Elle6 months agoElleHow to listen better to what my body needs & wants for nourishment, fun & self-care. I never use to think of it when I was younger, but- I have been learning how to appreciate my body for getting me around in this world. 2 Reply Javier Visionquest6 months agoJavier VisionquestI am a dense cloud of haunted dust 3 Reply Michele6 months agoMicheleThat sounds like that would be a great first sentence of a book. 2 Reply Malag6 months agoMalagThat it is awesome. I notice things in the way I move that I’ve never noticed before: the habitual ways that I organise my body in movement. It is fascinating how complex ‘simple’ movements are. And then there’s walking. So much brain power involved. So complex that robots can’t be programmed to come even close to human walking gait. 5 Reply Michele6 months agoMicheleI have no idea why, but this made me think of how John Travolta walks, lol. 2 Reply Malag6 months agoMalag… and then there’s his dancing 0 Reply Anonymous6 months agoAnonymouswell, staying alive comes to mind 3 Reply Brown Rose6 months agoBrown RoseMy body is teaching me that everything is connected and listening to my body will not mean I will understand what it is saying or that I will know what to do with that information. 2 Reply Anonymous6 months agoAnonymousUse it or lose it, keep moving. First I pushed too hard, took a hit, now I push too little. Looking for balance but still giving myself that daily hug and saying “oh honey”. 5 Reply sparrow6 months agosparrow. . . that my body is only on loan, and to get the best out of it, I need to listen to it and take care of it . . . I’ve also learned to love my scars and blemishes, the wrinkled and arthritic fingers that have touched the world, and have created beauty . . . they have earned every wrinkle. My body has earned every scar . . . I love my body for all the pleasure it has given me and for what it has allowed me to experience. 5 Reply Antoinette6 months agoAntoinetteIt’s teaching me how everything is impermanence and empty of a self . 3 Reply Don Jones6 months agoDon JonesThat it is the mystery that I should lean into – nay, yield to. 3 Reply MamaCyndi56 months agoMamaCyndi5Slow down. Breathe. Feed it well. Move it regularly. Take care of it while I on this earthly planet and it will provide me with what I need. Treat it poorly and it will let me know. Overall, love it like you would another. 3 Reply Mary Pat6 months agoMary PatTo pay attention. I have not done that for the majority of my life, so this is new territory for me. I have tried for years, but seem to fall back into my old ways sometimes. Then I remember, and once again pay attention. I remember to thank it for all it has done for me, and I tell it how grateful I am for it….ALL OF YOU ON THE EASTCOAST.my prayers and blessings today with the snow cyclone you are getting.

It loves to be stretched, contracted. It is happiest when I eat lots of plants, consume alcohol moderately, drink lots of water, sleep 8 or 9 hours. 6 Reply Mica6 months agoMicaHow difficult it can be 2 Reply Hermann-Josef6 months agoHermann-JosefThat which is the Source of all creation must be Intelligence, creativity and love.

I can’t just keep going – despite injury and exhaustion – and expect it to heal. 9 Reply Ose6 months agoOseIt is a miracle to wake up every morning, as it is to fall asleep also at night. To be deeply grateful that it is, that we may arrive to another day. What gives live to our body and mind? A mystery, which is touched by Ed´s reply. Thank you, dear Ed for your hints in this respect. 5 Reply Ed Schulte6 months agoEd SchulteHI again Just to share this very complete oversight of the Human body from a very ancient perspective. It all cooilates to the 5 point star and shows that there is no coincidence why we are in the body form, A Perfect 5 pointed star. Now our role as human beings is to live the teachings of the perfect man through the abilities given to us. Through these abilities, we have the five senses, sight, sound, smelt, taste and touch. Again, we have a number 5. BINGO 30 Touched is very close to...HI again Just to share this very complete oversight of the Human body from a very ancient perspective. It all cooilates to the 5 point star and shows that there is no coincidence why we are in the body form, A Perfect 5 pointed star. Now our role as human beings is to live the teachings of the perfect man through the abilities given to us. Through these abilities, we have the five senses, sight, sound, smelt, taste and touch. Again, we have a number 5. BINGO 30 Touched is very close to matter, and the basic organ is the hand which is five fingers, again we see the number 5. Our fingers are like antennas to grasp certain vibrations. [11;05] So we see that the human being is a living five pointed star on the material level and also on the spiritual level for it holds and expresses the five virtues. Love, Wisdom, Truth, Justice and Goodness. The virtues of Christ. Goodness is the only solid base that everyone can learn on. All are supported by it. Justice is a measure, to be fair requires one to know how to keep balance. Wisdom is a barrier to protect us from external enemies, or, from our self. Love gives joy. Without Love our life would be without any meaning. [12:18] Remember what is said in the Bible, if you have reached knowledge and everything but you do not have love then you are nothing. The Truth is the light, to light our way. Without truth we live in an illusion and lies. So the five virtues are essential for the development of man. Unfortunately few people know the boundary between virtues and the human body. Goodness is connected with the feet. Justice is connected with the hands. Love with the mouth. Wisdom with the ears and Truth with the eyes. And on….. Truth belongs to the spirit, Love belongs to the soul, Wisdom belongs to the mind, Goodness belongs to the heart. Justice belongs to the will. Now we can see another thing equivalent to the five elements. Earth, water, fire, air and Ether. The Will is equivalent to the earth. The Heart to water. The intellect/mind to air, the Soul to fire. and the Spirit to Ether. With our spirit-soul-will-intellect and-heart we are in connection with the five elements that work in the universes. And in this way we can work consciously and harmoniously with them. At this point we are at the meaning of the symbol of the double 5 pointed star, the small which is in the big, the micro-cosmos who lives and works in the macro-cosmos, God. [14;20] God created man according to his image. Man, the microcosmos, created according to the image of God. So man has inside of him the elements and all the qualities that exist in the macro-cosmos. [15;15] We have all the qualities and virtues of God but very often human beings feel poor and miserable. And this is because they cannot harmonize, simultaneously, and comply with the divine archetype, which they are a reflection [of]. [15;40] To harmonize they must know the law of cohesion, affinity, co-vibration. [15;51] BINGO 32 We have said that [in] the small five pointed star, we find the spirit, soul, intellect/ mind, heart and will. If we manage to make all these vibrate then we will connect with five cosmic qualities and they will return to us multiplied. We have to make the small 5 pointed star open in the big five pointed star.
