The Good Old Body Sweep

What were we talking about? Ah yes, (hidden) self-hatred versus loving-kindness. 
Another way to wipe away our (hidden) self-hatred is the body sweep. With an imaginary soft broom we sweep the inside of our bodies in a very detailed manner. Guided meditation is especially suited.
We start at the top of our head and move down slowly, using the imaginary broom. We can dip the broom in gold dust or in liquid licorice, all I’m trying to say is that the sky is the limit.
Methodically working our way down our body and limbs, we emerge from this exercise refreshed and replenished. It is also a very good for people with sleeping problems; this counts for meditation in general; sleeping itself is perhaps the best meditation  (the Daila Lama once said and I agree with him).

I’ll make a meditation CD sometime soon, I promise to put the good old full body sweep on it.
