Hello and welcome to Inner Work, a spiritual growth podcast. I'm your host, Josephine Hartman,

and I wanted to put together this bonus meditation for you to cultivate your inner center

of divinity and resins. So set a different way.

This is a meditation to help you disidentify from your physical body, from your linear mind,

and from your emotions with all of their ups and downs.

So we could also say this is a practice to get into right relationship with your body,

your mind, and your emotions, and to develop a deeper sense of your inner I am presence, your inner divinity,

your higher self, which is who you really are. So I'll ask you to listen to the following words

and affirmations and allow yourself to relax into them. It's okay if certain

parts of you, such as your ego or your ego mind, resist some of these words at this moment

in time. Just go with it. Don't put any pressure on yourself and take it as deep as you can.

So to get started, we'll just do a little bit of breathing together. So getting as comfortable as you can where you're sitting,

taking a minute to fully arrive into this experience.

And just taking a deep, centering breath as deeply as you can, inhaling,

holding that breath at the top just for a second or two,

and then exhaling fully.

And again, taking a deep breath in, holding that breath in your lungs just for a few seconds, and then exhaling fully.

So we are going to begin.

I have a body, but I am not my body.

I have a body, but I am not my body.

My body may find itself in different conditions of health or sickness my body may feel rested or tired

my body may feel different from one day to the next, or even within the same day. That has nothing to do with my true self and the vastness of who and what I really am.
