Mind, Body, Soul - Part 4

Getting my body back - Day 56

Last time, we talked about the glitch in the connection between the mind and the soul by societal conditioning and retraining. We'll continue from here.

In one's attempt to be like everybody else, you lose your uniqueness, inspired creativity and connectivity to your soul and Spirit. Life becomes empty and dull as you try to find your place. Full expression of the Spirit, imparted through your mind, body and soul, contributes to your unique embedded make-up. If you were created to think as another, you would have been given their brain. If you were to feel like someone else, you would have been given their feelings. In the same way, your body and your soul express who you are.

In order to get your attention, the Spirit periodically sends messages to your outer world; in nature, through messengers, perhaps a sign on a billboard or through a cloud in the sky. If the messages are not understood, another may be sent to your body; whether through sickness, through the awesome miracle of life or adverse circumstances. I am not advocating that God puts the sickness on you, but unfavourable events do create opportunities for soberness.

Messages may also be sent to the mind; through your understanding of events or creativity. One or a combination of these avenues may be used with constant signs, symbols and examples to get you to turn toward the Spirit and stir up your curiosity enough for you to reconnect to the Source.

As we yield to the Spirit's call, we find that our perspective on life changes. We become calmer and more attentive to the details of life. The things we've taken for granted in the past, we've come to appreciate them and are thankful for them. What made us anxious, we embrace with peace. What made us worry, we now have the confidence that all is working out to bring us good. What you focused on before now becomes dim and faded as your focus shifts to the light within.

You are unique and your connection to the Spirit through your soul is also unique. My method may not be the same as yours, but as you turn and move forward to the Spirit's light, the way is opened to you to enter in and be one in unique communion with the Alpha and Omega of your soul.

Fuelling words: I allow the Spirit to be expressed through my soul, my mind and my body.

Routine: Warm-ups, stretches, aerobics, toning and strength exercises, cool down.

Visualization - keeping focus on my goal; healthy, strong and my ideal body weight and shape.

Deep breathing - relaxes the muscles and sends oxygen to the muscles where exercising alone would not reach.

Mix it up, adding variety.
