This is so beautiful! Yes the power of words. They are our spells :)
I’ve been working with the concept of attempting to relate to my body and flesh without those labels that have meaning and purpose to a system outside of me, and rather attempt to get to know my body intimately through reverence and without trying to dominate it.
I love to hear that your wisdom had such a lasting and profound impact ❤️ Doesn’t surprise me at all. Xoxo
Yessss. Feeling this too. I’m in a space with other women where we are exploring an edgy concept along the lines of: “who am I to think I get to like my body all the time”.. basically viewing your body as earth and having total reverence to it regardless of how “likeable” or “sexy” it may be by societal standards or to others.
When I first heard this I gasped 😱 and was like what?? how dare anyone suggest that?! I LOVE my body and have to at all times!!! 😅
And then I’ve been leaning into it. Like wow, yeah maybe the purpose of having a body isn’t about “liking” it or “looking pretty” all the time. but to rather fully inhabit it and truly appreciate its intelligence without trying to dominate it into being something else… ooof 😅 big stuff that I’m just now soaking in. Trying it on for size and it’s uncomfortable and also incredibly liberating.
