Today,
I would love to take you on an imaginary journey that allows you to connect to your body on a whole new level,
With a new perspective that lets you communicate with your body from a place of curiosity and compassion and love,
Instead of from a place of fixing and pushing.
My intention for this meditation is for you to get excited about what you can discover about your miraculous body,
And to collaborate with it,
Instead of wanting it to perform in a certain way.
So let's begin.
Imagine that on the day you were born,
You've received the custody of a human.
A beautiful human being.
A whole miracle of your own.
Just for you.
And your only real job in this life is to take care of this human.
To nurture them,
To listen to them deeply.
To understand them,
Stand up for them,
Encourage them.
To do absolutely everything in your power to have them live their best life.
A big part of our human experience is related to our body,
Yet we tend to ignore it,
To take it for granted.
Until something is not working anymore as it should.
Yet your body is so intelligent,
It's so powerful,
So miraculous.
It heals itself every second of every day.
And equally,
Your whole system,
Including your brain,
Is constantly adapting to your current circumstances,
Being rewired through your experiences,
The food you eat,
Your feelings,
Your thoughts.
It consistently creates what it perceives to be the optimal conditions for it to survive.
Your body truly is a wonderland.
It's a miracle.
And I invite you to explore it today with curiosity.
Like you're Columbus and you've just arrived in America.
Just be curious.
Where is your body holding tension?
And observe what happens when you shine your light of awareness on these places.
What happens when these places feel seen?
See if you can shower these places of tension with love.
With appreciation for holding on to all this energy,
Storing it until you can tend to it.
Because really.
.
.
How magical is that?
Maybe you can send these places a smile from your heart.
And allow them to relax at least a bit.
Because you are here right now.
Breathing.
With a beating heart.
Right here.
Right now.
Are safe.
And even these places can let go of a little bit of their tension.
And just keep observing and exploring,
Loving and appreciating.
And ask your body,
Especially these dense areas.
How can I support you today?
How can I lift the load that you have been carrying for me?
And don't jump to an answer,
But simply listen,
Stay curious.
Allow yourself to be surprised.
If nothing came through,
Let that be okay.
Maybe your body needs some time to learn to trust you again.
But know that it's a huge step that you are taking right now to reconnect with it and it will eventually open up again.
I'd love for you to repeat after me now,
Speaking directly to your body.
In your mind or out loud.
Please forgive me for all the things I have done to you that have brought on your struggles.
Please forgive me for my impatience with you.
For my high expectations of everything running smoothly,
Even when I don't take care of you.
I am sorry.
You deserve so much more.
Thank you for never giving up on me.
I choose to honor you from now on.
And to also never give up on you.
I am beginning to realize now how much I appreciate you.
My life depends on you.
I am open to listen to you before you have to shout.
And I will listen.
I am here for you from now on.
I loved you.
If any part of your body voiced any needs for you,
Commit to them,
As if your life depends on it.
Even if it's tiny things,
Even if they seem ridiculous or counterintuitive and unexpected,
These things tend to be the most powerful.
And I invite you to celebrate your body today.
It truly is a miracle.
And you get to have this one as your very own.
Isn't that amazing?
And recognize that when you look into the mirror today.
Thank you.
Are a miracle.
Have a magical beautiful day
