On listening to your body

We have underestimated this pile of cells we walk around in

Our bodies are more magical than we think

Not magical in the sense of say a special word, do a special trick

But magical in the intuitive

Wonderfully made

And miraculously powerful way

And we underestimate our body every day

We even ignore it for years

We silence it across a lifetime

We trample over it in the name of work or hustle

Rest isn’t weakness

Exercise isn’t a pursuit toward skinny

Feeding our body health isn’t extraneous

Meditation and self-care aren’t lavish indulgence

It is all food for our body

And if we listen

It will ask for it

When we start listening

When we give our body what it asks for

We find health

We create balance

We get in alignment

We harness it’s power

And magic

How powerful and magical do you want to be?
