My Body ~ My Temple

As I continue to open on this amazing spiritual awakening I have been gifted, my emotions have been turned upside down. I have healed many but still continue to work healing many others. Now, I find myself in great need of healing my body.

For my entire life, I have used food to comfort, to fill a void, to love myself when I felt unloved. But no more. I must look at my body as the sacred temple that houses my most beautiful soul. I must remember, it is a temporary housing that must regularly be cared for so that it will provide the needed strength to carry me through this lifetime.

Let us for a moment think about where we physically live. If our home developed a leak ~ would we not have it attended to immediately to prevent further damage. If our homes heating system broke down ~ would we not arrange to have it repaired so it would provide the necessary warmth in frigid winter temperatures. If a window was smashed ~ would we not replace it in order to keep what belongs on the outside in its place and protect the valuable loved ones inside. The same applies to my body, my temple ~ maintaining it should not be an afterthought which for my lifetime it has been.

So how will I change my thought processes and reach my ultimate goal of good health.

The first is discipline upon which I must work on to help me accomplish my goal. No more food to fill a void, no more eating just because.

The second is cravings. Here I will put my discipline to the ultimate test in fighting my cravings, looking deeply within as to why I constantly crave a certain type of food. What emotion drives me again and again to these empty, sugary food products? And what emotions are these products fuelling? What, if anything are they doing for me besides damaging the delicate balance of my health?

The third is to look at my food as the building blocks that will provide the needed energy for my body while honouring it. By not ingesting foods with lower vibrations, I honour my temple and allow it to grow into the strong body it should and will be.

This will be the hardest part yet of this amazing journey, as I have fed this body excesses of carbohydrates and sugars. So changing to a whole food approach, saying goodbye to these empty foods will take copious amounts of discipline, but I feel prepared for this challenge. The high energies this year with it's many super-moons has provided me quiet, down time where I have slowed myself and listened to the messages provided from spirit, many of which have been directly about my physical health and how I care for myself. I intend to enjoy my best possible health in these senior years and will continue working to reverse the damages I have caused through poor eating habits.

So, wish me luck as I slowly embark on this new and most difficult phase of my journey. Reminding myself each day that I AM WORTHY and that I am in my best possible health while making every effort to become the amazing woman I know I can be.
