We are in a new series where I respond to questions that listeners have sent me. If you want to send in a real-life situation or question and have me respond, just email me at terces@tercesengelhart.com and I will reply on an upcoming podcast. This week someone asked me “How do I learn to love and appreciate my body?”

How is your body today?

 

Are there aches, pains

Tensions, strains?

 

Does it feel lively and strong,

Happily humming along?

 

Can you sense yourself inside of it?

Can you…occupy your space?

 

Isn’t it a wonder?

This body…this home…this miracle.

 

When we take the time to pay attention 

When we slow down, breathe deep, turn in

 

We may discover infinity in here

The answers to our greatest queries 

 

The serenity we seek

All the worlds we wish to travel

 

That which we long to commune with

Pray to, listen for 

 

Resides right here, in us

As us, is us

 

Isn’t it a wonder?

This body…this home…this miracle.

 

We are the cosmos embodied

The divine taken form

 

We are ocean and mountain

Songbird and rain

 

We are sunrise and moonbeam

The thundering of hooves

 

We are flowering trees

And night-blooming jasmine

 

We are vast open spaces

And deep ancient caves

 

We are the song of the whale

The flutter of wings

 

We are all of this and more

We are truly, everything

 

Isn’t it a wonder?

This body…this home…this miracle.

 

Let us offer thanks and praises

For this blessing of blessings

 

And may we all learn to become

Home-Bodies

 

At home, at ease, in joy

Right here in our luminous bodies.

 

Shabbat Shalom,

Miriam Chaia

 

Thank you, 

Terces
