[Tension & Renewal - XXXV]
I have come to believe there are three areas of *revival* that we don’t see because we don’t have the eyes to see them.
The first area is related to emotions and the second area is related to nature. (See previous reflections.)
The third area is caring for our bodies. The smallest act of self-care and healing of our physical bodies is also an act of spiritual renewal.
If you sit at your computer for a few hours, your neck tenses and your eyes lose focus. We all innately know that sitting and staring at a screen is not a recipe for longterm health.
If you eat three donuts and two cups of acidic coffee, despite the caffeine, you will feel sluggish in one hour. We all know that refined sugar is toxic despite it tasting good every time.
We all inherently know how to care for our bodies: movement, water, roughage. Often we forget, though, that caring for our body awakens the spirit.
