Transcript

Choose if you'd like to sit or lay down for this practice.

As you bring your body into a comfortable position,

Place one hand on your belly and one hand on your chest.

Let your breath flow naturally without trying to breathe in any particular way.

Visualize the experience of taking this time for yourself.

It might be welcomed or there might be some resistance.

Visualize your experience and know that by spending these moments to connect to yourself,

You're doing something good to take care of yourself.

We'll repeat three phrases to care for ourselves.

May I be kind to myself.

May I feel connected with all beings.

May I love myself just as I am.

May I be kind to myself.

May I feel connected with all beings.

May I love myself just as I am.

May I be kind to myself.

May I feel connected with all beings.

May I love myself just as I am.

Continue repeating these words,

Paying attention to any reaction in your body or mind and trying to remain as relaxed and at ease as possible.

Release the words and tune into the effects of this practice.

Let your body start to move however it wants to move.

And when you're ready,

Mindfully transition back into your day.
