Body Image – An issue we all struggle with. Let’s get real about it.

Body image problems didn’t start here in the modern age.  It is a very old, very prominent imprint we all carry from most every life. And it affects us in ways we can’t fully imagine.  Most every culture and society had ideals of how one should or should not look with standards related to size, height, shape of the head, eye color, hair color, body shape.  And many times, individuals thinking that they fall short of these ideals, would find ways to more closely match what was expected.  Over time there have been many types of body alterations such as dieting, clothing, makeup, changing up the hair, face, nails, cosmetic enhancements, surgeries, etc. And mostly, we all understand. Fortunately, now, there is encouragement for people to accept themselves for whom they are, not how they look.  And this is a good thing.  It helps minimize the feelings of shame and feeling “less than” for those who find their body being criticized, judged and compared to the current ideal.  But this encouragement isn’t enough.

We carry shame, feelings of being less than, and beliefs that we are flawed from so many lives for so many reasons.  Learning to accept ourselves with some extra weight in this life, for example, helps but we want to actually get rid of the feelings of shame from this and prior lives.  We don’t need anything festering in our energetic fields that continues to magnetically draw in situations and conditions that manifest what we think of as our “flaws”.  So, I will give you one example of a fairly extreme past life – so that you can’t help but get the idea (easy).  And then I will do a short healing on the entire issue.  Stay tuned!
