Let's begin. Begin this meditation by 5.5. Finding a comfortable, safe place where you can relax, let your arms rest by your side,

Starting point is 00:02:47 or on your lap or your knees if you would like, and become aware of your finger tips. In particular, your right thumb. Slightly move your right thumb and feel the texture of what your thumb is touching. Let your thumb become still. Bring your focus to your left thumb and move it around a little. Noticing what your thumb is touching and how it feels. Then stop and now become aware of your right index finger. Notice the sensation in your fingertip and move it around.

Starting point is 00:03:52 Ever so slyly. And stop. moving this finger, bring awareness to your left index finger. Moving it around just a little bit and then bring awareness to your right middle finger. Notice any sensations here as you slightly move only this finger around. Focusing now on your left middle finger and just wiggle only only this finger very slightly. Noticing the sensations and relax this finger.

Starting point is 00:05:15 Allow your focus to become centered on only your right ring finger and you can move it just the tiniest amount so that you don't move any other fingers and become aware of your left ring finger. moving it ever so slyly and take a big deep breath in through your stomach and down. And now we have the little finger on the right hand to focus on and move it around a little bit. Noting the texture of whatever it lays upon and stop moving your little finger, bringing your awareness to your.

Starting point is 00:06:49 left middle finger, the last one, and move it around slightly. Noticing how this feels, then stop and feel relaxed and take a big, deep breath. And now, when you start moving your fingers, you notice how relaxed your hands have become, your hands guide you through your entire life, choosing things and lifting things and bringing things home for you and you and they deserve to relax fully and with your eyes closed become fully aware of what your hands look like these hands are so important in your healthy choices journey they are responsible for every food choice that you make See your hands with your imagination picking up fresh produce from a local farmer's market

Starting point is 00:08:52 This doesn't have to be a real place You can imagine this farmer's market However you like But see your hands choosing fresh produce And fresh herbs See yourself paying for these items bringing a smile to the face of the farmer

Starting point is 00:09:31 who grew these vegetables and veggies for you and for everyone you have made a wonderful exchange with your hands at this farmer's market and you traded your hard-earned money for healthy foods that will nourish your body you see yourself

Starting point is 00:10:04 arriving home with these items and you honour the food that you have purchased by cleaning out your fridge from anything that is unhealthy or old and you may even wipe the shelves in the fridge to cleanse the area for a fresh new staff and you see your hands again making the choices to throw away foods

Starting point is 00:10:49 with ingredients that are not good for. your body, your hands, hold the items for you to read the labels so you can make a choice on whether this food is nourishing or unhealthy for your body. See your hands again, organising the freshly grown produce in your fridge and wherever else you keep your items in your kitchen. That's good. You feel nice. You may think it is your mind choosing what you buy. You may think that you have trouble choosing healthy foods. But actually, you can just leave it up to your hands to decide what will benefit your overall health. Or you see yourself getting ready to prepare

Starting point is 00:12:13 a nutritious meal. You grab some produce or meats from the fridge and feel the fridge and feel the coolness that the fridge has brought to these items to keep them fresh for you, rings and things to your sink that need to be washed, and feel the water washing over these items as you rinse them, cleaning them for you to eat, and you notice how your hands delicately handle these items because you cherish and appreciate them. The nutrients that they bring are literally life-giving. and you prepare the veggies by chopping them with your favourite knife and you can see yourself either cooking them in a pan

Starting point is 00:13:26 with a healthy oil or eating them raw. Just notice how your hands do all this wonderful preparation for you without any effort. You are enjoying cooking a healthy meal and your hands complete each task effortless thing. your meal is ready to eat, and you have cooked yourself a perfectly healthy meal, without any junk food, extra snacks like bread that you don't actually need and see your hands, holding a fork and bringing this energizing nutrition to your mouth and enjoy this bite

Starting point is 00:14:47 that you are imagining right now. Your hands are amazing at picking up. out produce that is fresh and juicy. Your hands can feel the texture of things and know when they are perfectly right. Good, that's good. To present you now with a little challenge in this meditation and you have a choice here to practice something that happens in your daily life. Imagine that you are being tempted right now with an an unhealthy food choice. It could be your favourite dessert at a friend's house. It could be a snack out on a bag at the gas station. It could be those last items that the grocery stores

Starting point is 00:15:53 try to tempt you to buy right beside the register. Whatever you imagine, you are going to have the choice to see your hands acting in the way you wish to see them, see yourself wanting to reach for this and healthy food, but instead your hands remain at ease. You can move your fingertips, like we did earlier, instead of grabbing the snack and you can see that you didn't reach out into your wallet or purse to pay for this and healthy item. Your hands helped you decide what you didn't want to eat. Great, that's good. Now allow this visual to fade and become aware of your breathing and just notice how you are breathing right now and inhale just a little bit deeper than you were. Say to yourself,

Starting point is 00:17:33 I choose healthy foods, and my hands guide me every time my hard-earned money is transformed into healthy foods, and healthy packaged foods do not end up in my hands. Just as my money never pays for these things, I make choices every day towards a healthy life. Hands guide me to make a healthy choice multiple times a day and holding healthy food in my hands makes me feel powerful. Washing and preparing these healthy items makes me feel confident. My hands help me make delicious healthy food for myself and for others. I choose health. That's so good. And in a moment, we're going to take five deep breaths. And by doing so, you are locking in these wonderful affirmations.

Starting point is 00:19:11 Being fully in, you see yourself choosing health. And exhale, relaxing your body as deeply as you can. Imagining shopping at healthy places and choosing the freshest items. And exhale. relaxing your body right now as much as you want to. Seeing your hands again choosing for you and exhale relaxing even more. Seeing your hands not act upon these unhealthy choices that you used to make, your hands simply remain still and do not act upon urges that are unhealthy and exhale relaxing very deeply now.

Starting point is 00:20:34 breathing in one last breath. Allow whatever comes to mind that benefits your weight loss journey. Be creative. And exhale, only focusing on how relaxed you are right now, that's brilliant. You have done powerful work today.

Starting point is 00:21:01 From now on, your hands are there to guide you. They are no longer under the control of unnecessary urges, for unhealthy items you clearly know when you have an item in your hands whenever you should eat it and absorb the nutrients or put it back on the shelf

Starting point is 00:21:28 because you know it contributes to your weight gain you can go to sleep now knowing that from tomorrow you can and will make healthy choices that are right for you.
