Tender Trust, Beloved Body

I want you to feel at home, here upon the earth, and to realize you have come here not only to serve, but to take delight, to become alive, to exercise your power of choice to manifest a destiny that is brilliant and beautiful and perfectly suited to you. So I have given you a sacred animal, a devoted body that has offered its entire life in service to your soul growth. When you love this sacred animal and let him or her love you in return, then you are able to manifest your divine destiny as a radiant, vibrant expression in the world.

Guidance

Trust that your body knows how to process pleasure, and even that which is not so pleasurable, and will do so naturally when allowed to remain open and connected to life. This openness keeps your body empowered to not only digest, but to complete the cycle of processing an experience. It does this by generating a natural source of energy, not unlike food being converted into energy. You can then use that energy in an intentional and empowered way-to express, to create, to manifest.

If you have been working on your spiritual growth, or have been trying to bring a dream to life but have found it hard to sustain a sense of joy, vitality or pleasure, then you are guided to livingly but firmly guide yourself away from “living in your head” and into a more embodied existence. This will bring you closer to your goal. You are guided to know that you can trust your body; there is no need to be suspicious of the need for rest, pleasure, connection, affection, exertion, or stimulation. Gratitude and affection for your body will bring you and your body greater happiness and generate a stronger energetic emanation to attract divine success into your life.

In a Reading

If you have been wondering if something you have dreamed of can come to life, can be made manifest in the physical world, the answer is “yes.”

If you have struggled with body image, eating or health concerns, know that your body can recover from any trauma, no matter how deep or disturbing, when you support it. You must trust, be gentle and apply the healing balm of love. Your body knows how to heal itself-to mend broken bone or even a broken heart. Let there be expression and release. Don’t try to control the process of healing. Be present and allow it.

Trust your instincts and intuition! They are telling you something real and helpful.

Do you know how beautiful you are? Give yourself a hug and remind yourself now.

Healing Process

This is a very intimate and special healing process, so you may feel vulnerable throughout this ritual, which is healthy and acceptable. It is wonderful and courageous to offer yourself this gift. It is best done in privacy. It can be a lengthy process, but it will be effective even if done quickly in only a minute or two.

If ou have a history of sexual abuse, extreme self-criticism or body hatred through dieting or any other cause, then please be gentle with yourself. Do not push yourself to do this exercise in a way that is confronting for you. Take time to learn to love your body and allow your body to receive your love with trust. There is no need to force anything.

Be seated or stand comfortably-whatever feels best for you-and place one hand on your heart. Place the other hand on your belly, or any particular part of your body you are having difficulty loving or that is struggling from illness or injury-from your thighs to your belly or genitals.

Say, “I love you,” in a quiet, soft, calm voice to these parts of your body. If you find that you cannot say that, then imagine sending a smile to those parts of your body instead, just like you are saying, “Hello.” Rest like this for as long as feels good, but at least for one slow breath in and out.

Then say:

“Through unconditional love, I ask for blessing for this body. I love you, my body. You are a very good body, and I thank you for all you do for me. You please me so much. Please forgive me for the times when I wasn’t kind to you. I didn’t know any better then, but I do now, and I want us to live a happy life together and enjoy so much what life offers us. You are so beautiful to me, and I am so grateful for you.”

Give yourself a hug.

You have finished your healing process.
