It's not about loving your body..

It is not loving your body that will heal your relationship with your body.
It’s loving the voice inside that hates your body that creates actual healing.
It’s accepting that right at this moment, you may not love your Self like you think you should.
It is accepting that there is a part within that wants to control.
That thinks it can protect you from the hate, by hating first. By hating louder.
It’s about acceptance not fighting your Self about it. Not fighting that part. Not making it fight back.
It’s about letting that part be seen.
Be loved.
Without agreeing with it.
Or withholding your Self from it.
It’s about loving that part of you without reservation or condition...simply because it is there. It is you.
It’s about recognizing that the part is a part of you.
A part of the Whole.
And any violence committed against it, it violence committed against you.
It’s about taking that part in, instead of pushing it away.
Reminding it that it is home.
That it is Loved...just as it is.
It is then that the war stops.
It is then that the healing happens.
