This is a meditation that will guide us through the physical body one area at a time while cultivating kindness towards our physical being.

Before we begin, please note that even though our intention is to cultivate compassion towards the body, you may notice that unkind thoughts arise. Many of us have a difficult relationship with certain parts of our body, and so whatever arises is natural. This is something we will work with as part of this practice.

If a thought like this arises, see if you can simply label it as a thought—that is, not an absolute truth—and return your attention to the present moment, in which you are focusing on your feet.

Another experience you might have is to find yourself being self-critical due to any unkindness or judgment that might come up.

Once again, notice this as just a thought as you tune into your experience with gentleness and curiosity.
