"Every guy thinks every girl's dream is to find the perfect guy... pshh, every girl's dream is to eat without getting fat!"
I wouldn't have laughed so hard if it wasn't true.
Still after all these years I can feel the tension in my upper chest and back of the neck. This is where I carry that lack of trust. The scared part of me that threatens to tell on me if I don't work out, if I have a brownie while I type this. This has been my shame, my dirty little secret... that even now after years of training, numerous therapies, certifications, and coaching other women with their body issues, I struggle. There I said it. Aawwhhhhh! relief. However, Wow, has it ever gotten easier!!!
That is why I do this work. To remind myself, to forgive myself, to rediscover the tools, to be inspired. This is the reason I do the work I do and aspire to live this way. I don't understand it all, I know when I take care of all 4 aspects of me, the tension decreases. I feel sane, grounded, I trust me.
My default is to run in autopilot. My mind in it's most unconscious state is regurgitating old data. It's rigid, rusty, musty, and mean. she gets really mean! She tends to believe she's the all of me.
Ever ask yourself "Is this all there is?" There's no juice, no tenderness, no felt sensation. Instead it's an existence of rules to follow, or rules to break.
Meanwhile under the mind's radar is a stifled down trodden little girl, who is tired of being told she's ugly, fat, not good enough, not smart enough, not rich enough. Sometimes I find her whimpering in a corner afraid to make eye contact. When I give her a voice, I can grow her up. She is wildly creative, and sooo funny. She wants to play, dance, and color outside of lines. The more time I am aware of her, the less time I am in judgement of myself or others, the more time I spend laughing, sometimes crying, always expressing my authenticity. I also remember life can be game.
Another discovery I've made is this eerie and fantastic Intelligence that isn't coming from my Mind. This lively vibrating, electric effervescence, that reminds me of who I have I always been. She gives me hints and hunches. In the quiet of mediation or the cries of lovemaking I find her. Unexpectedly sometimes, but always when I take the time and care to seek Her, She is there. The more time I am in awareness and alignment with Her, the more at peace, and in the flow I Am. Synchronicities abound, divine kisses and nods acknowledge my path illuminated. I have purpose, I have courage.
When these other 2 aspects of me are engaged, my Mind opens to full possibility. She realizes her role is far greater then to boss me and everyone else around. She craves higher learning, listening, and becomes the guide. Gently waiting to move to her next as led by my Spirit body and my Emotional Body. The 3 bodies of Mind, Emotion, and Spirit manifest in my Physical body. Suddenly my body is sacred, it is wise and precious. The loathing I had earlier is dissipated, the stress is released, I am embodied. Everything is alive and everything is okay!
I have been on this journey, practicing, learning, discovering, and intuiting. There is always more, another layer revealing itself to me. This is magical, it's freeing me, and letting me fall in love with me. Once upon a time I thought I hated my body. Actually, I just never knew my body.
