Learning to love and appreciate my body

We are in a new series where I respond to questions that listeners have sent me. If you want to send in a real-life situation or question and have me respond, just email me at [email protected] and I will reply on an upcoming podcast. This week someone asked me “How do I learn to love and appreciate my body?”   Notes Please send your real-life situations to Terces [email protected] IG  terces  and unreasonablygrateful  How is your body today?   Are there aches, pains Tensions, strains?   Does it feel lively and strong, Happily humming along?   Can you sense yourself inside of it? Can you…occupy your space?   Isn’t it a wonder? This body…this home…this miracle.   When we take the time to pay attention  When we slow down, breathe deep, turn in   We may discover infinity in here The answers to our greatest queries    The serenity we seek All the worlds we wish to travel   That which we long to commune with Pray to, listen for    Resides right here, in us As us, is us   Isn’t it a wonder? This body…this home…this miracle.   We are the cosmos embodied The divine taken form   We are ocean and mountain Songbird and rain   We are sunrise and moonbeam The thundering of hooves   We are flowering trees And night-blooming jasmine   We are vast open spaces And deep ancient caves   We are the song of the whale The flutter of wings   We are all of this and more We are truly, everything   Isn’t it a wonder? This body…this home…this miracle.   Let us offer thanks and praises For this blessing of blessings   And may we all learn to become Home-Bodies   At home, at ease, in joy Right here in our luminous bodies.   Shabbat Shalom, Miriam Chaia   Thank you,  Terces Get full access to Terces’s Substack at engelhart.substack.com/subscribe
