Today we will practice a short body scan,
Moving our attention throughout the body and offering ourselves some loving kindness just as best as we can.
Beginning by checking in with the breath,
Taking a full deep breath in and a deep breath out.
A deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Bringing some gentle awareness to the top of your head,
Your face,
Your neck and your shoulders.
All tension melting away as we just gently and kindly say to our bodies,
Hello body,
I love you.
Bringing your awareness down to the arms,
The elbows,
The wrists and your hands.
Thank you body,
I love you.
Feeling now the back of the body,
The front of the body,
Sensing yourself seated wherever you are.
Thank you body,
I love you.
Feeling the contact of your legs with the chair or the surface beneath you.
Feeling your upper legs,
Knees,
Lower legs,
Ankles and the feet.
Noticing perhaps if there's any places that are calling for some love and attention and awareness right now.
Thank you body,
I love you.
Taking a moment now for yourself to reflect on the fact that sometimes loving our bodies isn't always easy or natural and that right now there are lots of people just like you who might be having a hard time and that's okay.
Just as best as you can offering yourself and your body a sense of calmness,
Self-compassion and gratefulness for what our bodies do for us each and every day.
Taking a nice deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Letting this meditation just wash all over you.
Thank you body,
I love you.
