A guiding principle is to always pay attention to what is going on inside yourself, inside your heart, and inside your body. Though you may think that your heart and body are silent, this is not the case. They speak to you all the time in different and various ways that you can learn. Once you get used to how they speak to you it will be smooth sailing ahead, unless you forget this most important principle of guidance—that it is all within you.

Care of the spirit is just as important as care of the body. When one is in good shape the other is usually in good shape too, but too often thoughts interfere and interrupt the natural flow of energy and communication between the two. With body and spirit in synch there is no glitch too wide, no disturbance too big that communication fails. Allow the natural bridge between the two to be as small as possible so that one always knows what the other is doing and so that health and vitality, flexibility and good peace prevail.

Concern for the body is a natural issue but concern for the spirit is often forgotten, neglected, or simply an unacknowledged factor. The body, being so apparent, gets top billing. The rest of who you are needs attention too. Don’t forget that you are so much more than just a physical body, that there are more parts to you than meet the eye. Be in awe, every day, at how so perfectly aligned your spirit is with your body, so much so that you don’t even notice it, how subtly it figures into your daily life. Give it some thought more often. What does it need today? What does it want to do? How does it speak to you?

It’s often hard to decipher meaning for the mundane, the everyday occurrences that spark little interest and hardly seem to be spiritual in nature. But keep in mind that you are a spiritual being inhabiting a physical body and so everything is of a spiritual nature; even the most mundane task is spiritual in nature because your spiritual self is partaking in it. The question arises, who is having the experience? Can you tell within yourself that it is your spirit that sees through your eyes, that hears through your ears, that speaks through your mouth? If you shift your knowing of yourself to this spirit being that you are, does not life begin to take on greater meaning, even in the most mundane moments?

Pay attention to what your physical body tells you about your habits, decisions and choices. Is it telling you that you are overdoing something, or that you are not taking care of yourself? Your body is your place of residence for your spirit and your completeness for this lifetime. It houses your wholeness, that which you once were and all that you presently are. Honor it, and with gratitude prepare it well for each day so that it is well balanced, satisfied, and kept in good condition. Your creativity requires a physical body that is in good shape in order to blossom. Your spirit respects a body that is flowing and unrestricted by judgments and criticism, while at the same time is held to certain standards so that it functions beautifully. Take time to consider what it really means to be in good shape. It might surprise you to learn what that really means. Be honest, but don’t be so hard on yourself. Go with the flow.
