Say Yes To Your Body

     Do you know what, I have been feeling so much like myself again lately and does have a few reasons actually.
    Firstly, I have been moving my body in ways I enjoy and that bring me joy. I was brought up in a way that the importance of physical exercise, however it might look like for you, is a crucial part of feeling balanced. I used to swim competetively, I was always quite into running, I loved playing volleyball and floorball, I love watching sports, too. And the fact that I am just about to turn thirty in less than 5 months and am coming back to re-discover this old passion of mine is kind of beautiful. And in the way that it suits my body and my needs and my stamina. Because in order to be able to enjoy it, you have to find the specific type of body movement that resonates with you and does not punish you.  
    Secondly, I have been doing meditative breathwork regularly and just going deeper and deeper. This one is a special one. I have been part of meditative circles on and off since 2020. Mostly online, that is probably important to mention. But in the past few months I started going to in person meditations with a gong and with active breathwork and with singing bowls and with visualisations and man oh man was I missing out! Don't get me wrong, online meditations are great and all but it just does not hit the same as in person sessions and journeys do. I feel like I have learned so much about myself and had a couple of pretty profound experiences and I just feel so grateful to have the possibility and opportunity to go deeper within mysef.        
    Thirdly, I learned to trust my body and myself and therefore I am able to reach the level of authenticity that is the highest possible vibration there is. (Yeah, for real, one would think the highest possible level of vibration for people is the feeling of love, but no no, authenticity is the one.)
    It's like I have been experiencing all these situations that put me in the posistion of being allowed to be fully myself, like dancing with strangers I met two hours ago to The Smiths and properly reading a book by Stephen King for the first time in my life. It's like singing and playing the guitar with a guy you met briefly and people giving you coins for your performance. It's like being so comfortable with your own company. It's like saying yes to things that excite you and knowing your limits.
    The bottomline is, your body is not your temple but it is also not a dumpster. It is what you make and believe it to be and it carries wisdom and generational traumas and you simply have to trust the process of becoming.
