Body Being

Body Being is dedicated to honoring all aspects of who we are. That means taking care of our physical and energetic bodies to create balance and promote healthy living.

Welcome to Spring!

This month we celebrate Spring Equinox in lands north of the Equator. Equinox means “equal nights”, and all over the world perfect balance exists as we experience 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of darkness. For the soils of Mother Earth, as the amount of light increases, so begins the next cycle of rebirth. As winter’s hibernation phase is coming to a close, life exposes itself, and with that there is a call for new growth. How can we embody the energy of spring? We can allow the gift of light to enter into our being to feed our bodies and nourish our souls. We can plant seeds of conscious intent. We can LIVE!

Our bodies are made of matter, light transforms matter, and matter is energy. Our bodies are made of cells, and our cells have memory. Each moment of our life, whether consciously remembered or not, is embedded within our cells. All of our experiences and everything we witness has been downloaded into our bodies. As we practice awareness, we begin to recognize that we believe what our cells carry and that these beliefs become our reality. When we recognize that our cells are made of energy we can begin the process of shifting our beliefs. As we shift our beliefs, we shift our perception and ultimately, our reality.

By consciously breathing in light we can transmute any hibernating energy, locked deep within our bodies, which is not based on self-love. How does this work? When we witness our thoughts we see that our thoughts are based on beliefs. Is a particular belief true? Perhaps it is, perhaps it is not. Ultimately, our perception determines that. How can we tell the difference? Truth holds an energetic quality of tranquility in our bodies. Something that is not true or something that goes against our divine nature holds the quality of disharmony and this makes us feel uncomfortable. In using conscious breath to release beliefs that go against ourselves, we begin the process of transforming our cellular structure. When we release old energy from our cells, space is created and available to seed pure intent.

Our bodies are the soil of our being. As we till our soil we bring air to those places that have been buried. As we breathe in love our soil becomes love. Our soil then becomes a pure place where heart-felt desires and dreams are planted, nourished and cultivated. Moment by moment, we feed the garden of our being by breathing in light and fortify our bodies with love.

In this fertile soil, we recognize the illuminating quality of our individual journey, supported by our surroundings, which opens the gateway for heart’s intent and soul’s purpose to enter. While we recognize our individual journey and shed light to what we wish to transform, we open the gateway for heart’s intent and soul’s purpose. As we willingly embrace our process and open to the energies that feed and sustain us, we fully live. It is true. We can support every aspect of our existence by simply bringing awareness to our breath, which is, of course, the gift of LIFE itself!

Here are a few suggestions to aid in this process:

Meditation: Holding the intent of pure transformative light, breathe into every cell of your body for the count of eight, hold your breath for a count of four, breathe out any sensation that feels heavy or stuck for the count of eight, then hold your breath again for a count of four. Find a comfortable pace for your breathing and feel the rhythm of your being.

Eco Being – The Time Machine

Much to my surprise, I took a ride,

in the most unusual fashion.

With a blink of an eye,

at the speed of a fantastical mathematical calculation,

a formula came to me for living with passion.

A fraction of a second was all it would take,

to transport me to my future fate.

I was going so fast; I had to put on the brakes,

I wanted to know the difference I did make.

What happened to me, you must ask?

This is not logical, has it already come to pass?

With a close look at the calendar, I could see,

the days weeks and months were all lined up for me.

Each future day was connected to the seasons,

filled with my dreams, chores, love, and much more.

All were manifested in my landscape, in the exact manner in which I chose to create.

What am I to do? I see clearly, this is my life, the life I did choose!

Looking back, I was grateful I took the time to feed the birds, and to be genuinely kind in this world.

I am grateful for my desire to write,

I love this form of expression with all of my might.

I was sorry for being in a hurry,

turning joy into work and worry.

I was happy I saw the balance and perfection of nature,

right where it longed to be, living inside of me.

The books I’ve read all came to life,

opening the door to really seeing in this life.

Peace, war, love and hate,

balance is what we strive to create.

Time, your shackles have fallen from me,

I am free to be a part of anything I wish to be.

I will create my tomorrows in only one way,

by fully living my passions today!

Do you wish for a time machine? How do you see your future? Is their a crystal ball, or a psychic who can tell you what will come in your future? What

if you are the only one who can look inside of yourself and find who you are now, and envision where you are going? How would you start? By feeling your feelings. By being honest with yourself. By being kind to yourself. By understanding you are doing your best right now, and trusting your instincts. When you understand your feelings, you are kinder to others, because you see the nature inside of them, is connected to the nature inside of you. Seeing that you are a part of nature naturally generates a feeling of care for the envir

onment. Let nature guide you. When you need a different point of view, go outside. Feel the fresh air in you lungs. Remember we are spinning on a star in our universe! Believe in yourself, and the miracle of life. Good luck with your time travel! Let me know where it takes you!

A Special Message to the Overachievers!

When you direct your attention to within, you no longer have time for criticism and judgment of others; you see conflict as a misunderstanding, and look for solutions to give clarity to the misunderstanding. When you can see conflict for what it is, you will not be overcome by conflict. Conflict is usually generated by a misunderstanding which you have projected on yourself or others and it includes perceived unfulfilled desires. When I have or see there is conflict, I ask myself, what is the desire? I then evaluate the desire, by asking myself, it this really true? Using clarity most of the time conflict can be resolved by utilizing compassion, encouragement and understanding.
