My Body Is A Temple

There are two contexts in which you are most likely to hear the above phrase. Firstly the relatively puritanical context where you have an individual that subscribes to extreme levels of exercise and obsessive levels of clean eating with the view that this is the most healthy and therefore the best approach to life. Then you may also hear it in a comical context where somebody declares their body is a temple before stuffing another mince pie in to their mouth (can you tell this was first drafted a few months ago?!).

Where that phrase is actually useful is in relation to your practice. Your body is a temple, from your sacred sacrum to your etheric crown, a temple you are always within therefore every moment is an opportunity to move towards ascension. To tune up your nervous system such that you use your spine as an aerial to receive universal consciousness. We’ve never been afraid of admitting cliched or embarrassing cultural references that got us in to this stuff. And in the case of working with the spine it was a reference in one of the Dan Brown books to an interpretation of the Jacob’s Ladder story as allegory for the manipulation of the vertebrae (the steps on the ladder) as a spiritual quest.

At the time this post was first drafted it had been a funny year, in many ways positive but strangely challenging. A number of people who work in the esoteric space were speaking of something of a stagnation in the current that normally keeps things moving forward. And a positivity that is underpinned with sadness. We waited and listened carefully for signs of change, they came as per the prophesy when the Fire Horse year began.

We wrote on socials recently that the expectation was to get all of our ducks in a row (still so many literary hangovers from our previous corporate existences :-)) and then we would ride the energy of the year like a wave. What has actually happened is truer to an equine analogy in that it is galloping away and we are struggling to hold on. Whether that is keeping up with our services or just our own creative thoughts. However the direction is positive and we are starting to get a grip on those reigns.

You are in your temple right now, let the adventure begin.
