Your body is magnificent. It knows all your secrets, all your joys, all your fears. And every day, when you wake, it wakes with you, for you, and does all it can to allow you to move through the world and the experience of your life.
The experience of your life is dependent on the experience given by this magnificent body of yours. Can you fully love this body and be grateful for all it has given? Can you apologize to the parts of your body that you haven't loved, that you have judged, that you have rejected? Just as with our minds, there are parts of our lives, ourselves, our situations, that we don't like, that we push against, that we may struggle to accept. So too, is that the path with our bodies; and yet, our bodies are always doing the best they can by us, even when they are ailing, or parts of our body are struggling. The rest of the body is working towards sustaining your life. Keeping all the wheels turning inside so that you can continue to have this physical experience.

This is a really energetically alive time where emotions are concerned, but we're in the very early stages of more worldwide emotional awareness. So it's messy, and it does mean people are feeling things very deeply - people might be throwing their feelings at one another. But the reason I'm bringing this up is there can be a tendency for us as humans (and I've certainly seen this in the last year) to be very black and white about certain people, certain groups and their possibilities and ability to transform. I don't know about you, but at this age I look back at things and I see how, "Wow, I'm doing better with that now than I was 20 years ago." And so is the same true for many people on the planet right now, whom you might not agree with or believe in. So rather than fighting them or pushing against them, hold space for them to also transform.
