I was commenting on a friend's thread about the struggle of being "overweight"... we all have some thing going on in our life that we subconsciously stress over. In my case it isn't "weight", but I am very conscious of my poor looking teeth. And sometimes it is very difficult to find PEACE in that thing.
I felt I should mention that in my life, I am not always looking for an "Answer" on how to FIX IT. And this is actually an overlooked truth in many situations. We are not always asking to "get answers" on how to fix our problems... we are looking for understanding and acceptance.
I have gained so much at a Soul level from just finding "understanding" and "acceptance" for my body, which then reduces the strain of "needing to fix" it... and in doing so, in relaxing the resistance, my body finds it's own happy balance and well being.
So it's not always a matter of "doing something about it", but how one "feels about it". And whenever I can take the weight (pun intended) of "judgment" off my energy field, my body relaxes and then can do what it naturally is designed to do.
We may not necessarily always need a "diet" change or "exercise program", but what always helps is to nurture the Soul with acceptance... and then the Soul can send a clarion call throughout the entire body and cells with a message... It's OK, you can come out and play now... and that's when everything comes back into balance.
