Welcome to the Body Connection Meditation.
Start by finding a comfortable seat and see if you can be even more comfortable.
When you are ready I'd like to invite you to look around.
Notice the colors around you,
The objects around you,
Smells,
Sounds and the temperature of the room.
Even if it feels right I encourage you to close your eyes and turn within.
Feel the weight of your body on the surface beneath you.
Feel the presence of your body.
Take a deep breath in,
Hold at the top and deep breath out.
Once again deep breath in,
Hold at the top and deep breath out.
Last one,
Deep breath in,
Hold at the top and deep breath out.
Now I'd like to invite you to salute your body through touch,
Showing that you feel its presence.
Start by touching your own hands.
Feel the fingers interlacing each other,
Feel the skin touching itself and feel your hands massaging each other.
Finally bring your hands to the top of the head and feel your head in between your hands.
Feel the touch of your hands in your head,
The hair in between your fingers.
The forehead and the face.
Change your face at your own pace.
When you're ready slide your hands towards your neck.
Feel the touch of your hands in your neck and massage your neck at your own pace.
Move your hands towards your chest.
Feel the presence of your chest,
Feel the hands touching.
Massage your chest at your own pace.
How does your chest feel today?
Yours expanded,
Constricted,
At peace.
While you slowly touch the rest of your body,
Repeat after me in your own mind or out loud the following affirmations.
I see you.
I feel you.
I hear you.
I respect you.
I honor you.
I love you.
Observe the impact of your words on your body.
It might be a little bit more relaxed,
Expanded,
Perhaps calmer.
Now I would like to invite you to name three reasons why you are grateful for your body today.
Maybe you are grateful that your body allows you to be here today.
Maybe you are grateful that your body allows you to dance,
To eat,
To run and to swim in the ocean.
Slowly,
I invite you to come back to the room.
Feel the weight of your body on the surface beneath you,
Moving your feet,
Your hands and open your eyes.
Take a deep breath in,
Hold at the top and a deep breath out.
Observe once again your surroundings,
Take your time to come back to the room.
Thank yourself for being here.
Thank your body for being here for you.
Thank you.
Namaste.
