Here's a practice to appreciate and help heal the beautiful body.
We sometimes forget that the body knows how to heal if the conditions are appropriate.
And our role as custodians and friends to the body is to cultivate those conditions and to clean up the conditions if they aren't contributing to the body's natural healing potential.
So for this practice,
I encourage you to lie down or make yourself comfortable in some delicious way.
Let your body rest,
Soften your arms and legs,
Tune into the weight of your feet and hands,
And let your head be supported,
And feel the weight of the head.
And as you settle your body,
See if there's a way that you can let yourself become maybe 5 or 10% more comfortable.
And so as we begin,
Let's just recognize that the intention for this practice is to affirm our knowing that healing happens,
That it's divine within us.
It's a power innate to our bodies.
So we might allow ourselves to accept as truth the experience that we've all had when we have a cut and the body knows just what to do to heal it.
And of course,
That doesn't free us of the responsibility to take good care,
To keep clean,
To be cautious as we heal,
To do our best to avoid further injury.
But in the restful state,
The body knows just what to do to become whole,
Pure,
And perfect,
This wonderful divine power within us.
And so let's be guided by that wisdom now.
And so let's become aware of sensation in the feet.
Bring your awareness to the feet,
Please.
And just notice the feet as pure sensation and acknowledge in that sensation the divine healing energy.
And you might like to say thank you.
And now feeling into the ankles as sensation,
Acknowledging that sensation as divine,
Radiant,
Healing energy.
Thank you to this divine energy.
And bring your awareness now to the lower legs,
All sensation.
Thank you to the divine,
Healing,
Life-word energy.
And the knees,
Wonderful knees,
Alive with sensation.
Thank you to the life-giving,
Divine,
Healing energy in the knees.
And now the thighs,
Sensation.
Thank you to the divine,
Healing energy,
Alive,
Restoring.
And the hips,
The hips,
The groin,
And pelvis,
Alive with sensation,
Divine,
Healing energy,
Making the body whole in perfect ways.
And feeling into the belly and the low back,
The low back,
Mid-back,
And belly,
And the organs of the belly,
All alive with sensation,
All alive with divine,
Healing energy.
Thank you.
And the chest,
The mid-back and upper back,
And the organs of the chest,
Alive with sensation,
Vibrating with divine,
Healing energy.
And the shoulders,
Pure sensation,
Pure,
Divine energy,
Knows just how to heal,
To make whole.
Thank you.
And the arms,
The elbows and wrists,
Sensation,
Alive with divine,
Healing energy,
Full of life,
Moving lifeward.
And the hands,
So alive with sensation,
So alive with healing energy.
Thank you.
And the neck,
The neck is sensation and pure,
Healing energy.
And the head,
The jaw,
The cheeks,
The brow,
And the organs of the head,
The ears,
Eyes,
The mouth and nose,
All alive with sensation,
Vibrating with divine,
Healing energy.
Thank you.
Now the whole body,
From the scalp all the way down to the soles of the feet,
The whole body of sensation,
The sensation of divine,
Healing energy.
It knows just what to do to make whole,
To heal,
To restore.
Tune in and feel and thank this brilliant,
Divine,
Healing energy.
Every cell of the body,
Alive,
Healing.
The whole of this divine energy within us,
The whole of this divine energy surrounds us,
Envelops us.
Rest in awareness of this perfect,
Healing power,
Appreciating how it makes you whole,
Pure,
Perfect in this moment.
And now with a nice breath,
Begin to feel your way back,
Returning,
Feeling this energy alive within you,
Feeling the power of your wisdom,
Knowing this healing energy alive in you,
And of the trust,
The faith in this energy,
Divine,
And let it heal you.
Every moment as you come back and move through the day,
This energy heals you.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking a moment to do this practice.
I hope it's helpful and I appreciate you.
You are well,
You are happy,
And you are whole.
