OUR BODIES ARE SOURCES OF DIVINE CONNECTION
Society has done us a huge disservice by reducing the human body to its practical functions. Science explained bodily functions in order to make sense of something so mystical and miraculous; Society used these explanations to fulfill its agenda of power and control over the individual.
Here’s what I mean- I was taught about the excretory and reproductive organs as a child. At home and with peers, these very organs were sources of shame. So, how does a child make sense of the conflict in his/her head? How can something be both useful and ridiculous and “nasty”? Most humans deal with this conflict through childish humor.
This is also the reason a lot of children who are sexually violated, do not speak up. The shame of someone else having touched a shameful and hidden part is inexplicable and unbearable!!
How I wish I had been told about both the functional and SPIRITUAL nature of my body! That these very organs of “shame” are also powerful sources of connection with Mother Earth and Shakti. They are the centers of my emotions and security as a human being. This goes for all humans, not any particular gender.
Why do so many of us suffer from lower back pain? Why does all the intervention by modern medicine provide only temporary relief? What if, as a child, you had been told that the area between your lower spine and perineum is associated with your feeling (or not feeling) safe, secure and grounded? Then, you would know that no superficial intervention could help with the underlying issues that you have lived with!
Let us teach our children that the “hidden” parts of us are sacred and powerful! By only teaching them that “your private parts are not to be touched by anybody without your permission” , we reiterate the shame and hiddenness of these parts. These parts are only as “private” or “shameful” as our mouths. Let us teach children to value and respect the a**s, va**na, p***s and other associated organs; because these miraculous centers in our body can give us more information about who we are, than any book.
Understanding the spiritual / energetic function of these organs can enhance our empathy, compassion, kindness and intelligence in ways our modern education system CANNOT. And, isn’t that what we are looking for in our society?
The kind of society we have sought to create through misuse of power and force and money is what we have always had available to us! The power is within each one of us…let us stop blocking it.
