Your body is a divine gift that is nothing short of miraculous.
When did you last think of yourself as such? If you have, you are expressing gratitude to the majesty of creation — the master architect/engineer, mother, father…universal power
spends time sensing all of your being without seeing yourself as made of parts and pieces like a car or other machine. Can you do this? If you can, the wholeness of life is respected.
Step outside of your thoughts and just be present. Imagine you had no mirror, reflecting surface, photo, or artist to paint or draw you. Can you do this? You are not just a talking head, face, or body.
Touch, move, look, inhale, exhale, listen, chew, eat, and excrete with total respect and honor for all that the body is able and ready to do. Your own discipline and direction will make things work best.
Let’s go…
Stroke your skin and admire its construction. It is not merely an envelope to cover your internal organs. It has living, breathing cells that absorb, protect, transform, create, secrete, excrete, feel, and die, only to be replaced continuously. Do not underestimate the power of this magnificent organ—the largest in the body—that is a gateway and a defender of your person!
Move your body! Every muscle, including your face, should be stimulated. Stretch and extend, turn, twist, shimmy, shake, march, run, dance, play, and be free to allow your body to express itself. You will feel best when you move more often. Let the child in you be happy, and simultaneously, you will condition your heart and muscles! What a deal!
Your eyes absorb the environment in multiple ways and add dimensions and color. Without them, what would you see? Imagine or ask one who was not given sight from birth and listen to what that person sees.
Inhale the air around you. Is it fresh and life-giving? Ensure this. The nose is not to be abused. Take in only good air and scents that nourish the brain, which then delivers wonders to every cell in every organ, including the skin!
Can you hear? The ears-so carefully sculpted to the sides of your head allow for innumerable sounds. What would life be like without sound? Gladly, we have technology to help! So, give thanks to those interestingly shaped apparati and defend them against harsh or violently loud noises!
Chew to save your life! Protect your teeth using whole, fresh food and clean water. Wash your mouth with pure substances and zero fluoride, artificial substances, or other noxious chemicals to protect your brain and body. The mouth is the portal for nourishment and breath, and you are the keeper of the gate—keep the gate clean and free of illegal entrants!
Digestion is for life and the best can only happen when you know that the food is the best it can be — simple, whole, clean, untainted, not artificial, and made with loving thoughts, hands, and cookware! Have you thought about your digestive tract and all it has to process for you to feel alive and well? Better get thinking!
And in the end — excretion of undigested food must be the best you can make it. Pay attention to your toilet end products; if that material looks and smells very wrong, you need to change how you eat and live.
There is help and yours truly can be there for you and your body divine. 😊
