– FROM FRIENDS JOURNAL October 1, 2022
I’ll admit it. I’m clumsy in my body, and prone to gathering little bruises from bumping into things throughout my day. I blame it on being: an Aries—often stuck in my head; an “ideas” person—a visionary big-picture thinker who can hyperfocus on details; and a person bearing the weight of autoimmune diseases and past traumas. Often in physical and emotional pain, I can dissociate from my body easily. I forget to be in my body.
Yet to truly know Spirit—how Spirit loves me and would move me—I need to admit the physicality of divine guidance. I try to maintain a practice of listening with my entire body for God—to allow my body to be a liminal space. As I allow Spirit’s love to guide and heal me, I learn what Spirit sees when seeing me—all of me, including my body. Tapping into my body’s wisdom is essential to my creative and spiritual discernment practices.
