What a sacred vessel that God gave us to move through the world!
Most of the time, our bodies with all their intricacies faithfully work on their own without us ever thinking about it, giving us the freedom to fully express ourselves in the world.
Our bodies are living miraculous systems of aliveness, who are invested in maintaining their own lives -and ours.
Our heart is almost like an infinite time machine, pumping precious life fluids through our veins without our ever thinking about it.
Our lungs transmute the air we breathe into parcels that feed our myriads of cells and keep us alive. Unless we focus on our breath, this process also occurs without ever a thought on our part.
When an attacker such as a bacteria or virus enters our blood system, an entire military complex of white blood cells attack and surround the invaders, killing them and flushing them out of our system.
Our liver, also a much un-thought of organ attacks toxins that enter our system from air, water and things we eat. Our liver works hard to break toxic compounds into non-toxic compounds that then may be either integrated or flushed out of the body.
Our kidneys filter our blood, eliminating old tired cells.
Each organ that we have within us serves a Divine purpose that honors the greater good of our physical and emotional being.
Each system, whether it be the digestive system, the circulatory system, the eliminator system, our skin, the muscle system, the nervous system -- all work together in harmony to maintain our life force.
We have multi yards of intestinal tract. Our blood vessels if stacked end to end could circle the world five times.
What a sacred vessel that God gave us to move within the world.
I believe that given the precious Gift we have of our health, it's important for each of us to remember and give thanks for this Gift.
Good health is one of the greatest prosperities that anyone can have.
Our bodies tolerate a remarkable amount of stress and still maintain themselves in the face of it.
Instead of judge a skin flab here, a gray hair there, let us give thanks and treat ourselves with the loving kindness that we truly deserve.. our bodies included.
