The body exists as an inseparable part of Existence. All of the principles that guide the process of Existence are manifesting in the body. Like every formation, the body is a miniature universe. The body is matter, energy, Consciousness, and Awareness simultaneously, and its health depends on its harmonious relationship to the whole of Existence.
When we identify with the body and ascribe a
personal meaning to it, we forget that the body
is not something other than Existence itself.
Its physical matter is constantly in the process
of formation and transformation, as is its energy.
In the moment we realize that the body is Existence
manifesting, we are healthy. We let go of our
personal identification with the body. Instead
of fear, worry, and judgment related to the body’s condition, we have confidence in our body’s instinctive wisdom as a natural expression of Existence.
We recognize that the body does exactly what
it needs to do to adjust itself to the many varied
energies it receives. Instead of mentally and
emotionally reacting to our body and interfering
with its natural functioning, we have acceptance
of its temporary manifestations and conditions.
As a result, the body does a better job of revitalizing
itself.
Our level of consciousness has a great impact
on our health and vitality. Conscious-ness is
a food. The more real Self-knowledge
is present, the more we are nourished by it.
The moment we experience “body breathes,” we move in the direction of health. When we have a taste of “there is a body,” we are a step farther along.
When we know “I exist,” we become even more vital. In moments of Conscious-Awareness, we taste the unity of all life, and we have perfect health. Our physical body, mind, and feelings are fully accepted as they are, and we are in harmony
with Existence.
