Keeping Your Body Company

Bring acceptance and kindness to oneself with this meditation. Why is it so challenging to love and accept ourselves? This is a common issue that people present to me during healing sessions. Most of us are continually striving, trying to prove we are OK causing us to not fully enjoy our lives. We can be our own worst critics which cause great suffering. We rarely feel we are good enough just as we are. This does not mean we stop growing and healing but it does mean accepting who we are in this moment with Kindness.

Meditation helps bring self-acceptance and kindness, overcoming challenges of constantly striving to prove ourselves and being our own worst critics.

Taste of Kindness

This short guided mindfulness meditation invites the breath to the center of your awareness. Feeling the sensations as you breathe in and out. You might feel the sensations at the nose, throat, chest, or abdomen. Learning to rest your attention wherever the sensations are most obvious to you. I hope you can learn to train your mind as you stay with the natural breath, coming back when the mind wanders. Mental noting may help you experience the breath and this can sometimes support your practice. May your ongoing meditation continue to nourish you each day, as your intention grows to practice regularly with kindness & patience. Best wishes, Lisa Pollard www.lisapollard.com

Awareness of Breathing

The body is a great place to rest our attention, a respite and rest from the endless whirling thoughts. It's also really important to tune in and know what's happening in our emotional world, so we can be kind to ourselves if there's difficulty there or appreciate it when there's joy there! With this practice, we are getting in touch with the sensations in the body - not the thoughts, just the feelings.

Tune into the body to understand emotions and find respite from thoughts; focus on sensations not thoughts.
