About this session
- Builds self-love
- Deepens body gratitude
- Lifts your mood
- Quiets self-judgment
This is a set of repeat-after-me affirmations led by Emily Fletcher. You say each line back, silently or aloud, moving from thanking your skin, eyes and senses to statements of trust, strength and reverence. A recurring question guides it: would you ever judge a tree as ugly?
It suits anyone whose first thoughts about their body are critical, or who wants a warmer start to the day. Use it while you get ready, in the quiet moment after your own meditation, or whenever you need a reminder of how much your body gives you.

See all by Emily FletcherQuestions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does Emily suggest saying the affirmations out loud?
She says that when you are in private, speaking aloud is better because your cells are listening. In a public place you can repeat the lines silently in your mind. Either way, the practice is to echo each line after her.
What is the idea behind 'you could have incarnated as a rock'?
It is her playful way of reminding you that you chose to be human, and that your soul chose to have a body. She uses it to shift how you see your body, from something to fix to something to enjoy. The aim is to savor the human experience.
What does the line about judging a tree mean?
She asks whether you would ever call a tree ugly, then invites you to treat every nook and cranny of your body as perfectly designed. It leads into the lines 'I choose reverence and respect' and 'I see my body through the lens of reverence and respect.'
Do I need to sit or lie down for this?
No. Emily says you can do these anywhere, and she places them in everyday moments like getting ready or making the bed. She also mentions the open, receptive space just after your own meditation as a good time.
What happens in the breathing at the end?
You take two big breaths. On the first, you exhale anything that keeps you from believing the affirmations are true. On the second, you breathe into your heart and release resistance and old stories, so the affirmations can land as true and done.
What kinds of things do the affirmations cover?
They begin with thanks for touch, sight, rest and your body's signals when you are out of balance. They move into trust, uniqueness and commitments like getting stronger and loving yourself more. They close with care: eating as an act of love and moving as a form of prayer.
