When any part of the body is malfunctioning or experiencing weakness, use meditation to focus your attention on that area of the body. Here's a simple exercise to prepare you not only to do that but to show you how it works. As you sit in meditation, place your focus either upon your feet or your hands. Imagine that they are becoming warmer. Some start by seeing their feet or hands as a gray color gradually warming. As they warm, they change from gray to a lighter color and on to a glowing soft pink. 

​This simple exercise works for many people. Try it first. Then apply the same technique to the part of your body that is compromised. For example, if you suffer from a headache, do a meditation which focuses on your head: My head releases pain. My head restores itself. My head is healthy. Another example could be a meditation that focuses on your back if it aches: My back releases pain. My back restores itself. My back is healthy.

Use this meditation to connect with your body. It's done by "talking" to the body and asking it these kinds of questions. Pause to "listen" after you ask each question:
- What can I do for you right now?
- What would nourish you right now?
- Is there something I need to do more for you?
- Is there something I need to do less for you?
- What am I keeping you from doing?
