This is episode 1,800 and one.

Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I'm Mary Meckley and I congratulate you for reaching the final day of our seven-part week-long series on

healing your body.

And we've been following along throughout this series

learning a different meditation technique, as well as insight into how your body heals.

The body keeps the score.

Brain, mind, and body in the healing of trauma by Bessel Van Derkolk, who is an

MD, is the book we've been following along with.

And in this book, you have discovered

how important it is to name your trauma, name your pain,

pain, name the suffering, and the elation, the fear, the sadness,

the sadness, the gratitude, the You are feeling. Allow yourself to feel it fully and deeply. And this is the path to help you heal.

When you allow yourself to experience all of life, the ups and the downs, then you are able to process your emotions in a much better way.

And in the final episode of every series,

I always end with a reflection, meditation, where you take a look back over your week,

and you notice the highs and the lows of your week, your big wins, as well as the times

when you felt you had failed or you could have done better.

And you allow yourself to notice how you reacted and what emotions you experienced.

The Dalai Lama is reported to do this reflection of his day in reverse. If you could do this every day at night before you go to bed, this is a powerful

way for you to process these emotions and to begin to feel in your body where you harbor certain emotions.

If you do this every week, that will help you as well. So that's what we'll be doing in this episode.
