Through our body and its senses we receive key information in our experience as human beings. The body is extremely valuable and we must take care of it, because its state defines the type of life experience we have. However, most of us grow up with a range of ideas, prejudices, taboos, prohibitions and misunderstood desires that damage the relationship we have with our bodies. Over time these types of conditions can translate into blocks that prevent us from experiencing the health and happiness we long for, so we are faced with the need to accept our bodies and connect with them in order to heal. These are some phrases that will inspire you in this process:
