Meditation Script:

Here, feel free to sit or lie down or stand. Keep your eyes

open with the option to position yourself in front of a mirror or close your

eyes. Bring your attention to an area of your body you have directed negative

judgments toward. Bring to mind what it is or was about that part of your body you

don’t or didn’t like. Now, imagine your breath as beams of golden light. As you

breathe in send that light to that part of your body. Let the light illuminate

it, shine brightly on it holding no value judgments toward it. Exhaling, allow

yourself to soften toward that part of yourself you have shown ill thoughts toward.

Gently say to yourself, to that part of your body, “I accept

you as you are in this moment. I accept you as you are in this moment. I accept

you as you are in this moment.”

If you are positioned in front of a mirror and are able, look

at that part of your body. Invite a smile to your face. Give yourself permission

to smile at what you have perceived as imperfect. If you are not in front of a

mirror and are able, bring your hand to that part of your body as though giving

comfort. And once more, say, “I accept you as you are in this moment. I accept

you as you are in this moment. I accept you as you are in this moment.”

Imagine your breath as beams of golden light. Breathing in,

invite that light into your whole body, illuminating your whole being.

Breathing out, extend that light beyond yourself as your self-acceptance gives

you permission to function from a place of great confidence that will become an

example to others. Thank you for meditating with me. Peace.
