May 10: On the Board at Good Life Yoga
Honor Your Human Form
We are spirit and body. Neither is better than the other, however, in this society we tend to acknowledge the body with negative regard. It is not what we want somehow. This ‘food body’ is cumbersome, messy, painful at times and not at all gloriously beautiful. Or is it? Can we truthfully acknowledge the incredible opportunity our body has afforded us? Can we look at this home to our spirit as in every way sacred too? What holds us back from this?
In the Tantric philosophy that informs our practice of Anusara yoga, we endeavor to see the body as an equal to our spirit. We choose to see its beauty and wholeness. Set your perspective this week to completely, and truthfully acknowledge the sacredness of your own body. Complete with warts and whatnots. It is divine in every way. It shares the truth of your being. It is your partner for this life. This week we honor it accordingly.
