Today, we’re going to focus on our magical body.

Yup, I’ve said it: the body is magical. I truly believe that we are so blessed with the bodies we’ve been given – no matter how we feel about them.

Think about all the things your body does for you on a daily bassis. Think about your hearbeat, your legs, your arms, fingers and ears. They’re all working for you – every second of every day.

And consider this: Every atom in your body is billions of years old. Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe and a major feature of your body, was produced in the big bang 13.7bn years ago. Heavier atoms such as carbon and oxygen were forged in stars between 7bn and 12bn years ago, and blasted across space when the stars exploded. Some of these explosions were so powerful that they also produced the elements heavier than iron, which stars can’t construct.¹

This means that the components of your body are truly ancient: you are stardust.

Pretty awesome and magical, right?

So, how can you tune in to the magic of your body today?

Here are a few tips:

  1. Spend some time in nature and feel your feet hit the grass, your arms hug a tree (yeah, really) or your breath hit meet air.
  1. Put your hand on your heart and just feel your heartbeat for a while.
  1. Work out. Do something you normally don’t dare to do.
  1. Do yoga – be gentle.
  1. Hug your partner or your child and feel your body touch theirs.
  1. Massage yourself and be super aware of every part of your body – from your toes to your hair.
  1. Swim and feel the weightlessness of it all.
  1. Do a mindfulness meditation with a focus on your body.
  1. Whatever idea you can come up with.

And once you’ve truly felt your body, hop on over to the FB page and/or the Instagram feed and share your aha-moments, thoughts and ideas with us.
