Heavy Body-Heavy Spirit; Light Body....

I am grateful for the gift of this body to house my spirit.
I agree not to trash or abuse my body or allow anyone else to do so, as that threatens my spiritual well-being.
It is not my right to trash this body, this wonderful gift from my Higher Power.
When my body is heavy, my spirit feels heavy. A lighter body helps lighten my spirit, and that allows me to be more at peace.

Be strong, breathe deeply, seek support, know that as you recognize the gift that your body is, get a taste for gratitude toward it, you will start to love yourself more and take better care of yourself.

Love, Betty
