Sometimes just a couple of minutes of doing nothing, practicing self-love exercise or enjoying facial meditation can dramatically reduce stress, help us relax and feel better.

I would like to share with you this Breast Meditation from the fabulous book Breast Cancer? Breast Health; the Wise Woman Way by Susun S. Weed. I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in valuable information on  breast health stress remedies, how to keep your breasts healthy, prevent cancer and survive breast cancer at any stage.

Sit comfortably in front of a large mirror in a warm, private place. Bare your breast. Look in the mirror. Tell your breasts something like:
“I love you. You are just the way you are supposed to be. I see your perfection. I know your beauty. I honor your power.” Use your own words. Repeat as many times as you like.

When you are done, close your eyes. Slowly bring your hands up and cup them under your breasts. Say: “My breasts are healthy. My breasts are powerful.”

Open your eyes and look at yourself in the mirror, saying,”My breasts are my strength. My strength nourishes me and others.”

Close your eyes and let your hands return to the lap. Sit quietly and breathe as you visualize glowing pink clouds within your breasts spiraling in toward your nipples for a minute.

Continuing to breathe, let this sparkling pink energy spiral out for a minute.

As you breathe, imagine the energy doing figure-eights from breast to breast for a minute.

Finally, imagine the you are plunging your hands into vibrant pink energy. Feel it flowing up your arms, through your armpits and out of your nipples.

Open your eyes, smile at yourself in the mirror, and come out of the meditation.
