If you are lucky enough to live near the coast, you may be able to swim in the ocean frequently.
This gift, of immersing the self in the briny deep, of becoming buyount in the salted water, and using your own body to move and frolic with the waves, is astounding. You don’t have to surf, or body board, or do any particular thing when you’re in the water. Just standing, waist or chest high, so you can feel it all, your full immersion in another environment, is plenty. You, with your supple beautiful skin, are able to do this; you are an animal that can go into water, or on land, or in air. You can exist in multiple environments, with multiple elements. The waves have a language all their own. If you stand there, baptizing yourself in this great glorious deep, you will be able to hear it, first with your body, then with your soul. Much love, SARA If you can learn to be easy in your body, your life will become easier too.
When we’re young, and not quite yet used to our body, we might spend a lot of time adoring it, or hating it, or being ashamed of it, or being proud of it. As years follow, our body changes: we start to age, and we can either do battle with products and surgeries and self loathing, or we can decide that age does not have a foregone conclusion. There are many cultures where age doesn’t matter: where a sixty-year-old person has the body of a thirty-year-old. In these cultures, regardless of age, there is ease in the body, ease in the human container. There is a sense of appreciation for all our bodies can do: climb, sit, stretch, make love, dance, walk. In truth, our bodies are the coolest machines ever, and we get to use them from birth until we die! Take some time to let go of shame around your body, and simply enjoy your container, exacly as it is now. Not thinner or bigger or smaller or stronger. If you want to change it, you can. But before you change it, learn to love it. Learn to feel it, know it, exactly as it is, in this moment. Be easy in your body, as you are right now. Much love, SARA Being in the Now is a marvelous thing. It helps us focus on the beauty of the moment or pay attention to the task at hand; it helps us let go of pain of the past, or fear about the future.
And yet even if we work at living in the Now, there is also the reality that we DO have memories of the past, that we DO have dreams for the future. In this way, there is extraordinary value in taking it all in: all the life we’ve lived up until Now. Our childhood, our teen years, our adult years and all joy and disappointment and growth we experienced then. All this, balanced by the dreams we still want to accomplish, do, feel. |
