Embodied Spirituality Quotes

“The environment is not an "other" to us. It is not a collection of things that we encounter. Rather, it is part of our being. It is the locus of our existence and identity. We cannot and do not exist apart from it. It is through empathic projection that we come to know our environment, understand how we are part of it and how it is part of us. This is the bodily mechanism by which we can participate in nature, not just as hikers or climbers or swimmers, but as part of nature itself, part of a larger, all-encompassing whole. A mindful embodied spirituality is thus an ecological spirituality. An embodied spirituality requires an aesthetic attitude to the world that is central to self-nurturance, to the nurturance of others, and to the nurturance of the world itself. Embodied spirituality requires an understanding that nature is not inanimate and less than human, but animated and more than human. It requires pleasure, joy in the bodily connection with earth and air, sea and sky, plants and animals - and the recognition that they are all more than human, more than any human beings could ever achieve. Embodied spirituality is more than spiritual experience. It is an ethical relationship to the physical world.”

“Be the tree, the tree of life is within you. Direct your awareness, deep within the Mother- Mother Earth, Pachamama. Connect your mind, heart, body and emotions. Accept your full empowerment. Activate your ability to expand, while only accepting and being truth consciousness. Amplify yourself and feel our connectedness, beneath and within the Mother- Mother Earth, Pachamama. For it is there that our roots unite. All the portals to all there is, and all there ever was- is within you. Love, wisdom and power is you and is within you. Integrate it all and accept nothing less. Know, there is always more. Feel the gratitude, be your 'I Am' Presence. Direct and integrate this into all aspects of your Beingness. Allow the tree within you to grow. Feel more harmony and peace. Fear not to release your leaves. Fear not to drop the branches and all for which weighs you down. For you are the tree. You will grow more and new leaves will appear and shape your Soul as new branches too shall grow. Allow the sun to shine through you and within you. Be the tree for the tree of life is within you.”
