Your Body

You learned not to feel me. The hundreds of years of history within you- the ancestry that you are a living expression of- turned its gaze away from me long ago, casting me as a mere vessel of intellect and physical feats.

It seems that you are now becoming sensitive to the fact that I am the storehouse of the original intelligence that birthed you, that I have the potential to contain the light of your soul. A possibility to be the very home in which You, the eternal one, can find a home. Be it for a short or long period, I can hold eternity. And you, my friend, are that.

However, we shall not remain ignorant of the fact that the denial of me, your body, over the millennia has led the soul to see that it is not safe here. You haven’t been able to land fully in me because of past scars. Therefore, the powerful intelligence of nature that you have access to through me is unavailable.

So, I’m sending you this letter hoping that you may see this to be one of your missions here. To repair your relationship with me, which will create the capacity for you to land here and do whatever else is needed from you. But, I must say, you have to start with this. For if you try to start with the other stuff that you are here to do, you will find that it won’t quite meet the mark. Life intends to create through you, but you will find that things fall apart because your container (that’s me!) can’t hold your creative energy.

Then what happens? Maybe some things that are all too familiar. You end up creating agreements that compromise your integrity, lack drive, innovate but don’t feel worthy of sharing yourself with the world, react instead of respond, and have a general dissatisfaction that underlies the things you do, and the list goes on.

You must feel me, first. Because then the river flows freely without any dams, meaning your light will move through you in ways that will express what’s necessary, naturally. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, bringing the light back into the areas of me that have been cut off includes not only your life but also the many who have come before you.

I say fortunately because this most definitely didn’t start with you but it has an opportunity to end with you. Otherwise, you unconsciously pass it to the next in line. The other side of the coin, arguably the unfortunate part (although still fortunate and beautiful in the end), is that once you are sensitized to this you will have no choice but to work it out. Again, life wants this integration so it can create freely.

I leave you with a few things in your journey of union with me.

Feeling is a natural part of living. As natural as breathing. It’s not something that can be forced or works better under pressure. Remember, where you could not land in me was your wisdom. Your work lies in untangling the knot that was created to save you in the past, which consists of becoming intimate with resistance. Through which, you will restore trust in me.

The parts that have been cast off will slowly return in time. With gentle persistence and grace, you will unlearn what made you fear me. And with this newfound sensitivity, you will gain everything.

I thank you for taking this responsibility wholeheartedly. I wish us the best on our journey forward, together. And I trust that, when the time is right, we will reconcile our disconnection.

All my love,

Your Body
