Love Your Self, Love Your Body
Developing a Loving Partnership With Your Body
It seems like your awareness and your body are one package, but your awareness and your biological system are not the same. Your body is thought-reactive. It follows your awareness anywhere it wants to go, giving you the impression you are one package--but you are not. Did you know that when you get angry at "them," it registers in your own body chemistry? Instead of attacking your body by blaming others, invite your body to become your companion on a journey to evolve. Talk with your body. Love your body. Ask its advice and seek its support. Your body will talk to you if you are willing to listen.
Body postures are a way the body talks to your awareness. When your shoulders are slumped and your heart is closed, that's body talk for stress and worry. Noticing your body postures, you can shift a posture from depression to happy. Try it now. Say to yourself, "I am upset" and notice your posture. Now say, I am "happy," and notice how your posture subtly changes. You can change a bad mood into joy. Can you experience a joyous state of being simply by changing your body posture? Do it now and see for yourself.
