Loving This Body - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Our bodies are perfectly and wonderfully made! By learning to love our bodies exactly as they are, instead of demanding that they become something they aren’t, we open to the experience of the here and now and can move into reverence and awe of this absolutely divine creation. The body is not separate from our spiritual life, but is an amazing and awe-inspiring manifestation of our spiritual life. We are not souls trapped in fleshy boxes which carry our consciousness from room to room, but rather fully integrated organisms who inhabit and contain dynamic, living temples. Our bodies exist in all their glorious variety so that the One can express itself in creative and beautiful ways, just like there are a variety of flowers in a field, so there is a beautiful magic in bodies of all kinds.
