Day 5 - Gift of Reverence
Wow, yesterday was so powerful. I wonder how it will get better than that. Now that you have forgiven/released the negatives and perceptions that were holding you hostage, you ready for a sweeter life without bitterness and resentments.
That leaves a vacancy for the deep respect that defines today's agent of change - reverence.
The past 4 days have been about clearing our consciousness on the mental and emotional levels and today we turn to our body - the outward manifestation of your/our consciousness. Gulp.
Today is learning to release any habitual ways of looking at or talking about your body. Today, we learn to approach it with reverence, valuing it and honoring it. When you know and accept that you move differently, you treat yourself differently with gratitude and humility. When you treat yourself with kindness and high regard, your body becomes the centre of quiet joy rather than the battlefield for your ego.
No matter what your physical suffering, physical ailments or spiritual emptiness, the more love you give your body, the better you will feel. (Can it really be this simple??) The more attention you give to your "container", the more power, beauty and grace it can hold.
To step into reverence for your body, you must pardon yourself for all you have done and not done to take care of it. You must bless what workds and accept and embrace all you perceive to be wrong. You must bring your attention to the beautiful job it does each day to keep you in the game of life and bless it for the opportunity it gives you to evolve your soul.
Bless your body and it will bless you back.
So... sounds easy right? I know.. kidding, but this is what it says... write a letter to your body asking for forgiveness for those things you are sorry for.
Then identify one thing you can give up for the next 16 days to increase your level of reverence. What habit, behaviour, belief or self talk violates the respect, dignity, honor and tenderness you have for your body?
What could you to do feel as if you had already done this, made it a part of your daily behaviour - loving, valuing and treating yourself well. Imagine that and feel it now.
Sun Tzu - Passion Fuels the Spirit
Every woman has her own sources of motivation and inspiration. What are yours? Whatever your goal, passion must be at the core of what you do and why you do it. You must care deeply for you you work with and for. (Even yourself). If not, you will not be able to sustain that passion.
Your passion defines who you are. It will give you the stamina to win victory after victory. Your work reveals what you care about and the depth of your committment. What does your passion and how you apply it, say about you?
