment.
Returning the breath to a natural rhythm,
Bringing the awareness to the body,
Feeling the sensation of the breath as it moves in and out of the body.
Noticing the rise and fall of the chest with each inhalation and exhalation.
Bringing the focus to the sensation of the breath as it flows in the nostrils,
The back of the throat,
Inflates the lungs,
Deflates the lungs,
Up the back of the throat,
And out the nostrils.
Focusing on this sensation for a few moments.
Now,
If it feels right for you,
Bringing the attention to the physical body.
Visualizing yourself surrounded by a warm,
Loving light that envelops you completely.
This light represents the inherent beauty and worthiness of your body,
Exactly as it is in this moment.
This light can be any color you choose.
Whatever color represents healing love to you.
Red.
Orange.
Yellow.
Green.
Blue.
Purple.
Silver.
Gold.
Or even a clear light.
Whatever color you choose is exactly the right one for you.
Imagining this light filled with love and gratitude above you.
This light will start to gently drift down through each part of the body,
Starting at the top of the head and working our way down to the toes.
If any area feels difficult,
This is perfectly natural.
Give yourself a small smile,
Some grace,
And send yourself some love from this healing light.
Allowing this light above you to gently drift down towards the head.
Breathing in a healing,
Loving light.
And on the exhale,
This loving light grows and grows.
Directing the attention to the shoulders and neck.
Breathing in a loving light.
And on the exhale,
The love grows.
Next is the chest and upper back.
Breathing in a healing,
Loving light.
And on the exhale,
This love grows and grows.
Arms.
Breathing in this healing,
Loving light.
And on the exhale,
The love,
The light,
It grows and grows.
Abdomen and mid-back.
Breathing in a loving,
Healing light.
And on the exhale,
This radiant light grows.
Pelvic region.
Breathing in a healing,
Loving light.
And on the exhale,
This love,
It grows and grows.
Legs.
Breathing in this healing,
Loving light.
And on the exhale,
The radiant love grows and grows.
Feet.
Breathing in a loving,
Healing light.
And on the exhale,
This healing light grows.
Imagining here roots of light growing down into the earth.
The body as a whole.
Visualizing your whole body.
Breathing in love.
Filling every muscle,
Bone,
And organ with radiant and beautiful love and kindness.
As you are breathing,
Offering these words of kindness and appreciation.
My body is strong,
Resilient,
And capable of amazing things.
I am grateful for all that my body allows me to experience and accomplish.
I embrace my curves and edges knowing that they make me unique and beautiful.

As you continue to send love to your body,
Radiating with this beautiful,
Healing light,
Remind yourself that you are worthy of love and acceptance exactly as you are.
Embracing this concept of body positivity,
Celebrating the diversity and uniqueness that makes you,
You.
Now,
Bringing the attention to the choices you make regarding your body and health.
With each breath,
Affirm your commitment to making choices that honor and nourish your body,
Repeating these affirmations to yourself.
I choose to nourish my body with healthy foods that support my well-being.
I commit to moving my body in ways that feel joyful and energizing.
I honor my body's need for rest and relaxation.

I honor my body's need for rest and relaxation.
As you affirm these choices,
Reminding yourself that it's okay to be gentle with yourself.
Embrace the concept of self-compassion,
Knowing that you are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them.
Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would offer to a dear friend.
Now,
If it feels right for you,
Taking a few moments to simply be present with your body and your breath.
Observing that this healing radiant light can be there for you in a moment's notice.
Simply breathe and fill yourself with love,
Compassion,
Kindness.
Allowing yourself to bask in the warmth of self-love and acceptance.
Knowing that you are worthy of love,
Respect,
And kindness,
Both from yourself and from others.
If it feels right for you,
Gently bringing your focus back onto the sensations of the breath flowing in and out of the nostrils.
Feeling the sensation of the air flowing into and out of the body.
Inhale the love and acceptance you've cultivated for your body,
And exhale any lingering doubts or insecurities.
Having an awareness of the body where it is,
Taking a moment to express gratitude to yourself for carrying the sense of love and acceptance with you into the rest of your day.
May this meditation guide you toward a deeper appreciation and love for your body,
While also encouraging you to make choices that support your overall well-being.
You deserve to feel as wonderful as you want to feel.
You deserve to feel as wonderful as you choose to feel.
Starting to adjust the body,
Perhaps wiggling the fingers and toes,
And when you're ready,
With the breath gently opening the eyes.
