Hello,
Love,
And welcome.
And when you're ready,
Go ahead and find a comfortable position and close your eyes if that feels safe,
Or just soften and lower the gaze.
And take a moment to just notice,
What is it like inside?
How's my body doing right now?
And now wrap your arms around yourself like you're holding someone you love,
And you're going to stay like this for the whole practice,
So if you have to adjust this hug,
You can.
In this practice,
You're speaking directly to your body,
Words that your body may have been wanting to hear for years.
You don't have to believe them.
You don't have to make anything happen.
Just let your body hear them and notice what shows up.
I mean,
It's really important that you speak how I'm speaking to you right now,
Very kindly,
Very lovingly,
Very gently.
All right,
So your first set of precious words,
Blessings to your body are,
You are safe.
You may want to say this in your mind or say it softly,
Out loud,
As you hug yourself.
You are safe.
Keep repeating it in a way that feels authentic to you.
Now let the mantra go,
Let the affirmation go,
And just hold in yourself,
So just notice what you feel in your body.
Just presence yourself here.
Now tell your body,
I'm here.
I'm here.
I'm right here.
Continue to hug and hold yourself,
Whispering the words,
I'm here.
I am here.
Beloved body,
I am here.
And then let go of the affirmation.
Keep holding yourself.
Where do you feel that?
Where did those precious words land in your body?
Just presence that for a few moments here.
Now tell your body,
I'm listening.
I am listening.
Finding an authentic repetition to keep whispering these words to your body.
Dear body,
I am listening.
Maybe you notice that you want to start swaying.
As I say these words to my body,
I want to start to sway from left to right.
And then let go.
Take a moment here to just presence your body.
What's here right now?
Next one,
You belong.
Dear body,
You belong.
You belong.
What's going on inside?
How's the body receiving these powerful words?
You belong.
You belong.
The next one,
You don't have to perform.
Dear body,
You don't have to perform.
Hugging yourself.
Maybe the swaying continues.
And whispering the precious words.
You don't have to perform.
And then let the affirmation go and just notice any softening or any resistance showing up.
Just presence.
Presencing what's going on in your body.
The next one,
You're allowed to rest.
Dear body,
You're allowed to rest.
You're allowed to rest.
I don't know how your body's receiving that,
But as I tell my body,
You're allowed to rest.
A yawn just surfaced.
Oh,
Here's another one.
And the last one,
You are not broken.
Dear body,
You are not broken.
Find your flow here with this affirmation.
Holding your body like someone that you love.
Whispering,
You are not broken.
You are not broken.
And then let it go.
Let it all go.
Release your arms.
Blink your eyes open.
Well done,
My love.
