Your Body As A Friend

We often have a conflicted relationship with our bodies. We judge them and find them lacking compared to some ideal form. We resent their aches and pains and their limitations. In short, we begrudge them and treat them almost as enemies. But the truth is that your body shows up for you every day, even if it's in pain. So bearing that in mind, we can treat the body as a friend and show it some gratitude.

Outstanding! I do a number if your meditations And thank you for them. This one is particularly fabulous because I am struggling with a number of health issues as are my daughter and granddaughters as is so deeply comforting to shift from panic and battling body functioning to waves of kindness. I’ve been meditating in various forms for 50 years and it is a moment of delight to discover something new. I particularly like the soft eyes, kind eyes – it really does shape one’s an entire state. thank you

Lovely, thank you. And helpful; I got an intense itch towards the end but was able to thank my skin for doing its best.

As usual, a sacred experience.
This was perfectly timed to be offered for me.
Yesterday I had some cancer removed which will require further treatment.
I have been (understandably) focused on what's "wrong" with my body for awhile.
A blessing to move back to gratitude and wonder for my body, and be with that in silence and stillness.
🙏

As always Bodhipaksa gives us a straightforward meditation that is well paced and insightful
