Meditation For Positive Body Image

MindVayu: Meditation with Shalaka Podcast

Social media track 2: Women and men have struggled with body image issues for generations before the advent of social media. But social media has taken that insecurity and anxiety to a different level. When filtered and edited versions of your friends' photos pop up on your screen, it can surface some deep hidden doubts you have about your body. When next-door influencers appear like they wake up with flawless skin or have the perfect body shape, it can trigger feelings of discontent. When there is always talk about a "summer body" - you might start wondering if your all-year-round body is appropriate for the beach. When less-than-ideal lives are never shown to you and are always hidden, you may start to believe that they don't exist. This meditation track helps reinforce your belief in your own able body. It takes the approach of using posture, breath, mindfulness and gratitude to remind you that your body is a truly amazing feat by itself. Music by my trusted musician Varun Shah.
