Welcome to a mindfulness practice.
I'm inviting you now to allow your body to find a comfortable position.
The body knows what it needs,
What feels natural and easy.
Gently close the eyes.
There is no need to control anything here,
To perform,
To be anything or anyone.
You are invited to surrender to yourself and to this practice.
Thank you for being here for yourself.
Thank you for being willing to evolve consciously and at your own pace.
Just take a few deeper breaths to anchor yourself and your body in the position you are in.
Feel the belly,
The chest,
The lungs,
The throat and release completely.
You are now at home within.
Slowly slowing down the busyness of the external world and opening your inner eyes to scan the body from head to toes and identify if there are any tensions or holding,
Any discomfort or pain,
Making sure you bring awareness to this part,
Accept what is and bringing some love to yourself.
Just observe the body and how it feels,
Understanding that you are not choosing any pain or any discomfort,
That it is pretty natural in the body.
You cannot control it,
But with acceptance and love,
You can help healing yourself.
I'd like for you now to bring attention to your hands.
Are they soft,
Resting or are they tense and holding on to something?
Can you open your hands,
Palms up or down,
Whatever feels good for you,
But just making sure they are open.
I'd like for you to surrender more through the practice and to receive the blessings that are in store for you.
As we are anchoring ourselves more and more in the body in this moment,
I'd like for you to bring to your mind an intention for this practice.
What are you ready to receive,
To experience,
To feel?
Allow your intuition to guide you to your intention.
Once your mind knows your intention,
Gently start attuning your inner awareness to the natural frequency of your breath.
You can take one deeper in-breath and out-breath to reset.
Just gently invite your mind to observe the breath in its purest form.
Just know that the body is breathing,
That the air is entering the nostrils and exiting the nostrils.
Simply notice the breath.
Breathing consciously doesn't mean you are forcing the breath,
It means that you are noticing the natural frequency of the breath.
You are a stable observer of this activity of the body.
Just observe your body breathing.
For this practice today,
I'd like to invite you to explore your inner wisdom with self-acceptance,
Allowing what is to be as it is.
I'm inviting you here to feel how it feels to accept every part of yourself,
Every thought,
Sensation,
Emotion.
To return to a state of wholeness,
To stop fighting what you feel,
What you think,
What you dream of.
To return to a place of peace and to cultivate compassion for yourself and others.
Here is your assignment.
Keep on noticing the breath.
Whenever your attention wanders off to thinking,
Sensing,
Or feeling,
Be aware and just tell yourself,
I accept that.
And gently return to the breath.
Just be natural,
Don't force anything to come up.
Be aware of the breath.
Notice when you are not at the breath and accept what is happening.
And just naturally return to the breath.
Whatever thought is visiting the mind,
Just let it go.
Whatever thought is visiting the mind,
Tell yourself,
I accept that,
And return to noticing the breath consciously.
Fashion!
Whatever the mind or the attention picks up through the senses of the body,
Hearing,
Smelling,
Telling yourself,
I accept that,
And return to the breath.
Whatever your attention is feeling through the body,
Whatever emotion is crossing your path,
Just be aware.
Notice the vibrations,
The heat,
The heaviness or the lightness in the body,
And tell yourself,
I accept that.
Then remember the body breathing in this present moment.
Make sure you are not anticipating the next move of the mind or the next feeling in the body.
Just let it come,
Let it arise and fall on its own.
Bring awareness to this activity,
Accept it,
And return to your breath.
You are safe.
You are doing the right thing for you and you are guided.
Surrender to whatever comes up and tell yourself,
I accept that.
You you you you wherever you are in practice,
Bring acceptance to what is happening and remember the body is breathing.
It is reliable for you.
It is your home and your anchor.
Return to it.
Any ideas,
Questions Cod granting you as an individual,
The If the mind gets lost in enjoying the calm or is busy,
Just know it is either calm or busy and accept it fully with no judgement.
Then let go,
Move on,
Return to the breath.
You don't need to catch every thought or emotion,
But when you are aware of them,
Accept it.
I accept that and return to breathing.
The body continuing its work for you,
Keeping you safe and alive.
You can accept that too.
Connect again to the in and out breath with intention and I would just like for you to reflect as we are approaching the end of this practice on how it feels to accept anything that is happening within you.
Every moment and every opportunity of awareness,
How does it feel to accept yourself?
Hopefully,
You are feeling boldness within and becoming wiser while being grateful for the guidance of the breath for this practice.
Take a few deeper in and out breaths.
Take a last one,
Inhale and exhale.
Return to your senses,
Maybe wiggle the hands and the toes and whenever you are ready,
Open your eyes.
Thank you for joining.
My name is Leah and I am happy to guide you.
