Each week, I share a Self – Love Note for you to experiment with and add onto your own ways of treating yourself with love. These include ways to love and care for yourself on all levels — your physical being, your energy body, your emotional and spiritual self, and your development of consciousness. Feel free to share with me your experience and your favorites.

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!

CV 24.5: Conception Vessel 24.5/ Third Eye

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

1. Let Your Body Lead

Your body is very intelligent. Our bodies naturally follow the changes in season and the natural hibernation and slowness of Winter. If your body wants to rest, do it. If your body wants to play, go for it! Respond to your body’s needs and provide it lots of good nourishment. Go inward and listen to your body’s messages through emotion, sensation, tension and pains.

2. Love Your Insides

Drink an Ayurvedic cleansing and nourishing tea this to fire up your digestive juices as you treat yourself this holiday season. Ginger Turmeric Tea. I like to add lemon and some like a splash of paprika or chili powder. Read up on the benefits of turmeric as anti-inflammatory support for your body.

3. Unplug

In Ayurveda, everything we take through the senses is food. Cleanse your precious body of technology and media intake. Give your body the gift of clearing out the tech clutter and get better sleep, increased digestion and clarity. Try putting a time limit to which you allow your phone/computer to be on or set a 5-10 minute timer for your social media scrolling or email.

4. De-Pressurize

Take the pressure off of yourself to be or feel a certain way around and about the holidays. Be kind and gentle to yourself about how you feel, as you are an ever-evolving creature that feels. Take care of your feelings by noticing them and making meaning of them.

5. Use Discernment

Choose what would be meaningful this month and say no to extra events and invites. Notice what brings you a feeling of expansiveness or joy vs. constricted or tense and use that to inform your decisions about your needs and wants.

6. Open to Gratitude

Find ways to voice your gratitude to yourself and others. Feel the good vibes in your body! Know that feeling into gratitude brings you more of what you are grateful for.

7. Let Things Die That Need To

Leaves fall and crumble to form compost for Spring growth. Let what needs to end or die to do so with the natural cycle of life and death. Create new space for life, creativity, and intentions in the new year by consciously putting your attention towards what needs to go or break off. Practice the Ally with Death Visualization that I have created for you to move you through a truthful and powerful experience of facing your fears, letting all of what has been rotting away at you go, and living a life that matters to you.

8. A Word for 2017

For your 2017 intentions, choose a word or a few words that you would like to embody this year. Put the words, “I am…” in front of this word and see what it would look like to embody these words for yourself. I am radiant… I am emboldened… Have fun with this! Here are some ideas for power words and words of the year.

Have a Sweet Holiday!
