Body Love

Take sweet care of your body this week!

Your body is your home, your temple, and you only have one.

My very grandpa, who is now 87 and spent years of focusing on money and gain, reminded me recently of how important the body is. He said that if you don’t have your body, you don’t have anything. It’s true!

Five Simple Steps

So let’s give some Body Love today with five simple steps:

• Take a Moment to Pause and Bring Your Attention Inward
• Notice Your Body’s Sensations and any Tension
• Ask Your Body: How are you doing? What Do You Need Today?
• Listen Without Filtering
• Give to Your Body What it Asked for Today

Listen to your body’s story and expression. Sense into it. Allow yourself to listen to anything it says without judgment. Do whatever your body has asked for whether it be a time out, a bath, rest, movement, setting up an appointment to see your massage therapist, etc.! If your body has asked for something that may not be a reasonable or healthy reality, imagine giving it to your body in your mind and experience what happens.

The Koshas

The physical level of our entire physiology, annamayakosha in Sanskrit, is the outermost layer of our being. It is the concrete manifestation of our inner and spiritual beliefs and experiences. Anna means “food” and kosha means “sheath or layer.” This encompasses physical movement or exercise (yogasana/yoga poses for example), our living space, our surroundings and climate, daily rituals, and nutrition.

For this and the next 5 weeks, we will dive into one of the levels of the physiology from the outermost (physical) to the innermost (spiritual and pure consciousness). Follow along with me to get the inside scoop on your entire physiology!

Give some love to your Spirit and ground your beautiful body!

Use this Marma Point to bring a sense of calm and centeredness to your entire energetic system. You can also enhance your spiritual insight and sense with stimulating this point.

Marma Points are tender junctions along the energy channels of the body and provided the mapping of acupressure points in Chinese Medicine. Both traditions use overlapping points. Marma is the Sanskrit word for “hidden, or secret”.

For this one: find the spot between the eyebrows.

Stimulate this point for 2–5 minutes by pressing with firm pressure, pulsing on the point, or pressing and rubbing in very small circles. By doing this, you are stimulating the energetic organ meridians that these points are along, which support balance and flow in the meridians.

The Benefits:

• This is the physical match to the energy of the Sixth Chakra, Ajña (pronounced UH-gee-uh), which holds the energy of your insight, inner wisdom, ability to align with a deeper Self, consciousness, and connect with the will of the universe.
• Brings a deeper spirituality, clearer insight, as well as better vision, symbolically and figuratively.
• Great for calming the mind and Spirit!
• Bringing the energy downward, it relaxes the central nervous system, reduces anxiety, panic attacks, fear and depression
• Treats sleep apnea, restlessness, headaches, and nosebleeds

Heart Healing + Balancing

Give a little love ❤ to your heart with this Marma Point (acupressure point): Heart 7.

Marma points are tender points on the body, where energetic channels cross and are poignant to the balance of our organ systems. This one, in particular, is on the Heart Channel.

The Heart 7 Marma Point is great for relieving:

• Anxiety
• Toxicity in the Heart
• Excess Emotion
• Insomnia
• Pain or Tension in the Inner Arm & Arm Pit

Heart 7 Promotes:

• Balancing
• Grounding
• Restful Sleep

Take 2–5 mins of your day to rub this point on the pinky side of the wrist with the thumb of your other hand. Use firm pressure and either pulse or rub in small circles. You can do this while you’re in transit (assuming you’re not driving!), in a meeting, as you wake up, before bed, and especially if you wake up in the middle of the night. It’s helpful for the heart to do it several times a day.

Heart 7 is one of the Marma Points that is offered for better sleep in the Sound Sleep Alchemy Album. Experience the full greatness of the album here.
