Frequently, when we think about our physical body we have mixed feelings, guilt, dissatisfaction with our appearance and many other things, but from a spiritual point of view, the body is a valuable vehicle that we must take care of, a vortex of life to celebrate, a portal that provides us with an opportunity to awaken to a higher consciousness, that is, the possibility of developing our potential in this world. Below we share some phrases and reflections that reveal the relationships between the body, mind, senses and soul:

6. “You are not your job, your triumphs, your possessions, your home, your family, your anything. You are a creation of Source, clothed in a physical human body, for the purpose of experiencing and enjoying life on Earth” (Wayne Dyer).
