Body Scan Meditation
In this guided Body Scan Meditation we bestow the amazing gift of gratitude upon our whole body to appreciate, nurture, restore and regenerate every cell of our being. This is more than a relaxation meditation, it offers an opportunity for healing on all levels.
There is much written about the impact of gratitude upon our mental and emotional health, but did you know that gratitude can be good for our physical health also?
“Studies have shown that being thankful can improve sleep, mood and immunity. Gratitude can also decrease depression, anxiety, difficulties with chronic pain and risk of disease.” Source: Can expressing gratitude improve your mental, physical health?
Expressing gratitude for our bodies does not come easy for many of us. We are programmed to criticise our imperfections: too fat, too thin, too wrinkly, too short, too tall, too old, greying and so forth. But how often do we stop to acknowledge what our bodies are doing for us each day? Sure, we may struggle with illness and aches and pains at times, yet our body does the best that it can. Just think for a moment about all that we put our bodies through, often with little or no appreciation! Each time we judge our body, we add greater weight to our own suffering.
Body Scan Meditation
In this body scan meditation we utilise the powerful transformative Ho’oponopono Mantra to shift from our habitual judgement and criticism of our body to truly appreciating all that it endures as it carries us through life.
Our bodies are by no means perfect, but in this guided meditation we shine the light into each part of our body to illuminate our inner perfection. Gratitude offers a pathway to healing on all levels.
“Gratitude…can be an incredibly powerful and invigorating experience,” says researcher Jeff Huffman. “There is growing evidence that being grateful may not only bring good feelings. It could lead to better health.”
This Body Scan Meditation with Gratitude can be done each day and refreshed throughout the day as you move through your regular activities. A tremendous way to cultivate more gratitude in your life.
