Our Sacred
Body
By Susan Kramer
Our sacred body. Our body when used for the
highest purpose of the moment. Our body when used in loving and caring.
Our body when housing feelings and thoughts of healing and prayer.
Our arms join the side of our body at the
level of our physical heart. Symbolizing that it is through the practical
application of heart feelings, caring feelings, that our tenderness is
shown in the everyday world¾
with family, friends, co-workers, community.
Our sacred body. Our body viewed in its wholeness
of loving action¾
therefore Holiness.
All acts we perform, in thought, word, deed,
emanate from our body. And reaching for our sacredness is the challenge
and joy of the moment.
To help live in awareness of our sacred,
therefore joyful body:
-
1. Maintain bodily hygiene¾
clean diet, clean physical body and clothing, clean surroundings;
-
2. Hold helpful thoughts, and eliminate harmful
thoughts toward others or self¾
reading uplifting literature is helpful for inspiration;
-
3. Create a personal atmosphere of positive
attitudes which in turn produce their offspring of productive thoughts
and actions;
-
4. Seep into the inner stillness of quietness
regularly through the process of prayer: supplication, reflection, meditation,
appreciation;
-
5. Reinforce personal sacredness by acting for
the overall best resolve in each situation;
-
6. Act productively at school, work, or in community
service.
