In this guided meditation, the facilitator leads listeners through a body‑focused exercise designed to quiet mental chatter and reconnect with bodily intuition. Participants are invited to adopt a comfortable posture—sitting or standing—while gently moving, stretching, and feeling the contact points of their body (chair, feet, spine). The practice incorporates tactile grounding (rubbing thighs, placing a hand on the heart and another on the stomach) and breath awareness, encouraging the spine to lengthen on inhalation and the body to sink deeper on exhalation. The facilitator explains that this “hug‑like” self‑touch stimulates the nervous system and helps participants sense their internal desires, distinguishing visceral “yes” and “no” signals that arise in the body rather than the over‑active mind. Listeners are guided to explore what their bodies truly want—activities, connections, or releases—by noticing subtle shifts such as changes in voice pitch or energy movement when a yes or no is felt. The session concludes by inviting participants to return to the present, emphasizing that the body holds deeper knowledge than we often credit it with.

Let's have everyone, let's tap into like our body intuition right now. Let's do a little exercise. Because a lot of times when we get into our own heads about these things and like they just start to like go over and over and over and over again in our heads and we can't, we can't make a decision about things. Um. A lot of times the easiest thing is to drop into our bodies. So let's just do a little practice there. Where we can, where we can kind of do that. So if everyone just wants to close their eyes and sit up straight in whatever position they're in, or you can stand if you want, if you've been sitting for too long and your body wants to stand. And maybe like just sway from side to side if you want, or stretch from side to side, do whatever your body needs. Maybe put your Arms up over your head and stretch upward and outward. Maybe like bring your arms down and stretch them down. And then maybe you just rub your hands on your thighs for a second. Get really, really seated in your root. So maybe if you feel the chair on your— or you maybe you Maybe you feel your legs and your butt on your chair. Maybe you feel your feet on the ground, or if you're sitting, you know, cross-legged, you can just feel where your feet are on the chair as well. Maybe, maybe you feel your back on the chair, or if you're sitting up Upright. Maybe you just feel your, your spine. And then if you'd like, you can put your hand on your heart. Maybe one hand on your heart, one hand on your stomach. Again, it's a great way to simulate a hug, especially if you are hug deprived right now. Which so many of us are. It simulates a hug to our nervous system, and it really helps to ground us into our own bodies. Just drop in. As you breathe in, maybe let your spine get straighter, and as you breathe out, Just feel yourself sink into your body more. Sink into your root. Maybe that means into your feet or your legs. For those of you who do yoga, maybe your sacral chakra or your root chakra. Can be super grounding. Maybe if you have any tension anywhere in your body, you can release that, maybe in your tongue or your forehead or your neck, your shoulders, and just start to feel into what is it that My body wants and not necessarily what my mind wants. What is it that my body or even like my being, like myself, capital S self, wants? There's a time and place for the mental chatter. There's a time and place for our minds to be working. Right now, we just don't really need that right now. A lot of— for a lot of us, that's overused. Our mind is overused and overdeveloped while our body intuition and Our kind of spirit intuition, if you will, or more being intuition is underdeveloped. So we're just tapping into that more underdeveloped and trying to develop it a little bit more. So you can tap into what is it that I want to do today that I really want, like what is my deeper desire? What does my body really want to do today? What, what do I really want to do today? What do I really want to do this weekend or in the coming week? Who do I really, really, really want to connect with? Who is really important to me? That I want to connect with? What am I getting a visceral no from? I think about the things that are on my mind, maybe I can feel into my body and feel what is a no. A deep knowing no. You don't have to think about how you have to like cancel your plans or change the things that you were gonna do or, you know, change your relationship with someone. You don't have to think about any of that stuff right now. Just feel into what is this visceral no. What is it that my body, myself wants to let go? We can bring it back to what is a yes and feel what shifts in your body when you think about what is a yes. For me, I know that when I said When I went from a no to a yes, even, even my voice, the pitch of my voice changed a little bit. I felt the energy kind of move from my, from lower in my body to higher up in my heart when I said yes. So what is a yes for you? And notice what happens in your body when you think of a yes. And then you can slowly come back to us. Our bodies know a lot more than we give them credit for.
