Welcome to the Soul Infused Monday Show.
Today episode number 227.
And today's show is a Soul Infused Monday Show on the go.
That means I'm currently traveling and because I'm going to be in a plane on my regular time that I'm going live,
I am pre-recording this for you in Fort Lauderdale before I go on a plane to Costa Rica.
And I'm going to give you a short today.
It's more like a Soul Infused Monday message for the week.
And I was meditating this morning tuning in what is the message for today,
For this week,
For this moment in time.
And it is a very foundational,
A very basic,
A very neglected tool.
And it's about your body.
When I was tuning in this morning and I was meditating and I was tuning into what am I going to share with you today,
What will benefit you today,
What will be in your highest good today,
The first thing that came up is relax your body.
And I'm going to dive a little bit deeper into it because it's very quickly that we often dismiss it.
The most basic foundational things we often dismiss.
Now,
Whether you are aware of it right now or not,
Your body has tension.
You are holding tension right now in your body.
Some of the areas you might be more aware and some of the areas you might not be aware at all.
Before I even dive deeper into the topic of today,
Take a deep breath.
You can even close your eyes for a moment unless you're driving.
And tune into your body and scan for a moment.
Where are you holding tension?
The question is not are you holding tension?
You are holding tension.
The question is where.
It can be current up-to-date tension.
The last years have been very challenging for many of us,
But the body also remembers and the body remembers and stores tension from the past.
It can be very subtle.
It doesn't have to be that you are in pain physically.
It doesn't mean that you are limited in your range of motion,
But for a moment and I'm going to give you a moment where you can also be in silence for for yeah,
Just for a moment so that you can tune in.
Tune into your body.
Close your eyes if you can and consciously set the intention to relax your body in this moment.
And tune in.
Where are you noticing that there is tension in your body?
Could be your neck,
Maybe your shoulders.
Maybe it's the muscles in on your face.
Maybe it's your chest.
Just keep exploring.
And even if you keep your eyes open,
Even if you're driving or if you are busy doing something,
Internally go and check your body,
Use your breath and consciously relax your body.
Even though most everyone understands and knows that being relaxed in your body and taking care of your body is crucial for health and well-being.
It's one of the most neglected areas.
Whether you are a conscious person or intentional or take care of yourself.
We all do it at some point or another and maybe this is also coming up for me more noticeable because I'm traveling.
But I also know when we are not traveling or when we are not in an obvious stressful situation that our body holds tension from the past from the current and you can consciously set the intention to relax it.
And while I'm talking I'm inviting you to keep doing it.
Keep taking breaths.
Relax your base chakra.
You can even do something very simple and you can keep your hands.
You can keep your hands on your legs,
For example,
And relax your hands very consciously.
What I'm also inviting you for today and this week,
Body awareness.
And I'm not talking about how does my body look.
It's how does my body feel,
How relaxed.
It's about body awareness about how relaxed is your body.
For example,
One thing and you are most likely not aware of it because unless or until we pay attention,
We are on autopilot,
All of us.
How many times are you maybe sitting somewhere and you're moving something?
For example,
Your foot taps up and down or your hands or we cringe something.
I do it.
Everybody does.
And then you take a deep breath and you relax that area again.
Of course,
In order to have a healthy and relaxed body,
There is much more to it.
You want to nurture it with food.
You want to hydrate it with water.
You want to move it.
You want to stretch it.
You want to take quality time to be with your body,
With kindness,
With love,
With acceptance.
And pay attention to talk to your body,
To breathe,
To be aware and to be grateful.
Not for how it looks,
But also for the function,
How our organs and glands and body parts function.
And we so often focus on those that are not functioning,
Focusing on those that we don't like.
Even if you're going through a very painful physical disease right now,
Or you are having health issues and you are in pain,
And there's certain areas in your body that are in pain.
I pinched a nerve,
So I'm in pain in my neck right now.
And we have the tendency to focus on that constantly.
And in that moment,
We completely dismiss all the other body parts and functional organs or even our fingers only or our legs.
Something does function in your body or your digestion.
You are breathing,
So your lungs are working.
Your heart is beating right now.
Otherwise,
You wouldn't look at me.
You wouldn't listen to me.
You wouldn't be here right now.
When was the last time you took a moment to talk to your body to have gratitude for your heart because it's beating?
When was the last time you tune into your lungs for the fact that they're creating oxygen and you are breathing that keeps you alive?
When was the last time you say thanks or you were grateful for your digestive system that is allowing you to detoxify?
When was the last time you looked at your little finger and you said,
Wow,
I'm so happy that I have all my fingers.
And if you don't have all your fingers,
Something else in your body that you have.
When was the last time you tuned in for a moment,
You stopped,
You paused,
You looked at something and you consciously had a moment of gratitude for the fact that you have vision and maybe you don't have vision,
But you are hearing,
You're hearing me right now.
When was the last time you stopped to be grateful for that?
All I'm saying is for this week's message and inspiration to live a self-infused life.
Have body awareness,
Gratitude,
And compassion and kindness for the things that are working in your body,
For everything that your body is doing for you on a daily basis,
And to consciously choose every day,
Whenever you remember to relax your body physically.
And if you are in pain and it's hard to relax,
Focus on one area of your body that is not in pain,
Or one organ and simply relax into that as much as you can.
It doesn't have to be perfect.
One step at a time,
One moment at a time.
So for today,
Soul Infused Monday is about relaxing your body,
Having body awareness,
Treat,
Nurture,
Take care of your body,
Feed it with positivity,
With love,
With gentleness,
With kindness,
With fun.
Move,
Sing,
Look at something beautiful,
Read something beautiful,
Do something to nurture your body,
Stretch it,
Dance,
Whatever works for you.
But most importantly,
Have the consciousness and the intentionality to pay attention to your body,
To talk to your body,
And to relax your body as a loving act of kindness.
So this is my message for you for today,
For the Soul Infused Monday On The Go.
I wish you a fantastic and relaxed start to your week.
Be mindful,
Set yourself reminders every day,
Something,
It could be a note,
A post-it or a reminder on your phone.
Relax your body.
Relax your body.
Breathe and relax your body.
When you have a body that is relaxed,
You will handle any situation in a better mindful,
Conscious way,
And it will make a difference throughout the rest of your day.
