Music Hello gorgeous and welcome to another beautiful day.
I invite you for today's meditation session to find a comfortable seated position so that your back is straight and elongated.
You may roll your shoulders back several times,
Settling into the body,
Inviting yourself to just relax and soften,
Soften perhaps in the jaw,
The face,
The shoulders,
The neck.
Finding stillness and take three deep breaths in through the nose and out the mouth.
In through the nose and out the mouth.
Last time in through the nose and out the mouth.
I invite you if it feels right to go ahead and close the mouth,
Close the eyes and just tuning in,
Finding a slow steady cadence of the breath that feels right for you.
Perhaps initiating that victorious breath,
That seashell breath that feels the gentle air pressing on the back of the throat.
Almost as though we are breathing on a mirror to fog it up,
Creating that sound by gently breathing in the back of the throat.
As you feel this calmness washing over you,
I invite you to visualize that you are in a temple,
An elite machine,
A vessel to unlock the greatest mysteries of life.
Reflecting on this beautiful unique body and how it is the one you will ever have.
From this point of view,
It is our honor and our privilege to care for this body to the best of our ability.
As such,
We rise above momentary temptation easily.
We recognize that processed foods will only satiate the mouth.
We know the secret that we are what we eat,
So it does not serve us to be fast,
Cheap or easy.
But rather,
We choose to fuel our bodies with whole based foods that are rich and packed full of nutrients.
That we can easily make a choice that serves us on this journey as we recognize the beautiful and long road ahead will be greatly impacted by our ability to use this body to get us to our goals.
This body is a key,
A key to adventure,
To evolution,
To fun,
To success,
For it will carry us to new distant lands.
It will spike a volleyball across the net,
Ascend a mountain,
Run after our children,
Our friends,
Dance the night away,
Travel the world.
It is the body that does so much for us and asks for so little in return.
We have the honor of being stewards of these beautiful bodies.
So remember next time you are faced with a choice.
Choose premium fuel,
Honor this body,
Choose life,
Choose vitality,
Choose joy,
Mobility,
Flexibility,
Strength,
Choose you.
For it is in these small decisions that we make every day to grab the water over the soda,
To choose salad over french fries,
To move in ways that bring us joy,
That we are choosing life,
That we are choosing to honor this beautiful body that is a gift,
That we are choosing to unlock the doors to our unlimited potential.
Bringing the hands to heart center,
Begin rubbing those palms together,
Placing those palms over your heart,
Gently tuck your chin and find gratitude in yourself for choosing to be here in this moment,
For choosing to build the foundation of this healthy and happy lifestyle,
For choosing you.
When you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes and continue to choose you.
