I guide my body
With love and compassion
Through a pain I’m coming to know

Awareness takes away the fear
Warmth brings comfort
Rest brings easement

A wave of pain rises
And I meet it with breath
The body clenches
And I meet it with breath

Creating space and understanding
Allows me to create strength
My body strong, not broken
My body resilient now and brave

Waking refreshed
The pain a dream-like memory
And the fibers of my being changed
