Our bodies will mirror what is happening in our minds.  When I knew only that my body was my enemy and in my mind responsible for my  suffering I treated it horribly and it lived in pain.  When I started stretching my thinking and seeing things in a new way my body become more flexible and light. I engaged in stretching my mind because I had gotten into so much pain from the restriction of my own thinking, I was willing to do anything.  There are times when I stretch my thinking and I can literally feel an opening being created in my mind.  As a dancer stretching was a regular part of the deal but I hated it because it caused me to be present and feel my body.  As I got further along in my recovery my relationship to my body began to be restored.  Not just because I was walking around in a healthier body but because I had stretched past much of my default thinking about my body.  Slowly through stretching it became in my eyes a vessel for my soul and a vehicle through which to communicate beauty and grace to the world.  Now stretching my body physically feels good and I can be with it.
