LOVING YOUR BODY MEDITATION

This week's blog is about LOVING YOUR BODY ... I have just come back from the Seven Sisters Festival in Mt Martha. It is a unique festival because it is an all female event. Sorry guys ... :-) 
I worked on a market stall doing Angel card readings, Reiki energy healing, Bowen therapy and some massage - with my friend Susie (who owns Aromanurture - essential oils products and is a Myotherapist).
It was an intense 4 days and I met some amazing, heart-centred, strong, sensitive, warrior women. Feeling VERY blessed.
I also experienced some very special Sound Healing sessions, yoga classes and meditations that were beautiful. 
I'd like to share one of the meditations with you. 
**NOTE - I will be doing this meditation tonight on FB live at 6.30pm - it will be recorded so if you miss it you can watch it later. 
It is called the 'I love my body' meditation.
First, find a quiet space to lie down and relax. Make sure you are warm and comfortable. You will need about 10 minutes. But you could extend the time if you wish. 
Then, as you close your eyes, start to connect with your breath. Breathing in deeply and out deeply. Try to make your out breath longer than your in breath. This will tell your nervous system to calm down and chill out. 
Then, move your attention to you toes and your feet. Feel them. Sense them. Honour them for grounding you firmly to the earth. 
And say outloud: "I love you feet." ... "I love you feet!"  Breathe deeply. Feel the energy of the words resonate in the feet. 
Move your attention to your legs. Feel them. Sense them. Honour them for holding you up and being your strong tree trunks that allow you to walk and move and dance. 
And say out loud: "I love you legs" ... "I love you legs!" Breathe deeply.
Move your attention to your hips and pelvis. Feel them. Sense them. Honour them for keeping you balanced and being your centre for creativity and fertility.
And say out loud: "I love you pelvis" ... "I love you pelvis!" Breathe deeply.
Move your attention to your organs in your torso. Feel them. Sense them. Honour them for helping you to digest your food, breathe air, pump blood through your body to live fully.
And say out loud: "I love you organs." ... "I love you organs." Breathe deeply. 
Move your attention to your spine. Feel it. Sense it. Honour it for being literally the back bone of your life and allowing you to stand up strong in your power. 
And say out loud: "I love you spine." ... "I love you spine!" Breathe deeply.
Move your attention to your head. Feel it. Sense it. Honour it for being the birth place of all your ideas, for holding your brain and from where you speak your truth. 
And say out loud: "I love you head." ... "I love you head!" Breathe deeply.
Move your attention to your whole body. Feel it. Sense it. Honour it for being an amazing, strong, sensitive, powerful, magical, beautiful creation. 
And say out loud: "I love you body." ... "I love you body!" ... "I LOVE YOU BODY" ... "I promise to take care of you." ... "I promise to love you." ... "I promise to nurture you." ... "I promise to move in joyful and fun ways." ...
"I promise to surround you with uplifting people." .... "I promise to think high vibrational thoughts" ... "I promise to give you more love than I give to other people." ... "I love you (your name)." ... "I love you (your name)." ... "I LOVE you (your name) ... "I REALLY love you (your name)!" 
Breathe deeply. Feel deeply. Be in your body. Honour it. It's your temple.
