Body Love

LOVING MY IMPERFECTIONS

As you may have noticed, I’ve lately been on a theme of reflecting about my attitudes about my body. I know I am not alone in having a love-hate relationship with my body; so given that I am in a helper/healer role, I aspire that some of my insights and experience will be helpful to you as well.

A LITTLE EXERCISE TO DEEPEN BODY-LOVE

,

How would your relationship with your body change if you looked at it as having a soul of itself?

Let’s try this experiment: think of a child or pet you really love and cherish. The innocence of the child or pet helps you feel the purity of your well-wishes towards them. Feel all of the good, joy and  wellbeing you wish for them. Hold them in your heart for a moment.  (If you’re having a hard time choosing someone, you can imagine Daisy on the right. She was my sister’s sweet yellow lab.)
