Welcome to today's practice.
Let's begin by rolling your neck,
Your shoulders,
Your wrists,
Your ankles,
Maybe even giving your body a twist,
Allowing yourself to be connected with your body and to be here now.
When you're ready,
You can come to stillness.
If you haven't yet,
You can close your eyes or gaze down,
And bringing your awareness to your nose,
Feeling the air as it enters your nostrils and as it exits.
Perhaps you can even notice the change in temperature as it enters and exits your nose.
Allow your breath to ground you and give yourself permission to be here now.
On your next in-breath,
I invite you to bring your hand to your heart space and repeat to yourself,
I promise to honor what makes me perfectly imperfect.
Simply notice what thoughts,
What stories,
What ideas come forward when you reflect on your perfect imperfections.
How might you be kinder to yourself today?
How might you delight in these characteristics of yourself?
Give yourself full permission to be human.
And in closing,
Let's take a deep inhalation in,
Hold it at the top,
And a big exhalation out.
Remember,
Today is the day to honor what makes you perfectly imperfect.
You got this.
