MY BODY IS MERELY THE
SHELL OF MY SOUL
There’s a
verse in the song “Eagles and Horses” – John Denver which says.... “my body is
merely the shell of my soul... but the flesh must be given its due.. like a
pony that carries its master back home... like an old friend whose tried and
been true...
I’ve
struggled with the BODY all of my life. I would get angry “why did I get the stretch marks, the cellulite, the obesity,
the fine horrible hair etc etc??? And it’s taken me a long time to work it out.
Now I feel
that if I had the so-called “body beautiful” that most people are constantly
striving to attain, I wouldn’t have discovered
the amazing insights into my soul that I have found especially in the last 20
years, because (for sure) I would have been flaunting myself all over the place.
A part of me knows that.. So “Thank you Universe for my Body”
THANKYOU – MY BODY
You
are my valued teacher
You
take my challenges and reflect them back to me
Thankyou
for being a patient mentor
I
value your strength of being
Your
power
Your
profound potential
I
honour you
Your
ability to rejuvenate knows no bounds
I
experience your healing power with gratitude
I
experience my well being
My
body is a harmony of being
I
am so fortunate for this opportunity
To
experience my physical being
I
embrace my physicality
Thankyou
my body, for sharing this life with me

A few years ago I spotted this ode on my friend Helen’s
fridge. I asked her whether I could have a copy and she gave me hers.
Today, I spotted this on my friend Narelle’s face book page.
So glad I have learned the lesson of THE BODY and the lesson of SURRENDER before I have reached the end of my days as happens with many.
And then came this............. which sums up much of what I’ve
come to believe. Thanks Jim Carrey...
