Hey everyone, it's K-Sunga here. I just want to let you know that we've launched a brand

new call and advice podcast called Dear Headspace. Each week the headspace teachers, along

with some amazing new friends, are answering your questions about relationships, work,

life, mindfulness, and just about everything else. It's so different from anything we've

ever created and we're so excited for you to hear it. Dear Headspace comes out every

Tuesday on the Headspace app and anywhere that you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

Hi, welcome to Radio Headspace. And to Tuesday, it's me, Dora. The other day I was on Instagram

and someone shared this beautiful poem by Holly Holden. Today I asked my body what she needed,

which is a big deal, considering my journey of not really asking that much. This poem made

me think about my own body and how there's been so many moments where I felt pressured

to look a certain way or perform in a particular manner and even resented my body for living

up to such unrealistic and high standards. When we let go of some of the narratives and

stories we've created about our bodies, we make space for their magnificence, for their

perfection and brilliance. If you're up for it, let's try growing gratitude for our

bodies. So take a moment to get comfortable, eyes open or closed. And taking a few deep

grounding breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth. And just gently bringing

the attention down to the feet and saying, Hi, feet, thank you for all that you do for

me. Shifting the attention to the legs. Thinking about all the different things that you

did that required your legs. And saying, Hi, legs, thank you for all that you do for

me. Moving up towards the stomach, lungs and heart. Saying, Hi, stomach, hi, lungs,

hi, heart. Thank you for all that you do for me. And then just continuing in that same

way up towards the top of the head. And to close. Thinking the body. Hi, body. Thank
