Below is a powerful meditation for radiating health with gratitude:
This is to be practiced every morning, as soon as you wake up. Without even getting out of bed, without opening your eyes, visualize your body. Visualize your body as clearly as you can. Next, touch each part of your body with deep love and gratitude. One by one, touch your body parts with great love.
You never touch your body with love!
Never think that your body can't feel your touch or your love. No!
Your body is a conscious intelligence that is continuously responding to you.
Carry this deep attitude of gratitude with you throughout the day.
In each of your daily activities, keep your awareness on the body part that is performing the activity. When you are walking, silently thank your legs for carrying your load, for supporting you. When you are working, eating, taking a bath, reading, be aware of how much your body is supporting you.
Keep with this feeling alive in you every moment, till you go to bed.
In just a few days, you will notice two wonderful things happening in you. First, you will notice a new grace in your body. Your body will start looking more beautiful, and radiating health and wellness. Second, when you continuously watch your body, you gradually realize that the body is not you!
As of now, you are unhappy with your body because you think of your body as yourself. You feel the changes happening in your body as changes that are happening to you. That is why you struggle to keep your body young and beautiful and constant. You don't allow your body to change naturally, to age gracefully. When you know that you are apart from your body, you appreciate and enjoy your body without feeling dependent on it. You release yourself from your body, and release your body from you!
