Mantra of the day

I almost forgot to include the mantra of the day. Before I get into it I want to let you know where it comes from.

Some of us actually fear our own bodies. In these modern times we are constantly being shown how our bodies should be perfect through tv and magazines and advertising campaigns. The truth is that most of the girls you see are normally 15 years old and extremely air-brushed. It really isn't perfection at all, just an "artists" work for a client.

I once read a book on reincarnation and it had a quote that influenced the way I see my body: "You are not a body with a soul, you are a soul with a body".

If you do struggle with accepting your own body then here's some friendly advice. Take off all of your clothes, look in the mirror and say these words to yourself. If you find it difficult then do it in stages. You can first do it fully clothed and as each day passes, stand in front of your mirror and remove a piece of clothing until you feel confident about your body.

It does not matter what size your body is, how old you are, your gender or what your race is, give it a try.

And don't be afraid of people taking photos of you. It's not your body they want to remember, it is your spirit.

So take a look at your body, every square inch and don’t be afraid of it. You are your soul not your body.

Bright Blessings
