The body as the centre of our life

 

I love learning new things, knowing new people and alternative ways of thinking. That’s why I use to attend to conferences and talks which bring me inspiration and fresh air. For example, last Sunday, on a guided meditation, the coach told us to take consciousness of all the resources we have: our home, our relatives, ... in that moment I clearly understood that my body is my most important resource.

I realized that our body is the centre of our existence. Our organism allows us to experience everything that we go through and it is by acting on it that we are able to shift from one state to another. This represents an immense super power: we can transform what we feel by moving, interacting with our environment or changing the conditions we are in. For example, when I am not able to think fluently and my mind keeps in a toxic circle, I go outside, walk, breathe, connect with the atmospheric conditions and I become a truly new person. We have the capacity to renew ourselves only by altering the circumstances in which we are.

It seems magic due to when feel one way we cannot imagine that we are able to be in another state because that concrete information is everything we have in that moment and it controls us. It’s difficult to find a solution in the same dimension that has generated the problem, as Einstein wrote. But when we activate our body, a torrent of hormones and a whole wave of chemistry begins to metamorphose our existence and conduces us to a renovated way of being.  We truly feel like new and nothing is how it used to be because we have achieved a different point of view. It is more effective than any medicine. Going outside and liberating the animal we are by letting our body restore its natural functions (that is to be in movement) equilibrates us physically and psychologically. Harmony, light and power is what we feel because we are nurturing our true nature, giving it what it needs: flow, motion and rhythm. And it provides us with satisfaction, a sense of well-being and connection with our essence. In fact, pleasure is the guiding light that shows us our path. When our body is active, we experience euphoria, self-confidence and brightness. Being conscious of it is like being the owners of a wand that allows us to choose how we want to feel. Isn’t it amazing?
