I believe the body is a touch-stone to connect with something deeper inside which needs attention.
We give a lot of energy to forcing ourselves, our bodies, to be what we think it SHOULD be; this
causes a lot of unnecessary stress and worry and takes away from the simple pleasure which
comes when we appreciate and acknowledged ourselves in the moment. I see the body as a portal
to understand and connect with all the various pieces that create our whole selves. The art of being
body-positive is in learning how to make it okay for you to experience being YOU. And I have found
that an honest approach is an act of body-love AND self-love.
