May every cell of this body align with peace.

Let the food I take in nourish, let the water I drink cleanse, and let the breath I hold restore.

For the aches I have grown used to and stopped mentioning — heal them.

For the fatigue that has followed me longer than a season — lift it.

For the parts of me that have been fighting quietly — let them rest.

Teach me to inhabit this body kindly, and to thank it for what it has already survived.

Amen.
