As I mentioned in the last post I made, the body is the spirit's vehicle into the world around it and is a temple surrounding our divine self. When we nurture our bodies and take care of ourselves, we feel more at peace with the universe. Our energies are balanced, and we have more space to meditate on matters other than our neglected temples.
The best way to show respect to yourself as a temple is to maintain a healthy diet, balance your diet with physical activities that you enjoy such as tending to a garden, sleep, and meditation. Meditation is a wonderful way to balance your energies and achieve clarity and calm. In fact, yoga and meditation is a good practice both to energize you for the day in the morning, and to cleanse you of the daily stress you faced before you go to sleep.
Rise in the morning, stretching, thinking about the light from the sun's rays nurturing your body and calling you to wake up. Breathe deeply and calmly. Set your goals for today and thank the Goddess and God for your waking. Greet the morning as it is a blank page that you get to turn into art. Ask the Goddess and God to help you overcome today's tasks, particularly if the to-do list seems more intimidating than usual. Then breathe your worries away. Breathe in calm, breathe out love and determination.
In the evening unwind from your day. Thank the Goddess and God for their wisdom and guidance. Acknowledge their presence and ask them to watch over your sleep, guiding your dreams and keeping the peace. Breath in deeply, filling your center with positive thoughts and restful energy, breathe out and blow the stresses and worries of the day with it, allowing them to disappear. Sleep...the Gods are awake. Be at peace.
Meditation is a good practice to get into. The more in touch you are with your center, the more at peace you will be with your thoughts. I think I shall post a grounding meditation next time I have more spare time. Less rambling thoughts hahaha.
Til next time!
