Praying for Peace

Today, I invite you to explore with me what would be nourishing and supportive to you when you desire to slow down, re-center, and invite a little more peace into your life. 

Our exercise today will be offering our body some self-massage. Notice any resistance, excitement, or other emotions that begin to arise. Root yourself into an intention of kindness and compassion with and for yourself as you give and receive a nourishing touch to each part of your body.

LET’S MOVE TOGETHER

Begin in a comfortable position for you. Offer your presence as you bring your hands to each part of the body. Start by having one hand massage the other. Continue massaging the forearm, upper arm, and work towards the shoulder. Switch to the other side, massaging the hand, then forearm, upper arm, and work towards the shoulder. Explore your neck, head, chest, and belly intuitively. Practice receiving the touch as you massage your legs and maybe feet. Take time at the end to explore if there’s anywhere else your body would like to be touched to feel a sense of wholeness and completion.
