By Arielle Giordano
The deeper meaning of being in your body.
Being in your body is your gateway to the universe. When you are in your body, you have the capacity to merge with the universe—but it is completely dependent on you being in your real body. The truth is that your body is already one with the universe, and it holds within it everything in the universe.
When you are not residing in your body, you separate from the universe, and you protect yourself from what is real. The teachings we receive from our world today of “being in the now and being present” have some truth—but it is not the whole truth. This narrative is attractive for those who reside in the mental realm because it offers power, self-control and presence. However, our real power is known and recognized as love, and, when we think it’s something else, that creates the illusion of wants and needs.
Wants and needs equal self-interest, which the mind perceives as a great advantage of being in the now. The process becomes spiritually sophisticated, and this makes the mind’s illusion worse. Self-interest is not truly in the present; this state is not in the now or in the body. It is dishonest.
However, as soon as we become honest and drop into the body, self-interest dissolves and illusion disappears. We enter the universe and find the ultimate truth.
