Birthday Week Vibes: Body and Soul

On my birthday, which was March 18th, I had a massage that was phenomenal. I was stretched and the techniques she used to help my problem areas definitely helped. I am still benefiting from less tightness in those areas and it feels good! I wish I could get a massage every two weeks. But, if I can get one every other month and a half, saving up for it, that would be beneficial. I can continue to do my part with the exercise and the information she gave to help. It helps that she is also a Physical Therapist. Our bodies really do keep score on top of all of the other things we (some of us) have going with it. Yet, our bodies continue to keep working and adapting to keep us going. Thank you BODY. Thank your body.

My therapy session fell on my birthday and instead of changing it, I left it the way it was. I am glad I did because the session opened up some things for me, gave me insight, confirmation and some clarity. It also gave me some work to do. I must explore this ambiguous state I am in. It creates a feeling of floating or not feeling grounded. Uncertainty. And that creates some anxiousness or concern about my future. Who am I, now? I am not familiar with this part of me. I also recognize that my worth is not tied to by doing (as society dictates) and how much I am doing (productivity). My worth is tied to the very simple, yet mazing fact that I EXIST. I am valuable because I am a human being. Imagine if we thought this was about people who are different than we are. Imagine if we measured value by the existence of another human being, the fact God gave them breath and didn’t judge or measure their value or how valuable they are by their ethnicity, gender, culture, financial and social status. But is society and family won’t value you, you must free yourself and you must know that God, the Creator, the Divine, values you immensely and eternally, forever and always. And you, too, must value yourself and others.
