For your entire life, you’ve been taught to relate to your body as a problem. It’s too big, too small, too soft, too loud, too much. It’s a source of shame, a project to be managed, a battle to be won.
You have spent countless hours and immeasurable energy trying to fix it, tame it, and control it.
What if you’ve been looking through the wrong end of the telescope?
What if your body, with all its messy, inconvenient, and glorious sensations, isn’t the problem at all?
What if it’s the portal?
What if your body is the doorway to everything you’ve been seeking: the freedom, the power, the wisdom, the connection, the joy?
Our culture teaches us to live from the neck up. To privilege the intellect, the rational mind. We are taught to ignore, suppress, and override the wisdom of the body. We treat it like a dumb taxi for our very important brain.
But the body is where life is actually lived. It is the seat of your emotions, your intuition, your creativity, your power. It is the only place you can ever feel joy, or pleasure, or love.
Your mind can think about joy, but only your body can feel it.
Your food struggles, your body shame, the symptoms and cravings… you’ve been seeing them as evidence that your body is broken. But what if they are not the problem? What if they are the curriculum?
What if that craving is a messenger? What if that fatigue is a teacher? What if that anxiety is a guide, pointing you directly toward what needs your attention?
When you stop seeing your body as the problem and start relating to it as the portal, everything changes. You stop trying to fix it and start trying to listen to it. You stop trying to control it and start learning to collaborate with it.
You realize that the very things you’ve been trying to get rid of are actually the keys to your own liberation.
Your body isn’t in the way. Your body is the way.
