Thank you for meditating with me today!

Meditation Script:

In this moment, I invite you to lie down, sit, or stand.

Feel free to keep your eyes open with the option to position yourself in front

of a mirror. If there is an area of your body you are challenged by or unhappy

with, bring to mind that area of the body. If you are positioned in front of a

mirror, bring your eyes to that place.

Keeping your attention on that area, find a few deep

breaths. Fill up the belly, feeling front and back ribs expand as you breathe

in. Feel belly and ribs return to center as you breathe fully out. Become aware

of thoughts and emotions that arrive as you hold your attention on this area of

your body. Become aware of any judgments that arrive. Lean into the awareness of

how you feel about this one area of your body.

Gently say to yourself, “I am aware of my perception. I can

shift my perception. I am of value and worthy of love despite my perception.”

Deep breath in, deep breath out. Notice how you feel. Notice if your perception

of this area of your body has shifted. Invite loving acceptance to wherever you’re

at in this moment. Once more, say to yourself, “I am aware of my perception. I

can shift my perception. I am of value and worthy of love despite my

perception.”

Whether looking in a mirror, standing, seated, or lying down,

imagine sending love and kindness in beams of blue healing light to that area

of your body you have focused on today, moving with loving awareness into your

day. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.

About the Podcast

The Meditation Well
Mini Guided Meditations for All
Each of us is a container for sensation, thought, emotion, and whole-body experience. Through guided meditation we can gain access to a deeper sense of peace and calm that exists deep within each of us. The more we meditate, the more we draw upon the well of calm within, increasing our ability to manage stress, regulate emotion, and focus.

Jess guides each 2-10 minute journey, drawing on her yoga + mindfulness meditation background to help empower all meditators from beginners to long-time practitioners to invite into their week a moment of deep observation, calm, and rest.

Join Jess 3 times per week in The Meditation Well.
