Your Body is a Magick Wand
You may have heard the saying: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” But have you ever considered what that really means?
To me, that’s a reminder of how we are made of spirit. When you think about it, no matter what your physical body looks like, tall, short, slim or thick, your spirit is the best part of you.
When we die, all that’s left of us is a shell of skin and bones, while our spirit, the thing that animates that shell, goes somewhere else. Many of us believe that our spirit lives on forever.
There is a school of thought that says that each of us, before we incarnated on this earth as humans, our spirit agreed that we have some kind of work to do while we are here. And that this is work that we wouldn’t be able to do without this physical body. Our spirit could be floating around in the astral plane somewhere, but it might not be able to see, touch, taste, dance, sing, scream, listen, etc, without having a physical body to express its needs.
Thinking about this now, it reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend earlier this week who admitted that she was just starting to get comfortable with her body, and what it looked like in a bathing suit. At the time, I said that our bodies are the only one we have, so we might as well make peace with it.
We were talking about summer bodies and how they looked in bathing suits, but when I now view this conversation through the lens of how our body is a home for our divine essence, I feel surprisingly less self-conscious.
Think about it. What does your size or shape really have to do with your soul’s Divine Mission? I’m pretty sure that my Divine Mission isn’t to be a supermodel.
If anything, my Divine Mission is to live a life of my own choosing, and inspire others to do the same. And having a belly and big thighs isn’t keeping me from doing that. So the summer is gonna get whatever body I bring to it.
And my spirit is gonna tell me what it wants, and I’m gonna listen to it.
