The Beauty of the Body
8 June 2006
Comments from Angela
There are some amazing insights about the body in this reading, in
particular that we have all chosen our specific body, including its
so-called imperfections for very good reason. There is also a tender and
uplifting teaching on suicide, as well as learning about:
• Spirit does not lead humanity
• Transformation takes time
• Being patient with your transformation process
• Spirit takes care of the timing
• Your loved ones evolve with you
• Your body is perfectly suited to your highest plan
• The beautiful system of the body
• Integration between the divine self and the physical self
• Experiences of suicide
• Forgiveness for suicide
• Balancing soul energy with physicality
• The way of the master
• Grounding the light
• Integration is the goal
• The body as messaging system
• The look of the body vs the feel of the body
• Your body knows your highest path
Spirit Does not Lead Humanity
Following you has been in many ways a tremendous adventure for us.
Please notice that we have suggested that we follow you and not that it
is meant to be the other way around! Sometimes humanity presumes that it
is intended to follow God, that it must put God’s will and plan first
and it must simply follow that. And yet here we are suggesting to you
that we follow you. There are different roles that we have in our
partnership with you and some of these we can talk about, or elucidate,
but leading is not one of them. No, we are responders to your lead and
that is why we have said that we follow you. Not in the sense that we
obey you, nor in the sense that we do not have power or will of our own,
but in the sense that you are in charge of your agenda on earth and it
is so wonderful for us to see you working your way through and making
your progress that we have no desire at all with you, nor any other
human, to take away the lead. Even, as we have said, it has been for us
a tremendous adventure.
It may not be so that you consider yourself adventurous, it may not be
so that you embrace extreme living of any kind and yet, in the realms
from which we speak, you have been extremely adventurous. In the sense
that we have watched you take risks, we have seen you open up to things
that have the potential to be frightening, life-changing, revolutionary,
ridiculed and yet you have done them, you have absorbed them, you have
lived them. So if we could call you a spiritual adventurer we would, one
who is not scared to take risks in her understanding, one who is not
scared to move into new areas that perhaps she does not know anything
about, that is what an adventurer does and you are doing it wisely. In
that sense we are thanking you for the ride that we have the privilege
of being with you on.
There are three particular moments, or movements, that we would like to
cover with you today. You are welcome to raise your concerns and we will
move through them. Please go ahead.
I have been working with the three notions: of naming things
differently, being grateful and the third is to respond from the power
line and that is where I seem to have been falling short of in the
response of choosing new thought patterns and perhaps new habits, and
also just an element of trusting in myself that I can change those
thought patterns.
Transformation Takes Time
Thank you. Thank you. Firstly we will mention to you, as many people in your life have mentioned to you, about the aspect of patience. It is not that we are suggesting that monumental change is not available nor that it is not available soon or within the short space of human life but there are good reasons, by the way, for things taking some time to shift entirely. It is not because you are lazy, it is not because you are not doing it right and it is not because you are being punished or held back while the rest of the class moves forward. Not at all. There is tremendous movement going on in your planet at this time, tremendous movement. If it were to go as fast as some of you intend, your physical bodies would have to explode. It is literally that, quite literally. The physical is your vehicle. The way that you understand life in its physicality is required to match your consciousness at any time in order for things to move ahead and the physical can take a lot longer, a lot longer to move to the same place that the awareness or the consciousness has moved. And until the two, as we said, are more or less in line the next evolutionary step is not yet available. There are, as we have said, good reasons then for change or movement taking its time. It allows your physical bodies and everything else in your life which is also physical to change slowly, at its own pace.
Being Patient With Your Transformation Process
If the physical is forced too fast into anything it revolts, its systems start to ring with worry and they go into all sorts of emergency states, the body does and the entire physical does as well. You will have seen possibly in lives of others, or even in your own at certain moments, that when there is a monumental spiritual shift it takes some time for the life of that one - the body, the relationships, the job, the home, the money and so on - to slowly get in line with the shift that has been made. So we are suggesting to you in this, a degree or measure of patience with yourself in your transformation. What we have given you is a lofty goal. We have given you nothing less than what will take you straight to heaven and that is simply a change in thought patterns, a change in perception, an opening up to greater and greater and greater degrees of who you are and how much you are loved. That is nothing short of a totally new human being you are making! We will say that again: that suggestion we have made for revising your thoughts and responses is nothing less than advising you to become a totally new human being, one who has seldom walked with two feet on this planet. So we have not just given you homework for a few months we have given you a new way of being and, in that sense, there is some time to be taken in this or else you will experience difficulty. If you are trying to make it go faster and sooner and bigger and better than in its natural time, the suffering or the difficulty will be experienced on the physical level. As we have said earlier, when you are moving or trying to force the physical to very quickly match the consciousness step you have taken, if you are forcing that, the body revolts and so does the life around you as well. In order to avoid that, in order for the integration to happen gently and slowly, perhaps even imperceptively, we slow things down.
Spirit Takes Care of the Timing
We have suggested already here that we follow you and indeed we are.
Your intentions are so pure. Your intentions to shift your thoughts,
responses, to allow yourself a greater degree of intention is read very
clearly, very purely and so it is underway inevitably. We, however, are
part of what is in charge or in control of the timing of things. If it
were up to you human beings there would often be no time at all! You
would want things immediately, you would want to make the changes
immediately, you would want your new expression of power immediately and
so we do not leave the timing up to you. We are the ones who take charge
of when and in this sense with you what we are suggesting to you with
great love, with great love, we are allowing it slowly. If we were
passing through to you all the available energy you have at one time
your body would explode. Not just the body, as we have said, the
circumstances of your life as well. Because you need to be in a physical
body to bring here your greatest plan, you need to be firmly within a
physical life with relationships and plans and homes and families and so
on, if you are to bring your greatest plan. So, in order for these
things to work smoothly we assist in the timing of your expansion to
allow it to move at a pace that your body and your life can handle. Can
you imagine if you were to totally have hit upon your power line in the
last few months? You would respond so differently to your life and to
the ones in your life that they would mistrust you. Do you see that?
Yes.
Your Loved Ones Evolve With You
When it occurs slowly and quietly and naturally in its own time they
hardly notice the change because they have been used to it slowly. So
they do not treat you as an alien, they do not question what you have
done, your life continues and it simply expands slowly to hold more of
you, to hold the greater amount of energy that you can bring through.
And you are astounding, you are astounding at the amount of energy you
have available to you to bring through from the divine space into
functionality, into the human space. Your ability to channel or conduct
energy is vast. If it occurs slowly, your personal expansion, if it
occurs slowly and quietly over time the ones in your life expand as well
to be able to accompany you and that is the beauty of life. As you
expand the ones who are attached to you, if they give permission for it,
expand too. Whether or not they are working on spiritual things or not
is irrelevant, whether they are agreeing with you in your quest and your
journey and your reading and your exploration is irrelevant. Love is far
more powerful than knowledge or information of any kind and so, if your
energy is expanding quietly, gently in a good pace, the ones who love
you are going to allow themselves to expand so that they can continue
travelling with you. If you were in a short space of time to have very
quickly brought in the high degree of energy or power that we have
suggested is available to you, you would have expanded to the extent
that you would have alienated many, many, many people. Not only that,
your body would have suffered tremendously. With you there is a
discrepancy, or a disjunction if we can put it that way, between the
amount of energetic energy you have and the amount of physical energy
you have. Do you understand what we are saying?
No, not really can you just explain it some more?
Yes. What we are suggesting with you is that you have selected for
yourself a body that is a great deal slower than your mind.
Ok.
Do you understand it that way?
Yes.
It is with beautiful purpose that you have made this choice for exactly
the reasons we are talking on now. Your ability to channel energy is of
such a high degree that, if it were not so that your body was slow and
needed time you would have moved yourself off the planet a long time
ago. We are suggesting that the body you are in is beautifully suited to
allowing the right kind of integration at the right speed so that you
are balanced. For you are such a beautiful, flighty, gossamer-like light
energy; you are so light, so pure, that you have needed this particular
kind of body to keep you grounded, to keep a balance between where you
are travelling energetically and where you are moving in the physical.
Is that understandable?
Yes, it is.
Your Body is Perfectly Suited to Your Highest Plan
Thank you. If you would start to give your body thanks for the job it is
doing it would be even better responding to its highest plan. It is not
a faulty body you have chosen, it is not a lazy one, it is nothing at
all except the absolutely perfect one for you. Part of your greatest
challenge in this life is to learn to channel or conduct energy or
consciousness, - it is the same thing - or power as we have been moving
you into. It is to learn to channel energy, consciousness, power,
healing - all the aspects that you are so profoundly able to move
through you - in a way that allows you to stay in the physical plane for
some time. You have had a great many previous existences where you have
also remembered who you are. This is not the first time you have raised
your awareness, your levels of openness, to this extent. It is not the
first time. But many times you have expanded so fast and so widely in
terms of awareness or consciousness or energetic energy, is what we call
it, that you have not been able to keep that high degree of energy on
the planet and you have cut your life short many times. Do you
understand?
What do you mean by cutting your life short?
In the sense that you have had many lives, the ones we have particularly
mentioned where you have, as you have done this time also, in a short
space of time in early years of life expanded your awareness
magnificently, in many lives where you have done that before you have
not been able to sustain such a high degree of energy and you have died
quite early. Is that more clear?
Ok.
Simply because, simply because, the earth, the earth and everything
physical has to be able to absorb you or has to have an energetic match
to you at any time if you are to be able to continue to be here. If you
are vibrating at a rate that is so high and so fast that the earth is
unable to hold you anymore you will always die. Many people die for that
reason, most in fact. They have raised themselves to the point where the
energy can no longer sustain them, is that more understandable?
Yes but then how can you reach that point where you find that balance?
Thank you. Your body is assisting you beautifully in this in the sense
that, as we have described, it is a much slower energetic system than
your mind. With other people it is the other way round, with other
people their bodies are exceptionally quick to respond with
exceptionally quick metabolism, exceptionally quick abilities to move
and respond and so on and their minds are slower. With you it is just
the other way around. That is an enormous assistance to you. It is not
required for you to suffer as a result of this, not at all. But
understand that your body will always, as is its beautiful job,
compensate or balance your mind and so when you are pushing yourself
very much, when you are urgent with yourself, pressuring yourself on a
mental level, on a consciousness level, when you are pressurizing
yourself to expand, your body is going to get even slower to allow the
balance is that understandable?
Yes.
So it is keeping you grounded and it is worthy of enormous thanks, your
body, for assisting in that balance. But understand also that the more
you exhibit patience with yourself on a mental or consciousness level
the less your body will need to be slow to keep the balance, do you
understand?
I do.
That is how your highest way forward is navigated with you. It is a
dance between the consciousness and the body. It is a dance or balance -
you can see the words end in the same letters ‘balance’ and ‘dance’ for
great reason, they are highly related in how we understand them -
between your expansion on a mental level and the state of your body.
When you are peaceful and quiet and content in your expansion of
consciousness, your body speeds up in every way and the balance is
regained. If you are frenetic or pressuring yourself or pushing forward
hard on the awareness level your body has to slow itself down even more
to be able just to keep you balanced.
In my case how or what does the body, what does my body do when it slows
down?
Thank you. It plants you more firmly on the ground, let us put it that
way, through whatever means it has available. It will make you heavy,
physically heavy, to keep you closer to the ground. It is always, you
can understand it this way, doing the reverse of what the awareness is
doing, always so. If things are getting very, very light and flighty and
ungrounded your body gets heavier. Do you understand?
Yes.
The Beautiful System of the Body
It is a beautiful system, honour it, it is a beautiful system. It is
showing you, your body, at any point in time how well you are conducting
your energy from spirit that you have in such abundance. If you are
having the tendency to lose yourself, to lose your awareness in your
spiritual quests, to become completely absorbed in the esoteric and
ungrounded, your body is going to compensate. It is going to plant
itself heavier in one way or another. It does so by the amount of mass
it carries, the other way that it does so is by retaining water - that
is another way that it will do it try to make you more grounded, more
firmly on the ground. But it is not only restricted to certain numbers
of ways, it will do whatever it can. Sometimes you will find - we have
not seen this with you to this extent but sometimes you will find - in
ones that are similar energetically if they are threatening to lose
themselves in their consciousness and not to bring their energy into the
earth their bodies will conk out entirely, often through back
difficulties. These ones that tend to lose themselves in the level of
consciousness or awareness or the esoteric often their backs will put
them so firmly flat on the ground that for some time they cannot move.
That is how sometimes we have seen it, but there is no need for drastic
measures like that at all. Simply understand that your body is providing
a beautiful balancing system for you so that this time around, no matter
how expanded your awareness gets, no matter how much energy you wish to
channel through - and it is a lot - you do not raise yourself to the
level where you can’t be present in an earth body anymore. So you have
selected a physical body that is working very well with you to assist
you to learn to integrate divine energy into physical. You are so good
at accessing divine energy, it is easy for you. Do you see that?
Yes.
Integration Between the Divine Self and Physical Life
It is so easy for you to move into a space of connection and to have
available to you insight and energy and love and understanding of a
very, very high spiritual degree, that is not the challenge. Whereas for
some of this planet it takes lifetime after lifetime after lifetime
simply to allow themselves to visualise one thing. With you it is easy,
the challenge is to assist this extremely strong flow of divine energy
to take root in the physical so that there is an integration. It is the
point of earth entirely that there is an integration between your divine
self and your physical life. There have been times, as we have suggested
to you in other lives, where you have expanded so fast and with such
ease that it has been unavailable anymore to maintain that kind of
vibration in earth space and so your life would have ended early for one
reason or another. No judgement on that, you are simply, through your
different expressions, learning how to manage your high degree of energy
and that is what we are suggesting here that your body is very carefully
chosen by you to assist in this. If you feel that your body is being
sluggish or retaining water or for some reason not energetic, feeling
heavy, or keeping you down or low, then it is always worth looking at
what you are doing with your spiritual energy at that time. It is
usually an indication that it would be better for you to integrate more.
If the point of earth life were to become un-human, in other words if
the point of earth were to become so immersed in the divine space then
that would be different and your bodies would not be necessary. But the
point of life is not simply to move into the bliss experience again and
again and again, the point of life is to touch your highest self and
allow the beauty of that to have energy, expression, purpose and
manifestation in the physical. So it is to be a conduit of that energy
rather than to try to escape the human condition in order to feel
spiritual. Is that understandable?
Yes, can I just ask bring up something that’s bothering me?
Yes.
When I was at my lowest, you know, I thought about people that killed
themselves and took their lives and it’s something that has worried me
ever since I had that thought that perhaps that was the way out because
of just the loneliness and I am hugely affected by when I hear of people
that have done that and I just don’t know how to respond or its almost
like a fear.
Experiences of Suicide
It is known to you. It is known to you and that is why you respond. It
is in your path. There are some paths that have no connection to suicide
or the ending of a personal life whatsoever. It is not there, it is not
something that they see in their families, it is not something they
experience in friends, they never consider it, in fact they hardly ever
hear the word. That indicates that it is not on their life path. With
you, it is very much so. We have mentioned already earlier, as you
picked up, the understanding that there have been experiences for you -
lives if you want to call them that, we prefer to call them experiences
or expressions - where you have ended your own life. Not just once, a
number of times. There is no judgement on this. We have explained to you
already what it was about, it was not an inability specifically to cope,
it was such a fast, such a fast and vast awareness-raising, such a big
consciousness shift without an integration into the physical that you
just could not bear to be here anymore. The human condition was too
limiting, too dense, too hard, for someone whose energy, as we have told
you already, is so light. The ones of you, the ones who are like you,
who have the same kind of soul - we have described it as flighty, light,
pure, it is a beautiful energy - have the greatest amount of difficulty
settling into earth life. The ones of you who are very, very, very light
- which is also an indication of development - find the conditions of
earth life just about unbearable at different points in your
development. It has been so for you a number of times. It is the
discrepancy, or the disjunction, that we have mentioned between the
lightness of your spirit - the exceptional amount of energy you have
available to you, it is exceptional - and then the conditions of earth
life which have been, especially until now, extremely much the opposite
of what you are – dense, heavy, sad, limited, slow, all the things that
your soul is not.
So you have known very intimately the experience of ending your own life
more than once and that is why you have an automatic attraction or pull
towards that phenomenon. Not because it is something that awaits you on
your path, not at all. We are suggesting already for you to begin to
give thanks for the particular body you have chosen, which has assisted
greatly with you in allowing a slower download of your personal energy.
If it had gone as fast, as quickly as you would have liked, if you had
progressed as fast and as magnificently as you think you should have,
then you would have encountered yourself the same way you have
encountered yourself in other lives before - with such a high degree of
energy that physical existence is intolerable. And so the beautiful gift
of the body you have is to slow down the download. It is also what we
assist with greatly. We have suggested we are involved in timing. You
have said to us, you have said to us at the beginning point of this life
‘I am not leaving again, I am going to manage it, I am going to allow
myself to stay’ and so we are working with you on that, in the sense
that we are controlling the timing and your body is controlling the
slowness. Together we are making a team that allows you, perhaps for the
first time, to balance what your soul is and what it is like being a
human, which is difficult, especially for you, intolerable at moments,
extremely heavy. That is simply a result of the great difference between
who you are in your essence and what earth life affords. You are so
light, so beautiful, so free, such an essentially light spirit. It is an
enormous difficulty to experience yourself as human, it is an enormous
difficulty. The ones who experience earth life easily, those are the
ones whose spirits are a lot more set up for it. Yours is so light, so
fast, almost the fairy energy is what we can give to you as a way of
understanding the way you experience of fairies, very light, but very
powerful. That is the kind of group, or soul form, that you have so
earth life is very rough on these, very rough. It is not so much even
about the circumstances of your life, which at times, objectively, may
have been great, do you see that? It is not even that you have had
extremely difficult, poor, hard circumstances and yet you have been low.
It is not because of the circumstances that any human being wants to
leave the planet it is an energetic experience always.
Forgiveness for Suicide
And so we ask you, firstly, if you will allow yourself a measure of
understanding of why you have ended your life. If you can forgive this
action in you then you can be a tremendous assistance to ones who are in
the same position. You have available - this is one of your paths, not a
full or complete naming of a path - to you to be an enormous mover or
shifter in the area of suicide in whichever way you would like to look
at that. It is not an obligation it simply gives you the opportunity to
forgive yourself. It has been greatly understood by us why you have
wanted to end your life and why indeed you have done so many times. This
time you are not choosing that. This time we are working together
cleverly, we are working strategically, we are much wiser, we have
developed with you. So, between us and your body and a number of other
circumstances, we are assisting you to come into your energy slowly,
quietly, in a way that is not going to make earth living intolerable, do
you understand?
I do.
Thank you.
Balancing Soul Energy With Physicality
It is one of the magnificent opportunities in this life, to begin to learn how to balance the extraordinary soul energy that you have with the conditions of earth life. If you didn’t want to do that you would not have come. There is no need, no requirement, for souls to return to an earth experience. There is no-one who says ‘you have only done twenty four you need to do twenty five go back’, no. It is purely and wisely your choice. So you have come again, you have come again, with the same amount of magnificent fairy-like light energy that is beautiful to behold. That is why we have called you adventurous, the kind of energy you are on soul level is like a fairy - quick and fast and powerful and magic and light and mischievous and adventurous. It is very difficult to settle into earth life with that kind of energy and you have chosen to do it again but you have been wise, you have brought to you a body that can assist you in staying grounded, a body that is going to slow you down if you are moving ahead too fast in that way. The system is perfect so when you experience frustration at yourself at not being able to access your power immediately, at not being able to respond already like a master, when you experience that impatience give thanks for it. We understand that is a very difficult thing to do for you. We understand your desire to expand, to explore, to channel, to conduct energy beautifully. We understand it - you are so gifted in it, so gifted, it is like your second skin. For you, it’s as easy as blowing your nose while other people struggle to lift their energies off the ground, they struggle and struggle, so we understand. We understand your impatience to move forward and we also ask you to thank it, we ask you to say thank you for exactly where you are now, for the fact that you have managed, you have managed to expand your awareness to this point and you have not left yet, you have managed to carry on being physical, you have managed to stay in a body, you have managed to commit to a life and raise your awareness. Never have we seen you do this simultaneously the way you are doing it now and that is the way of the master.
The Way of the Master
So many people presume that the way of the master is to let go of the physical and run off into the spiritual. Not at all. The way of the master is integration. The way of the master is to be as firmly human as you are divine and that is what you have set up for yourself in this life: the challenge of staying, of allowing your body and your circumstances to assist you to go slowly this time, to assist you to bring in your energy, slowly, quietly in a way that allows you to be amazingly human as well as amazingly divine. That is what is available to you. It is extraordinary. We have never, ever seen, we have never, ever seen energy of the quality of yours sit itself so well in a life, in a body, in the human condition that we are seeing with you now. It is an extraordinary feat. When you experience yourself low, as you call it - we prefer ‘heavy’, it is a better energetic word - when you experience yourself heavy, low, depressed or going slowly, not managing to reach where you want to reach in your awareness, not yet able to respond powerfully, give thanks, give thanks. You are a light spirit moving into an extremely dense experience, give yourself a chance. What you have done is magnificent. That you have managed to ground yourself to this extent, create a home create a relationship, stay in your body, stay on the planet, we are in awe we are in awe. Knowing you as we do, knowing the lightness of your energy, that you have been able to stay is magnificent. Honour yourself for your humanness, honour your slowness if you can, honour your body, honour the timing of things, you are progressing beautifully.
Grounding the Light
We understand that in earth terms faster is better. We see that that is what is shown to you everywhere - faster is better. Please understand, please understand, that in the spiritual sense of it that is not true at all. As we have said to you before, there have been lives where you have downloaded your energy so fast that you have not been able to stay on the planet. In that sense faster has not been better. No, a much higher state of being for us than the state of being fast is the state of being integrated. That is the new energy available on this planet. That is the mastery. So we are thanking you for staying. We are thanking you for the beauty that we see, especially in terms of the difficulty of absorbing the kind of energy you are into the kind of energy on this planet. There is a huge discrepancy between your energy and the energy of human living at least as it is now. It is changing all the time and you are surrounded by an enormous family, by the way, you are not alone on this planet. Your soul group is all over the place, including also in your channel. There is a soul group - we have referred to it already - energies that are similar to yours, that are exceptionally light very, very, very, very bright in the amount of light that they convey. You are a big group here now. If you can assist these ones, firstly to honour their bodies, secondly to stay rather than to leave, if you can assist them you are leading your group. There is no need to choose this path, it is simply one that is available to you and we make you aware that you are part of a very large group at this time. You are not the only energy of such degree of lightness and beauty to have chosen physical expression at this time, you have brought in the numbers. You have brought in reinforcements and so spread right across the globe is your group. You will know them when you find them, you will immediately feel warmth to them, attraction to them, you will have empathy, you will understand, you will have so much to talk about. They are spread all over the world, ones that are grounding the light. That is what you are doing - grounding the light. You are not alone in this. Please use that information to bring supportive people around you who understand what you are doing and please use the information also so that you may support ones in your group that you come across, where you understand the difficulties of staying on earth, you know it.
Integration is the Goal
You are wise, you are wise beyond your years and this is also not easy
to integrate into a physical life. It’s just what we have been saying
all along, so work with your group. If you come across people that you
intuitively know are doing the same as you, stay with them, spend time
with them, open up about the challenges, acknowledge your desire to
leave. If only more of you would talk about your deep, shameful desire
to have ended your life, if only more of you would talk on that you
would find there is a much larger group than you imagined. It is not a
shameful desire at all. What is shameful about wanting to go home? What
is shameful about wanting to leave behind the heaviness and experience
yourself as free and light the way you are? Nothing at all. It is the
most understandable decision but it is not appropriate for you this
time. You have done it already and yet you come back. You come back
because integration is the goal in this phase of human living. Your
group is here to integrate. You are here to ground the light not to run
off into the light. Do you understand?
I do.
Thank you. Thank you. You are welcome to sit with us just for some time
or if questions arise you are welcome to say them.
I would like to just ask something about something and again it’s
actually about the physical body. Question about changing the body
always trying to be thinner or eat less or and never being happy with
your body that you are in or finding the next perfect exercise.
Yes.
And I have just joined an exercise thing and I just feel like I don’t
wanna do it?
The Body as Messaging System
Thank you. Can we give you the funny thing? Your body is trying to
change you. That is what is really going on here. Your body - this is
its job - is a messaging system from your soul. That is its job, please
know that. We will say that again: your body is a messaging system from
your soul. So what you are trying to do is to kill the messenger do you
see that?
I do.
So it is far more useful to look at what the body is suggesting to you
that you change, rather than trying to change the body. It is a
messaging system. If you don’t get the message from one way it’s going
to give you another kind of message. If you shut down the email, it will
phone. If you don’t answer the call, it will write a letter. If you tear
up the letter, it will send a fax and in this we are saying that if you
don’t heed its messages in one way it is going to become imbalanced in
another way to get your attention. That is its job, it never stops doing
that. Your body never stops suggesting to you the messages or the
learnings from your soul. Your soul cannot always communicate with you
about your physical life in appropriate ways so it uses the body to
indicate to you exactly how online or offline you are and it has nothing
to do, nothing to do with what the body looks like but everything to do
with what the body feels like.
The Look of The Body vs. The Feel of The Body
Let us make that distinction for you straight away. In the eyes of the
divine - let us say this once and for all and please share it - there is
no such thing as the perfect weight and it is not more useful to be thin
than to be overweight. In the eyes of the divine, there is no such
distinction made. The distinction that we make, the distinction that
your spirit is keen for you to understand, is the distinction between
when your body feels right and when it does not. The way it looks is
irrelevant. There are some people, if they were to be honest, that feel
quite right when they eat a lot, they feel right. It may be that they
are larger than the normal but if they are listening to their body,
their body is not groaning or crying or hurting or imbalanced or unable
to perform, in fact their body feels quite solid. Do you understand?
I do.
So it is far more useful for you to become aware of what your body is
saying than to be aware of what someone else is saying about your body,
including you. The message from your body is the thing to look at not
the looking at your body is the thing to look at. It is possible - we
have suggested it already - that some people will choose a sturdy, a
heavy, a larger body because they need the grounding. When you no longer
need the grounding your body will change along with it. We have
suggested already that the more you tend to escape into the esoteric,
the more you pressurize yourself to progress there, to expand to know
more, the more your body - beautiful faithful body - balances that for
you. So at this stage the heaviness of your body is completely divine.
We will even call it that. Not just appropriate - divine. If your body
were not being what it is being right now you would not have been able
to stay in your life as long as you have. You have chosen this body
above all the others you could have chosen. It is assisting you to
ground yourself. It is assisting you to integrate your spiritual energy
with your human self. It need not always look this way, it need not
always demand so much food, it is available to change your body entirely
when you move into that place and it will be so. The more you find that
you are grounding your light, the more you find you are less inclined to
eat and more inclined to move. But until that balance is there your body
is serving you greatly. Do you understand?
I do.
Your Body Knows Your Highest Path
So the first thing we would suggest - we have said it already - is to
thank it. Oh, we have an understanding of how difficult it is to say
thank you to a body you have repeatedly called wrong, repeatedly called
imperfect, repeatedly tried to change, and yet we ask you to do the
impossible, we ask you to say thank you for exactly what it is, exactly
that it is heavy, exactly that it demands a lot of food, exactly that it
is not light and athletic. These are the conditions you have needed just
to get this far in your life. The first thing we suggest is hold
ceremony with your body, begin to let it know ‘thank you’. The moment
you are at peace with it - and that happens when you are deeply grateful
automatically - it can start to whisper to you instead of to shout. When
the body is hated or ignored even, it has to shout its messages. It has
to become very imbalanced. It has to become very big, very sick and so
on, very allergic, whatever it is. When you are friendly, when you are
opening to listen, it can whisper, which is much less difficult to live
with. Whisperings from the body are easy, they are slight discomfort,
slight balancing issues, slight things to fix. Shouting from the body
can be debilitating. As we have suggested with the example of the back,
if the body needs to shout it will. So in that sense our first
suggestion is to say, thank you.
Secondly, to listen to its whispers. It is the thing that knows your
highest path better than anything else! Your body knows when you are in
a place that is the highest for you and it is going to always provide
clues to move you towards and away from different places. So we are
suggesting to you that for the moment, for the moment, there is
absolutely no need to change a single thing either about the way your
body looks or what it needs or what you feed it. You can see already
that attempting to enforce change simply makes the body talk louder. If
part of its messaging to you has been to be heavy, to ground you, no
matter what you do, it is going to carry on giving that message and it
is going to give it even louder. That is why the majority of people who
attempt to force themselves through systems or through willpower or
whatever it is to lose weight; will put it on and more. Their bodies are
shouting louder - they have not listened the first time. So in that
sense, at least for now, (and it will change and we will work with you
step by step through this as it is an enormous part of you becoming
balanced in your energy), the first thing we would suggest for now is to
let it be. Let it be and simply listen. That is all. Even, we would take
it as far as to say, give your body exactly what it wants, exactly what
it wants, at any time, as it asks. If you can get to that level of love
with your body it can start to whisper instead of to shout. Is that ok?
Yes that’s perfect.
Yes you are. Thank you.
