Now I want you to feel that breath coming in through your feet and then even out your breathing. As you exhale, release any tension you may hold in your feet. Take a deep breath in to your legs and as you exhale release any tension you may hold in your legs. Take a deep breath into your torso and release any anxiety you may hold in your stomach and exhale. Take a deep breath into your arms, and release the muscles in your shoulders and the muscles in your hands. Take a deep breath in to your head and your neck, and release any tension in your forehead, jaw and neck. Take one final deep breath and fill your whole body. Exhale and let go of any remaining tension you may hold.
Now I want you to picture your skin. Picture how it covers your whole body. Picture the skin on your hands and legs, and your stomach. I want you to think about the fact that all of the skin on your body has regenerated within the last seven years. None of the skin you have in your body was there seven years ago. It is all replenished. Your skin is constantly replenishing itself. We shed old cells and create new cells. We tend to think of ourselves as fixed but biologically we are constantly changing. Letting go of the dead cells and building new cells. We tend to think of ourselves as fixed but biologically we are constantly changing, we are constantly rejuvenating. Most of the cells in our body will rebuild and rejuvenate every 7 years. Thinking specifically of our skin, none of the skin on your body felt anything that occurred more than seven years ago. Most of the skin on the surface was not there more than a month ago. This gives you the freedom to rejuvenate yourself. To see yourself as able to change, as biologically you change all the time.
I want you to slowly start to return to the room which sitting. Start to hear the sounds around you. Start to feel where you are sitting or lying down. Remember this feeling that you’re able to change. That your body is already changing. That you not stuck with any of your past history. Thank you for taking this time today. Remember meditation changes your mind.
