| How to Be More Comfortable in Your Body |
|
There exists a sense of division within you. In other words, you are ... you. You have a body—but you are not your body. Your body is not you. You have taken on the identity of a person who is not comfortable with many elements of the earth plane, including that of being in a body. You feel you are trapped and you blame your body for trapping you within something that creates discomfort. It would be easy to say, "Just love your body". But you don't see your body as really being part of you. There is a conflict. One pitfall many older souls fall into is a sense of discomfort with the earth plane itself. There is some conscious memory at this level of being in a space that is not limited by a body, and there is a desire to be in that space and to exist without those limitations. Inhabiting a body is by definition confining, and for those lacking a great deal of energy on the action axis it is difficult to feel comfortable with the physicality that is part of you. So this is part of what is happening for you: a knowingness that existence doesn't have to be like this—doesn't have to feel limiting—and a resistance to those feelings of limitation. So what can you do about this? We would like to bring your attention to your body, but at a cellular level. Let's take a journey into one of your cells and inhabit it rather than be inhabited by it. Visualize a room that looks a bit odd: it's dark with odd things floating around. You're very, very small, and you sense all about you millions of other rooms just like his one, and each of them have a consciousness. Each of them are connected inextricably to all the others and hold at all times an awareness of all the others, plus an awareness of the greater being that is the body they inhabit. Each of the cells moves and functions with its own consciousness, but also with the awareness that it are also part of something much bigger, part of a community. The feeling is much like the feeling in a tree-community: where there is no expectation, no judgment, and there is simply space to exist. You find yourself within one of these cells, and you feel the peace that is there. There is no tension. There is no conflict. Everything is perfect, for there is no need to do anything but exist. We invite you on a regular basis to bring your awareness to that level. Choose a different place in your body each time. Connect with your eyeball one day, with your elbow another day, with your spleen another. See what that feels like, inhabiting yourself, with no expectations placed upon you. That's what it means to love your body.
