My Body Is Beautiful
The body we are born into acts as our vehicle throughout this lifetime. Some believe we choose this body before we arrive, selecting the perfect model for the lessons on our journey. Our body is not who we are; it is a unique and beautiful creation of God, serving us well while we are here and deserving of our respect. Wishing it were different or comparing it to other bodies will only bring discomfort. Every body is beautiful, regardless of how it looks, how it moves, or how many fingers and toes it has.
Take some time to experience what it's like to be in your body. Feel your body. Touch your body. Look at your body in a mirror, naked if you wish. Do you consider your body to be beautiful? Why or why not? Do you appreciate it? Notice any thoughts or feelings that arise.
