Hide and Seek With Your Body

You've been playing hide and seek with your body. I get it! I've been there before and at times still find myself there. What do I love to do when I don't see the remarkable beauty of my body? I'm a girl that likes to make things fun especially with challenges so I take off all my clothes, look in the mirror and watch myself dancing to some really great tunes. That just does it for me. I'm back falling deep in love with my glorious body and all the fun I can have with her in my life. This might get some of you a bit upset. I know, I was there before too. I was angry. I was in a state of completely out of touch with the beauty of my body and once puberty hit I was hiding her with a huge sweater in the mist of summer.

This relationship with my body, and with myself lead to emotional eating. But then I started learning how to appreciate beauty in all things in life. I was tired of hiding myself and wanted to live as a woman in this world with the highest joy-filled power. I knew I could choose to become riveting, sexy, intoxicating, legendary, just by changing my habits. It is just a habit. And, it's just a habit for you too. It's worth every scary adventurous step to create a life with your idea of beauty would have little restraint. The women's body, your body, is remarkable. You can create a love affair with yourself, and build the confidence to create a life you always wanted.

Your body is your home. The women's body is remarkable to me. Its beauty is always changing and expanding towards creating more in life. We hit puberty and our hormones create our curvaceous hips, breasts, and connect us more to our deep intuitive knowledge of being a women. Our body expands to create a new human life, which we nurture and love with our whole heart and body. For many of you and your excited to take a deeper plunge into loving your body. For others, this might sound fantastic (with a mixture of fear) but far away from anything that you care to learn more about or infuse into your life. This is perfect! However you feel at this moment is perfect and I want you to take a moment to write down how the feelings you have are ideal for this moment. Your experience is only at this moment.

There could be many reasons we push away from accepting the beauty of our body so I'm going to touch on one. An element of fearing our body is we fear our individual expression. The theory the mass media holds on what woman should look and act like doesn't bring pleasure and authentic self-acceptance. I'm going to suggest that we as a collective group of fun women step outside of this box and create our own mass media, called Love Your Radiance (website coming soon!). Allow yourself to express your authentic self with all the beauty you own.

What is your uniqueness? Celebrate it daily! Every morning I wake up dancing with my curves, giving thanks to the divine feminine and taking pleasure with everything I eat. My body is created for pleasure and expression, not hatred or shame. Believe in the love within yourself.

I want to hear: How are you riveting? How you celebrate yourself?
