How to Love Your Body
The Earthworm Loves Her Body
I studied Zoology at university, partly inspired by a school biology lesson in which we dissected an earthworm and a woodlouse. I know, pretty gross! (It was for the greater good). Nature and life always fascinated me, but this sealed the deal for me. My humble earthworm (or was it the woodlouse, I forget) contained an intricate network of astonishing things including 5 hearts, 4 testes and 2 ovaries. It particularly struck me that the ovaries are on the outside of its body. Fascinated, it got me thinking about all animal life, and humans, and our even more astonishing network of amazing things that keep us alive each day.
Your Body is Amazing
What I am trying to say is, your body is amazing, just as it is. Think about all the amazing things going on at any one time to keep us well and alive. Awesome!
The media wants us to feel bad about how we look, so we will buy more clothes, cosmetics and whatever else. I hope that the compassion and loving kindness you practise is shifting you to see how remarkable your body is already, regardless of how it looks.
