Temple or Trailer

In both psychology and theology, the human body is often compared to a home or other building--our bodies house our souls and our sense of self.

How would you describe your body? Is it a temple or a rusted-out Airstream trailer? Is it a peaceful, welcoming place to be, or are you constantly disgusted with how it appears and/or how it functions?

No matter what your attitude or self-esteem, your body IS a temple. Through your body your spirit connects with your world. Do something today to cherish your body--eat an apple with a spirit of offering. Take a walk to dust out the metaphorical cobwebs. Wash away stress with a cup of cool water. Make a healthy choice today, and make a ritual out of it!
