MEDITATION: Finding Where You Belong in Your Body

The part of you that adjusts usually changes shape before you've even sat down. In this guided meditation, we stand at the doorway of an ordinary room, notice the part that starts scanning and editing, and feel where it lives in the body.

Following the Insight on belonging vs. fitting in, this session invites us to get curious about what that adjusting part is afraid of, offer it gratitude, and let it know it belongs here, with you. Fitting in is about adjusting. Belonging is about arriving.

In this session:

• Settling in: held up without having to earn it
• Standing at the doorway of a room where you adjust
• Finding where the adjusting lives in your body
• How long have you been doing this for me?
• What are you afraid would happen if you stopped?
• Gratitude, and "you don't have to earn that"
• Where belonging lives from the inside
