Day Three: Sensations and the body
Welcome to day three of your meditation journey.
Today we will focus on a body scan meditation, a practice that can help you connect with your body, release tension, and promote relaxation. By bringing awareness to each part of your body, you can learn to recognize and respond to the physical sensations that arise in your daily life. You see, you will start to find that there is an integral link between our body, mind and emotions. Learning how to recognise, translate and live with the messages that you are being sent is the first step in learning to tap back into your intuition.
So find a space to get comfortable, make sure that you’ve got everything that you need (blanket, notebook, water, cushions etc) and that you are in a space where you won’t easily get interrupted.
Your companion guide to Day THREE:
A journal prompt
Day three, well done you. You’ve come back - this is no small feat. Today I want you to think about a fear or a limiting belief. We are complex beings and our belief system gets shaped from our childhood. We hide aspects of ourselves and we hold back on the things that we truly want.
Part of learning to meditate, is learning about you. So with that in mind, think about something that is holding you back. You may even refer to this as part of your shadow - but I don’t want you to be frightened of this belief or fear - instead, think of it as your roadmap. It’s here to show you how you can show up. What you really want.
What is one fear or limiting belief that you have about yourself? Write about how this belief affects your life and what steps you can take to overcome it.
An affirmation
We are starting to flex that self-love muscle today. This is SO incredibly important, so important that I dedicate a weeks to this in my coaching. Self-love, self-worth, these are at the core of all transformations. Here is your affirmation today, but feel free to swap it to something else.
“I am many things. I am strong. I am worth. I am beautiful. I am resilient. I am loved.”
Try saying this repeatedly, in front of a mirror. Say it as many times that you need to. Note how you feel when you start. Note how you feel when you finish. Write it on a post-it note and take it with you throughout the day. Say it anytime and as many times as you need to.
