Living a holy life is simple: connect to your body. Your body carries infinite wisdom. Your body is holy. Your body is a holy temple. Your body is to be a vessel of energy, pleasure, and a vibration of love - not a body of disassociation, numbed out from medication, confused from overstimulation, and not a body of pain, ridden with disease or illness, and certainly not a body of sin. I learned today from an Ifa priest that the only true sin is not being in connection to your authentic self. What is the authentic self? The authentic self is the person who was incarnated in this life for this time and place reality for this specific reason. There is reason and order for everything. Even your birth.

The psychosomatic effect that the mind has on the body and the body has on the mind is one of life or death. Which will you choose? Thoughts that are slowly killing you? Thoughts that generate energy toward a slow, laborious death from bitterness, resentment, anger, hatred, and fear? Or thoughts that carry life force energy? What we give our attention to grows. Our thoughts can cause illness, especially autoimmune disorders - diseases that doctors have no idea how they have originated. Deeply rooted fear, worry, unresolved anger, grief, bitterness etc. will manifest as disease in the body.

OR we can choose thoughts that will plant the seeds of hope, thoughts that will move you toward a conscious being that pursues love, pleasure (not addiction), joy, bliss, and freedom.

Sometimes I wonder why humans even go through any wretched emotional process at all. In a sense, our emotions are just feelings that get in the way of us being productive machines contributing to the GDP… just kidding- but emotions take up so much of our ENERGY, and yet, no one is talking about how to control our ENERGY in the body. How do we utilize our energy? How do we heal the body with energy? How do we shift our vibration energetically to change our thought patterns so that they are thoughts that help us instead of harm us?

As I write this, my fibromyalgia is coming back. I feel the burning sensation in my wrists, arms and ankles. As a former christian, I used to believe that I must repent and ask for forgiveness for disobeying god and not following his every command. So I do have a fear that, perhaps, I have gone too far down the rabbit hole and experienced so much earthly hell and physical discomfort because I walked away from “Him.” But how silly - I can never walk away from what is Holy because we, ourselves, are Holy. To live in this body is a Holy heavenly experience. It is the mind and our belief systems that cause it to not be so. One can never be separated from God or the divine, because one is divinity, you are divine, we are divine. To be separated from God is to be separated from oneself. It is a separation of soul, body, and mind. To be in reconciliation with God is to be in reconciliation with ourselves. To do this, we must forgive ourselves, accept our past, be grateful for the present, practice living peacefully with other humans along our path, and develop the skills to fall truly, madly, deeply, in love with ourselves. The greatest act of divinity - that I am learning in this time and space reality - is to love oneself - and in loving the self, one can finally understand and learn to love others. Divinity is to nurture the body. It is to be in a Holy divine union with ourselves. Love is a union- union of mind, body, and spirit. This is harmony and harmony is a symphonic rhythm of homeostasis. Homeostasis is how humans survive.

In essence, living a Holy life is about reconnecting with your true self—learning to love yourself, your body, mind, and spirit working in harmony to bring homeostasis and inner peace to ourselves and the world.
