We’re happy to share the audio version and, below that, the text of the Unconditional Friendliness meditation conducted during our Mindful Body Acceptance meeting on 12/14/21.
Beginning by feeling your feet and hips supported by the earth, then focusing lightly on your breath
Moving your focus to the following phrases, saying each set of phrases to yourself twice
- May I accept myself fully
- May I be kind and friendly to myself
- May I know my own worth
- May I be at peace
Next, thinking about something that you don’t like about yourself very much (picking a 2-4 out of 10)
- May I accept myself fully in the midst of this
- May I be kind and friendly to myself in the midst of this
- May I know my own worth in the midst of this
- May I be at peace in the midst of this
Thinking about something that has challenged you recently (picking a 2-4 out of 10)
- May I accept myself fully in the midst of this
- May I be kind and friendly to myself in the midst of this
- May I know my own worth in the midst of this
- May I be at peace in the midst of this
Thinking about those of us here together, focusing on unconditional friendliness and acceptance of ourselves and our bodies
- May we all accept ourselves fully in the midst of this
- May we all be kind and friendly to ourselves in the midst of this
- May we all know our own worth in the midst of this
- May we all be at peace in the midst of this
