Meditation to stop fearing yourself script 1

Mindfulness also provides an opportunity to look more closely at the body. You can observe sensations in the body and notice how they change with meditation practice. For example, you may notice that after a few minutes of sitting, your muscles feel sore. You may find yourself with a headache or have a sense of lightness in the body.

In this meditation, you will be invited to focus on yourself. You will learn to look at your body and mind and observe what is happening.

When you are ready, invite gentleness into the body.

Take a few breaths and notice any uncomfortable or unpleasant feelings that arise. Let them be.

Sit quietly and bring your awareness to your breathing. Just notice the experience of breathing.

After a few minutes, invite the mind to settle. The mind may find it difficult to settle. It may be busy thinking, talking, or worrying. Notice this mind and invite it to slow down.

Bring your awareness to the body. Start by noticing the breath in the nose and the chest. Allow yourself to breathe slowly and gently. Then move to the abdomen. Notice the movement of the belly.

The next step is to notice the entire body. You can begin by noticing the sensations in your feet and hands. Move to the knees, hips, back, and shoulders. Notice the breath and the movements in the body.

Now, notice the body in the head. What do you see? What are your thoughts? What is the experience of the mind?

Finally, bring your awareness to the eyes. What do you notice? How does the mind react to what you see?

After a few minutes of exploring the body, invite the mind to settle.

Rest your attention on the body. Breathe slowly and softly. Feel the sense of comfort in the body.

Meditation to stop fearing yourself script 2

Many people feel ashamed of their bodies, so they feel pressure to look perfect. This fear can affect every aspect of our lives, from our health to our work performance.

We may spend a lot of time trying to improve our appearance and worrying about being accepted.

Meditation can help us feel calmer about our bodies. It can help us feel more comfortable in our own skin.

Find a comfortable meditation posture and invite gentleness into the body.

Notice the sensations in the body, such as the breath or the body’s weight. Bring to mind somebody you fear. Feel this fear.

Take the time to identify the reasons for the fear, which could be about the person’s appearance or their behavior.

Say to yourself, “I’m afraid.” Repeat this phrase and connect with the meaning behind it. Notice how this fear affects the body, thoughts, and emotions.

You may want to make a promise to yourself to overcome your fear. Use phrases such as:

“I will not fear this person anymore.” “I will not fear my body anymore.” “I will not fear this situation anymore.”

If you find yourself stuck or unable to move forward, notice the struggle and acknowledge it.

Recognize that you may have spent a lot of time trying to make yourself perfect, and that’s not working.

Let go of this struggle. You are a wonderful, imperfect human being.

You may feel scared of being seen as imperfect. This is normal. Just know that the more you practice acceptance, the more you’ll realize you are not imperfect.

This practice is about accepting who you are. Take a few breaths and bring your awareness back to the breath, or your body, or whatever you were focused on.

When you feel ready, you can open your eyes.

Meditation to stop fearing yourself script 3

In meditation, we often think of ourselves as someone who is worthy. But often, we struggle with feelings of unworthiness and fear ourselves.

It is natural to feel anxious and uncomfortable. In meditation, we work with those emotions so that they don’t control us. When we focus on the breath, we invite mindfulness into our mind.

We see that we are not who we think we are. We are not worthless, and we are worthy. This shift in perspective is a big step toward a healthier mind.

Let’s say you struggle with feeling unworthy. In meditation, you will repeat a phrase a few times in your mind.

Think of your mind as a garden of thoughts. You plant seeds, and over time you watch them grow.

Think of your mind as a garden of thoughts. You plant seeds, and over time you watch them grow.

When you think of yourself as a garden of thoughts, you are planting seeds of self-worth. The more you tend your garden, the more flowers and fruit will emerge.

Think of a time when you felt unworthy. Think of something that made you feel this way, whether it was a particular thought or a person or even a situation.

Imagine that this thought came to you. See it, hear it, feel it, imagine it. Now, visualize the other thoughts in your mind as seeds. One by one, you begin to plant your seeds of self-worth. You place one seed in the thought that makes you feel unworthy.

As you continue to meditate, you will continue to plant more seeds. You will continue to do this for the next several weeks.

The more you meditate on this practice, the easier it becomes. With practice, you will be able to bring mindfulness to your thinking. You will notice when a thought about yourself comes up.

When this happens, you will notice that you are not your thought. You are not who the thought says you are. You are not weak, you are not stupid, you are not unlovable.

You are not what you think you are. As you continue to plant the seeds of self-worth, you will learn to cultivate your garden. As you continue to meditate, you will notice the fruits of your labor. You will notice that you are no longer your thoughts. You are your body, your heart, and your mind.

The mind is a garden. In the mind, we have many thoughts. We have many thoughts about ourselves. We have thoughts about our bodies. We have thoughts about our emotions.

We have thoughts about how we think, and we have thoughts about how we feel. In meditation, we work with these thoughts and invite them to grow into a new garden.
