Try This...

In the midst of reading…A LOT…in order to gain a deeper understanding and knowledge for my literature reviews,  I have decided to focus on the emotional well-being of a dancer. So many interesting NEW topics and ideas have blossomed, taking a great interest in wanting to find the connection of mind-body health in ballet dancers.
This lead me to come across a wonderful little activity!

This exercise cultivates a good feeling. It's an exercise in self love.

1. Be open with your self. Take a few deep abdominal breaths.
2. Bring your awareness to the center of your chest. Your heart chakra is here. It's the place of unconditional love.
3. Visualize a bright green colored ball - an orb of green light spinning in the center of your chest.
4. Breathe normally and visualize.
5. Think of someone you love unconditionally, someone who loves you unconditionally. This person could be a loved one, family member, friend, spiritual figure, role model or pet.
6. Send your unconditional love to them. Feel their love being sent to you. Feel your heart connection.
7. Notice what is happening in your chest and your mind-body.
8. Feel this good feeling moving through your entire body - from the top of your head to your toes.
9. Rest in it. Enjoy it.
10. When you feel like it's time to move on, open your eyes. How do you feel now? What did you sense or notice? What did you learn? Write your insights in a journal.
11. Repeat this exercise as needed.

What is emotional health? It's blossoming into greater self-acceptance, self-respect, self-confidence and self-love. 

Give it a try :) You feel wonderful!
