YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE

Dear Friends,

“My body is the temple holding my soul.
And it is up to me to take care of it and love it as it is”
Kelly Robbins

How often do you think of your body as a Temple of the Living God? Probably not often. We look at ourselves in the mirror and find all the things we do not like about our body, rather than looking at it in AWE and respect. Our human body is holding our soul and spirit while we are here on earth. And every atom, cell and molecule are keenly aware of their Divinity. Our monkey minds/ego forget how precious our bodies really are.

I love the topic of the June Science of Mind Magazine “THE BODY TEMPLE.”       Kelly Robbins has a wonderful article in there. She says,
“According to Genesis, the body is a creation of divine life…” Our body holds our Divine Life. Our body is a vessel to experience life in this world.”
When we come to terms with that idea, we realize not only can we love the soul, spirit, and God within, we can and need to LOVE our body, flesh and bones.

T – TALK to your body. It hears you. All is consciousness so what you are THINKING is bringing relief or hurt. TOUCH the area of pain and whisper words of healing, wholeness and love.
You are the TEMPLE of the Living God
E – EXERCISE. Stretching and moving the body will keep it feeling good. Find something that appeals to you; biking, jogging, swimming, yoga, the treadmill, and/or walk with a friend. Make it fun. Your body will thank you. When my legs start aching, I know it is time to MOVE and do something. Yoga and Walking keep my legs, feet and the rest of my body feeling good.
EAT Healthy foods!
M – MIRROR MIRROR on the wall, who is the most beautiful of all? I AM!
Say that to yourself every time you look in the mirror. Saying I AM is your Truth. God is the Mighty I AM Spirit which you are
P – PRAY and affirm PERFECT health. Whether you stand, kneel, sit, dance or sing your prayer, wholeness is your Divine birthright!
L – LOVE every part of you inside and out. When you LOVE yourself, you are respecting, honoring and appreciating all the GOOD you are. When we love and respect ourselves, others will love and respect us.
E – ETERNAL YOU is in your human body. ‘I believe that heaven (God, Spirit…) is within you and that you will experience it to the degree that you become conscious of it.’ This is taken from “What We Believe” by Ernest Holmes. Once you are conscious (thinking and feeling agree) of Spirit as your health and wholeness within and AS your body, you will experience health and wholeness.
Your eternal wholeness continues when it is time to slip through the veil to the other side.

Blessings,
Abigail and Steve
