The second day of the My Wonderful Body Series
Posted on Thursday, February 16th, 2012 at 12:07 pm.
Hi there –
We just finished the second morning conversation in the My Wonderful Body Series and I wanted to share with you some of the quotes that really hit home today:
—-
Your body is always in perfect and exquisite alignment with you, who you are, and who you are becoming.
—-
It’s never upset with you. It never wonders why you’re doing this and not doing that.
—-
There’s nothing missing from your body. You’re not broken. You’re not doing anything wrong.
—-
There may be aspects of your physical experience that you don’t like, but we invite you to begin today with the possibility that indeed you are in the right place, in the right time, in the right way, with the right body.
—-
At first this thought might be very disturbing and we understand that. But all that we invite you to do is to just consider, for today, that you are in the right place, in the right way, in the right body and see what thoughts arise as a result.
—-
Listen to the entire morning conversation.
We have 19 more days of these delicious conversations, not to mention the 3 Q&A workshops, and I do hope you will be able to join us (even if just to listen to the recordings which are available daily).
It’s still the perfect time to register for this pay-what-you-want (even if that’s zero) event.
With much love and appreciation!
Frank

Hi there – Here are some quotes from today’s first conversation in the My Wonderful Body Series: … To start off these conversations we want to start at the very beginning. And the beginning of the story of your very wonderful body is the fact, the very plain fact, that it is your powerful and amazing and delicious creation. … You have a body but you are not your body. It is your magnificent creation but it does not contain you nor does it keep you back nor does it limit you in any way. … Today is a day to think about how you are not your body but you have a body and to see if you can notice that what you see in the mirror is not you but is something you have. … Wow! We’re off to a great start! And, you can hear the entire conversation here. We have 20 more days of these delicious conversations, not to mention the 3 Q&A workshops, and I do hope you will be able to join us (even if just to listen to the recordings which are available daily). It’s still the perfect time to register for this pay-what-you-want (even if that’s zero) event. With much love and appreciation! This entry was written on Wednesday, February 15th, 2012 at 5:15 pm.

Hi there – Just wanted to send you a quick reminder that the My Wonderful Body morning conversation series starts on Wednesday, February 15th at 10 am EST and runs daily through March 6th. I’m really looking forward to this particular series because I’m noticing a much desired change in how I think about my body coming up in ways that I haven’t experienced before. I want to share with you a quote from the Weight: What Is It Good For? workshop that we had back in December of 2010. This pretty much says it all for me and I hope you’ll find some of the same relief that I do in it: Pay attention to your body as that creation of yours that unconditionally loves you. Since it unconditionally loves you it’s not going to be sitting there reprimanding you or be upset with you. I just can’t begin to describe what it feels like to read that (and hear it in the workshop recording). It’s like a breath of fresh air. It’s like getting a reprieve from a long-awaited punishment. What it really is, I suppose, is a truce, a cease-fire, and a reconciliation all rolled up into one after a long battle. However you want to think about, it simply feels better. So, I’m very much looking forward to walking through many delicious conversations with Paul as they expand further and further on this topic and help us connect with our very wonderful, amazing, powerful, and delicious creation: the body! Ooh — when you register for the My Wonderful Body series, you can also get a 25% discount off the recordings from the Weight workshop, plus several other goodies. By the by… Here is a much longer quote from the Weight: What Is It Good For? workshop that I think you might enjoy: —– The parts of the weight that you don’t want have actually been serving a purpose. For many of you, but not for everyone, your weight is your way of protecting yourself from other people or from circumstances or situation most of which are long gone. But in other cases your weight is there to serve you as a reminder that there is something substantial that you have control over in your life. The first step is to realize, “this is my creation and I don’t like it. But it has served a purpose for me. It has done exactly what I asked it to do” — whatever that was. Your weight is a way or rebelling against an authority that you don’t want to listen to in the first place. It’s as though you want to see them coming before they even get there. By that we mean when you’re walking around in the world and you brush up against a concept, that with each of these concepts, no matter where they’re coming from, what the topic is, that you’re aware of deciding in the moment: “Do I want to line up with this or not?” “And if I don’t then I’ll just go on my merry way.” “And if I do, I’ll sit and take it in and blend with it and find a way to integrate with it.” What we’re suggesting you want is to decide at the beginning when you’re encountering something that, from your perspective is: “Do I want to experience this? Blend with this? More of this or not?” Culturalization has said to you, and this goes back far into the past, what’s smart, what’s prudent is to take something and look at it from every angle, to examine it. And we love your curiosity but this is where things turn into a direction where you don’t really want them to go because when you realize, “oh, looking at it doesn’t mean I have to believe it, I can keep it a little further away from me energetically and look at it.” And then decide: “Does this feel better to me or not? And if it does feel better than I’ll go deeper and I’ll explore more,” and that sort of thing. For right now because it’s a very big habit for you. What you are doing is you are saying: “well there’s this new thing let me take it in and sort it out inside of me.” Not everyone has that issue but many people who are dealing with the topic that we are discussing right now, that weight has a way of showing up when you don’t know how to manage that internal examination within yourself and you just keep gathering more and more things that you don’t want. And in way that a little piece of wood slips itself into your finger the body then tends to build protective cells around that idea so as to protect you from something that you don’t really want. Question: Which is the analyzing? It’s taking on the idea itself. You take on an idea that you don’t really like but you see it’s logic because you do have that ability to perceive keenly… Question: For example – not eating in the evening… You see the logic of that first, but you also know there’s something even bigger going on, which is your body, can handle pretty much anything that’s being thrown at it. And it will handle it in exactly the way that you expect it to handle it. Pay attention to your body as that creation of yours that unconditionally loves you. Since it unconditionally loves you it’s not going to be sitting there reprimanding you or be upset with you. ~ Excerpted from the December 2010 Weight: What Is It Good For? workshop —- This entry was written on Tuesday, February 14th, 2012 at 1:58 am. Posted on Sunday, February 12th, 2012 at 3:43 am. Hi there – It feels like there is a profound momentum in the direction of this next morning series. When the topic first came up, I wasn’t really sure about it. I couldn’t quite figure out how we could spend 21 days in conversation about the body, no matter how wonderful it is… Then I read this from Paul: It may be that for some time you’ve seen your body as being something that is broken, or ailing, or not quite what you want it to be. In this series of conversations, we will be going with you through a journey of exploring the wonder and joy of this amazing creation of yours: your physical body. Your body is indeed wondrous and by bringing your attention to how it serves you, how it works for you, what it brings you, and why you created it, you will find more and more relief and greater awareness of the perfection of your body and how much better it is getting all the time. No matter where you are on your physical journey right now… No matter what you have experienced in the past… No matter how old or how young you are… No matter how much you like your body… There is always this moment, right now, where you can find the wondrousness of your body and where you can find relief from the past and continue allowing more and more wellbeing into your experience. It’s never too late to feel better… It’s never too late to improve your awareness of your magnificent creation… It’s never too late to find the vibration of wellbeing and amplify it… We invite you to join us on this delightful journey. We know it will be simply amazing as you discover the truth of your wonderful body! Wow! OK — let’s rock and roll this next morning series! P.S. This is a pay-what-you-want event… This entry was written on Sunday, February 12th, 2012 at 3:43 am. Posted on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 at 12:36 am. Just a quick reminder about Help Now! Living A Delicious Life Workshop starting on Wednesday night at 8 pm EST: http://communionoflight.com/workshops/help-now-workshop-registration/ Hope you can join us for what I know is going to be a very practical and grounded workshop experience.
