dailydatewithgod

As a life long dancer I am acutely aware of the power of movement.  As a lifetime survivor of trauma I am acutely aware of what is like to be frozen and immovable.  In the space between those two realities where we all vacillate on some level is the power of allowing God to speak through our bodies.  We are souls housed in these magnificent machines designed to communicate within us and with those around us.  Coupled with the cooperation of the mind and the vibration of energies in and around us, we have the potential to be the embodiment of love.  When we allow for the recognition of the feelings we sense in our bodies, we can utilize them as a portal to connect with the consciousness of love which has no limited body from which to move and be.  We know it when our hearts break, our guts feel queasy, we lose face, put our backs up, blow our minds, and so many more body ways of describing our being and feeling.  As I walk this road in my relationship with God, I am invited a little more each day to embody the fullness of life in the vessel I was gifted with as a baby.   My daily dates begin with a breath and through it my body and soul are nourished and more able to stay in the moment.  It is not always comfortable or even tolerable to be in the body we are in or in the moment we are in, but God is always with us even in our embodiment.  It is a miraculous gift.  I have learned little by little to step away from demonizing, blaming, and hurting my body.  Today I can choose to be grateful for its resilience, flexibility, and own its ability to be my connection to my soul and my world.
