Learning to love and fully enjoy our changing bodies ~ in the present moment
It took me most of my life to fully love my breasts. I had a breast reduction when I was 16, and then modest implants when I was 28. I’m now 35 and I finally truly love them with their uniqueness, scars, and all. I finally love them without wishing they were different in some way.
However, I realize that sometimes I don't actually allow myself to fully enjoy them because I feel they’re going to be taken away from me. Implants don't last forever for a variety of reasons, and I don't see myself replacing them. I may have children which will for sure change them. I had some breast lumps evaluated within the last year which really opened my eyes…(everything is fine, thank the universe)
I desire so deeply to embrace and love them fully just as they are, but it often gets shadowed by the fear that I shouldn't be getting attached to them because I know they will eventually change for one, or a multitude of reasons.
And I hear people talk about this same concept with their “______” all the time (insert whatever it is you’re afraid of “losing” from the natural process of living)
So this is the remedy I’m exploring:
If you’re afraid to get attached to a certain aspect of your body, I ask you to reflect on this: Can you love them for what they ARE, what they’ve BEEN, and what they will BE? Knowing you’ll experience whatever it is, in the present moment, through the lens of love, and compassion… rooted in the deep knowing that your energy is the source of your beauty?
I’m feeling the power of this, how about you? What is it about yourself that you’re afraid of losing? Let’s really explore it and get underneath the fear.
