What Our Bodies Are Made Of

I may have blogged about this before, but I am going to again.

Our bodies are made of countless universes of entities that have come together out of love to give us this experience.

As I was laying in bed this morning I was renewing a meditation I learned from Allison Rice at a women's retreat she hosted.  After a couple hours of kundalini yoga she had us all lay on the floor and  say, out loud, as we focused our attention on different parts of our bodies, "I bless myself, I am, I am."

I worried about being sacrilegious for a moment, but then I tried it to see what would happen.

As I said these words I was focusing on my right elbow and a vision opened up to me.  I saw that each tiny element of my body is alive, individually!  Each moving, living, aware, part, down to the billions and billions of universes of moving atoms, electrons, neutrons, and whatever else exists on that tiny scale, is aware, thinking, working, moving, living, and cooperating with the whole, to create my body, so I could experience this physical life in this physical body!  And to top it all off, these entities are doing this out of love!

I had been taught in my life that we exist in this physical world as part of a grand plan for our advancement, our learning, our development.  This vision showed me that there is much more to the grand plan than I had previously realized!  I had also been taught that we are never alone and this vision showed me that fact in a previously unimagined way.  Not only do we have guardian angels around us as well as other spiritual entities, we live within a cooperative of physical entities who have given us this opportunity to live, move, learn, affect and be effected by the world around us.

How beautiful is that!  How amazing that understanding makes me feel.  How much more of a group effort my life is than I had previously known.

This knowledge has helped me love my body more.  I love every part of my body now.  The wrinkles, the age spots, the fat cells doing their part, as well as the parts that make me beautiful to others.  My body has been with me my whole life!  My wonderful hands, my legs, my eyes, my heart.  I am so grateful for all of this!

I share because this is something that is not just for me.  Like the molecules in my body cooperate with each other, we can cooperate with each other, sharing insights and understandings, to help each other understand this life a little bit more.
