Celebrating Your Existence

Take a minute to do 2-3 Yes breaths, slowly breathing into your belly as you arch your back, and breathing out as you flatten it.

Think about something or someone you love easily. It could be a beautiful landscape, your beloved dog or cat, a grand piece of music, or a person in your life. As you think about this, breathe into your body until the delicious sensations of love fill your chest (or wherever else you notice them).

As you notice these sensations, simultaneously notice your body. Have the two awarenesses at the same time. Allow your body to fill with love as you notice loving your body (FOR NO GOOD REASON).

Try out these thoughts, as you notice loving your body:
• I choose this body.
• I choose this life.
• I want this body.
• I want this life.
• I love my body.
• I love my life.

Process whatever feelings (fear, joy, sadness, anger, sexual) come up by breathing and moving through them.
