The following is from a book called,
“The Circle of Fire.” The author, Don Miguel Ruiz also wrote the international
best seller, “The Four Agreements.” The
Circle of Fire is a book of inspiration and guided meditations for living in
love and happiness – in short, it’s a feel good book.
Today
I propose that you start a brand new relationship with your body. I propose that you treat your physical body
just as you would treat a precious loved one in your life. Stop being selfish with your physical body,
and give it whatever it needs to be healthy and happy. Can you do that?
Today
is a new day, a new beginning for you to give gratitude to our physical body
for everything it does for you. When you
learn to lover your physical body, every activity can become a ritual of
gratitude where you fully express the joy to be alive. Every time you wash your body can be a prayer
of gratitude to God. Every time you eat
can be more than a prayer; it can be a celebration of life because you are
giving food to God so that life can keep going.
Beginning today, you can change your relationship with your physical
body, and your whole life will change.
Prayer for the Physical Body
Today,
Creator, I promise to make a new agreement with my physical body. I promise to love my body unconditionally as
my body loves me. I promise to protect and take care of my body. I will never again reject my body, abuse my
body, or be ashamed of how it looks.
From now on, I will accept my physical body as it is. I will enjoy my body, and be grateful for all
the pleasures of life it gives me.
Forgive
me, Creator, for believing all the lies about my physical body. Forgive me for judging my physical body
against a false image of perfection. Forgive me for everything I haven’t liked
about my physical body.
Today,
Creator, help me to see my physical body as a living temple where you
live. Help me to respect my body, to
love and honor my body. I know that to
treat my physical body with respect, love and honor is to respect, love, and
honor your creation. Help me, Creator,
to give my physical body whatever it needs to live in perfect health, harmony,
and happiness with you. Amen.
