Summary: One of the beautiful things about being a human and having a life is having a body. We can't deny that it's a part of our whole self. And somewhere along the way we forget how good it is to have a body. We hold shame in them through past hurts, messages or labels that stick with us. But that is not our fate or truth. Our truth is that God made us embodied. Our truth is that before we knew any different, it was a joy to have a body - to breathe, to smile, to laugh hard, to sing loudly, to dance free, stretch and move around. As kids we loved them! As adults, we can remember this. We can re-member ourselves in our body. Through moments like this one, we can pause, feel deeply the goodness of our bodies right now, remember and embody past times we felt great in them, and slowly over time with practice, enjoy having a body - this body! - once again. Give yourself time. Practice a little everyday, and in time, it's my prayer and trust that you will find you love this skin you're in a little more. Trust it. You are beloved. Grace, Peace & Namaste.
