Are you in love with your body?

Are You in Love With Your Body? A Truthful Beginning to Deep Healing

Most people don’t realize this…
but the relationship you have with your body is one of the longest, most intimate relationships you will ever experience. You live inside this vessel.
You feel through it.
You experience life through it.
And yet — for many — it becomes the first thing we judge, criticize, hide, or fight against.

If you’re dealing with pain, illness, fatigue, emotional heaviness, or old trauma trapped in the tissues…
your healing doesn’t begin with a protocol.

It begins with a relationship.

A loving one.

So today, I want to ask you a question you may have never asked yourself:

Are you in love with your body?

Not:
“Do I look good today?”
“Do these jeans fit?”
“Do I look younger than I am?”

The real question is:
Do you love your body?
Do you cherish it?
Do you honor it?
Do you treat it as a sacred companion rather than an enemy to battle?

Because here’s the truth:
Healing can’t fully happen in a body you resent.

The Mirror Practice That Changes Everything

If you want to begin healing from the inside out — physically, emotionally, spiritually —

here is the most powerful first step:

Stand naked in front of a full-length mirror.
Look at your body without flinching.
Without judging.
Without turning away.

Just look.

Your scars.
Your stretch marks.
Your softness.
Your bones.
Your hair.
Your skin.
Your shape.
Your lines.
Your quirks.
Your stories.

Every piece of your body is a chapter of your life.

Ask yourself:

Where did this scar come from? What did I go through?

What did this moment teach me?

What part of me was strengthened because of this?

What message is my body sending me through this discomfort?

When you do this, you’re not just observing your body —
you’re reintegrating parts of your life you may have forgotten or judged.

You are giving those moments permission to heal.

Your Body Has Never Stopped Protecting You

Take a deeper look:

Your pelvis

Maybe it birthed a child.
Maybe it didn’t — and your path of motherhood expresses itself in different, beautiful ways through the people you nurture.

Your eyes

What have they witnessed?
Where have they guided you?
If you have vision challenges, what energetic pattern might be showing up?
(I always joke that my nearsightedness has taught me to stop worrying about what’s far away and return my focus to the present moment — and honestly, that lesson was needed.)

Your ears

What have they heard?
Is there something you’re tired of hearing?
Or maybe something you’ve been avoiding?
Sometimes hearing loss isn’t a flaw — it’s a redirect to listen inward.

Your skin, your stomach, your legs, your breasts, your hair

What stories do they hold?
What have they carried?
What have they survived?

Your body is not random.
It is a messenger.

And when you stop fighting it…
it finally feels safe enough to heal.

Love the Places You’ve Judged the Most

One of the deepest wounds we carry is the war we wage with our own reflection.

The belly we suck in.
The thighs we hide.
The stretch marks we call “ugly.”
The breasts we criticize.
The wrinkles we fight.
The crooked toe.
The crooked nose.
The pieces we think we should “fix.”

But here’s the truth:

You cannot heal a body you hate.
You can only heal a body you love.

When you soften toward yourself…
your fascia shifts.
Your nervous system quiets.
Your cells respond.
Your energy opens.
Your symptoms loosen their grip.

Your body has been waiting for your love — not your perfection.

The Power of Being Seen and Loved

I’ll share something personal.

One thing I’m blessed with is a husband who hugs me and says,
“I love your body.”

And yes — those words matter.
Because when they’re true, they land in the deepest places of your soul.

If you have someone like that in your life, tell them.
If you are that person for someone else, speak it.
You never know how healing that one sentence might be.

And just as important:

Never negatively comment on someone else’s body.
It’s not yours to judge.
It’s not yours to fix.
It’s not yours to criticize.

We’re all carrying stories in these bodies.
Compassion goes a long way.

The Invitation — Start Here

So here’s your challenge — and your healing doorway:

Tonight or tomorrow morning,

stand in front of a mirror completely naked and just… be with yourself.

No hiding.
No comparing.
No criticizing.

Just love.
Just presence.
Just gratitude.

Thank your body for:

Carrying you

Protecting you

Surviving for you

Learning with you

Evolving with you

And showing up every single day even when you didn’t appreciate it

This practice isn’t superficial.
It isn’t silly.
It isn’t vanity.

It is the foundation of deep, embodied healing.

The moment you choose to love your body — truly love it — you open the door to every other transformation you’ve been craving.

And you deserve that.
