If you can learn to be easy in your body, your life will become easier too.
When we’re young, we might spend a lot of time adoring our body 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.
As we head into the holidays, it's easy to get stressed about eating, exercising, what your body should or should not do.
It's great to relax all that.
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. Just you, in your body, as you are now.
