Closing your eyes.
And just letting go.
The body settle with all these.
Vibrations and all these ideas and all these acceptances.
Feeling the breath for just a moment.
If your mind has already wandered,
Just accept that and come back to the breath.
Accepting the judging mind if the mind is judging,
Accepting the wandering mind if the mind is wandering,
And just returning to the breath.
And again,
For a moment,
Just feeling into the body.
Feeling into the aliveness of your body.
And saying to the body,
I accept you as you are.
Body,
I accept you.
As you are.
And now imagine feeling into the mind.
Our creative minds,
Our busy minds,
Our monkey brains,
Feeling into that whole bouquet in the mind.
And say to your mind,
I accept you as you are.
And now again,
Placing your hand on your heart,
Maybe both hands on your heart,
Our loving hearts and our heartbroken hearts.
Our wounded hearts,
Our strong hearts,
Our fragile hearts,
Our beating hearts.
Feeling into the heart.
And saying,
I accept you,
Heart,
As you are.
And I accept you heart where you are.
And you can put that hand down or keep it there if it feels good.
Sending the intention.
May I offer the gift of acceptance to others.
May this heart offer the gift of acceptance to all others.
May this heart offer the beautiful I accept.
To anyone I come in contact with,
Whether a person or a situation or a cat.
Or the weather.
May I offer all that is around me my beautiful acceptance.
And just noticing how it feels to set that intention.
And know that you are connected to the whole group in their setting of this intention also.
Setting this intention for the week.
Of seeing what's in front of you and saying,
I accept.
As an act of self-compassion,
As an act of resilience.
Staying with that intention as you listen to the sound of the bell.
