Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration
The focus for today is: I take a few moments to let my body relax.
The following is taken from Louise Hay's book, You Can Heal Your Life Companion Book
It only takes a moment or two, several times a day, to allow the body to let go and relax. Relaxation is essential to the healing process. It's hard to allow the healing energies to flow within us if we're tense and frightened.
At any moment, you can close your eyes and take two or three deep breaths and release whatever tension you may be carrying. If you have more time, sit or lie down quietly, and talk your body into complete relaxation. Say silently to yourself: "My toes are relaxing, my feet are relaxing, my ankles are letting go," and so on, working all the way up your body. Or, you may begin with your head and work down.
At the end of this simple exercise, you'll feel peaceful and calm for a while. Repeating this process on a regular basis can create a peaceful state within you. This is a very positive, physical meditation that you can do anywhere.
