Today’s Miracle Moment is about loving your body now, not later…
Your body is truly a miracle! Do you feel that?
Or do you find yourself judging your body and thinking it needs to change before you love it?
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel healthy and energized. In fact, that’s a wonderful thing! But because of the messaging in our culture, we can spend our whole lives thinking that our bodies need to change. We believe our bodies aren’t good enough as they are, or that one part is too big or another is too small.
As a result, we can miss out on many of the incredible gifts that our bodies offer us.
Our subtle bodies have incredible energy centers that have the power to calm our minds in a way that our minds can’t do alone.
These energy centers filter all of the impulses that are coming from the universe to you. Dreams and desires can rise up through your heart, through your manifesting ability, and into your conscious awareness. They allow us to elevate our consciousness and connect with our true spiritual nature.
Here’s a practice to do when you find yourself in a state of judgment about your body:
- Drop down from your head and start taking deep breaths in your belly.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together and drop them down. This will help you to anchor yourself right in the center of your body around your heart space. This also stabilizes the mind and allows it to pay attention to what’s happening inside the body.
- Take deep, slow belly breaths low in the abdomen below the navel.
- Slowly count to 10 and inhale.
- Then count to 12 or 14 and exhale even more slowly.
This breathing process allows for so much transformation to happen. Your nervous system can start to anchor itself and pay attention to what’s happening in the body. When our awareness is on what’s happening in the body, we can stay out of our heads, the place where judgments originate.
We then become present with life instead of making judgements about how things could be better or different, or should be better or different than they actually are.
You are beautiful and perfect as you are.
Simply by getting back into the body, you can start to experience the amazingness of what your body truly is.
“And I said to my body softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath and replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.’”– Nayyirah Waheed
I appreciate it’s resilience. I am stronger than I think.
I would like to disagree with one of the speakers who says “I love how simple a body is…” Body is not that simple despite it might seem so from the outside.
However, I can agree with the statement that we should love our bodies now, not later. Now while we are young and strong and full of energy. Not later when it is all wrinkled, week, aching and deteriorating progressively after some certain age.
With regards to the technique of breathing adviced, let me be slightly sceptic, it will not make a difference to people who are dissatisfied with their bodies and their whole lifestyle. You have to be extremely successful at everything in this life to love everything you do, believe into, take care of, including your body. If at least one fragment of your life is not successful, all the awareness of your uniqueness is ruined! And none breathing technique will make a miracle in you.
To conclude, how can one be miraculous in a poisoned world? (it is only a rhetoric question)
Thanks.
Kind regards
Mila, I am 69 years old and have been in the martial arts 17 years. I go to the gym almost every day and worked full time for many, many years. I have been doing a powerful breathing technique and meditation every day for the past 10 years. I absolutely feel better, move better and I am more alive than when I was in my 20’s. Breathing alone expands the body and mind and brings in more energy which also connects you more to the Universe and it’s intelligence and knowledge. Anyone can be miraculous in a poisoned world if you do not focus so much on the poisoned world like those in charge want you to so you are brought down absolutely like you are. Anyone like you who has not even tried for many months at least will also fail at everything. Being a martial artist for so long it is all about perserverence and consistency in practice.
Mila, there seems to be a misunderstanding. No-one said the body is simple, the technique is simple.
Also loving your body has nothing to do with age and not really with what it looks like. It will always to some extent radiate what you feel. A body that by some beauty standards may not appear perfect may radiate love to the outside world and be totally attractive.
I assume that you are not in the Year of Miracles – if you were, you would know that it is your choice to be influenced by what and who.
May love and miracles guid you along.
Christa
I can move despite fibromyalgia
I love my body!💕
I love my body very much that’s why Im6 taking care of it. One thing I never did, is to speak to it. I think I’m starting tonight.
I appreciate my resilience, bravery, my word counts, my magnetic field, my body, my life,
I don’t have a perfect body but I have a body that, although it is not without its aches and pains, allows me to do the things I want and need to do. Recently (2 mos ago) I have started telling my body how amazing it is and that I am grateful that it allows me to go where I want to go and do what I need to do.
I am grateful to have this Amazing body.
thank you for this message and for the healing work that you do. I, too, do this kind of work in a much smaller circle and would love to expand.
Sending you much love, Roberta <3

Thank you! This is an idea that has been on my mind a lot, lately, so I really appreciate this confirmation. It helps to realize how much it can impact everything else in our world, and I am very grateful for the breathing exercise, too. Much love to the two of you!
This is so beautiful, a true miracle message . ❤️
This Miracle Moment is such a lovely reminder to love our bodies and be kind to ourselves. Thank you!
I have lived a charmed life all my life, being blessed with perfect health a new illness. Thank you God thank you inner child. I will never leave you, I’m the one you were born with you’re the one I was born with you’re the one I eat with you’re the one I sleep with and you’re the one that I will die with a cross over into the next room. Thanks be to God amen
I am grateful for my good health and mental state of mind.
I am 70 and spent most of my adult life teaching dance and fitness. As a young girl, I felt short and chubby and too busty and not tall enough, thin enough, pretty enough. Luckily my mother always told me I was beautiful and could do whatever I wanted to do. I also had some health issues and my father, a doctor, never allowed these things to affect my life or abilities. Today, as a senior citizen I appreciate and LOVE my body and who I am as a person. Because I spent my life trying to love myself and my body people always thought that I did so and made me feel that I was perfect as I was, but I never truly felt so until a few years ago. Today, I know that my aching body is anything but perfect, but I also know I own those aches and pains. I know that my body still attracts men to me – maybe more so now because I feel comfortable within my inperfections. People admire me and think me not years younger than my age, but decades so. I not only feel attractive and desireable, but accepting of myself. What a free feeling this is. My tummy and less than perfect short legs have served me well. As a dancer and a choreographer I am with young girls who hate their bodies and I spend a lot of time helping them learn to love the house that they live within. I tell them that it is not how tall or thin or whatever that makes them the dancer that they are, but the passion and work that they put into their art. I stopped wishing that I was long-legged and built like the prima ballerinas around me, long ago. And when I accepted the body that housed my talent, I flourished.
I Love how well you express this. We each have unique bodies as well as minds etc. Whatever our shape we can express things with our body that no one else can. I am grateful for our differences. Sameness like “perfection” would be boring.
I am also 70 yrs and still have the same size and body weight of when I was 18. My health and fitness are excellent and I do yoga + stretching daily. I have tons of energy for biking, hiking and kayaking. I feel that the key to this has been moving the body and not sitting for long periods. I have two sisters, both of the same body type. The 75 yr old was a grade school teacher her whole career and has done yoga for 25 years, and is now similar to my weight and size. My 72 yr old other sister had a desk job and didn’t move much; she’s not in good shape and is overweight with a large stomach. She has many minor health problems. She now admits that she “probably should’ve taken up yoga”. The lesson??!
In a few days I will turn 74. It is NEVER too late to start loving one’s body. After all these years of not loving my body no matter how many people told me my body was “great”, even when working as a model, the imperfections were all I could see. Thank you for helping me to get to know and love my body … at long last. At this juncture it’s time we became friends.
I love my hair. Before the lockdown, people would routinely approach me on the street and ask if it was real and if it is could they touch it. I have donated it several times to organizations who provide hair for cancer patients in chemo or who need hair for other reasons and I’m growing it out so I can donate it again. and on this Halloween, I will be cancer free for five years.
I love my body because it has been with me longer than anybody or anything else. And it has never failed me.
It has shown me areas where I had to step back a moment to let it heal or get assistance to let it heal and it has always healed, sometimes in miraculous ways just by me leaving it alone to find a solution.
I love my body because it has the ability to renew itself and rejuvenate beyond my thoughts. I thank it every day for being there for me and with me.
Thank you! That was exactly what I needed to hear this morning! I woke up feeling all out of sorts with my body. This helped so much!
Love this message, that is what I needed this morning. Merci! xxxooo
