Hi Karen,

Tending to your posies in the Florida sunshine sounds simply marvelous. I suspect that this alone could keep you in good spirits 24/7. 🙂

I agree with you that it all starts with vibration. For me, I was inspired at the very beginning of my spiritual journey to let go of certain things that weren’t working for me – especially sugar. But it all started with that instigating energy of the Divine.

I appreciate your reminder of Abe’s work, and the ever-powerful practice of working on our vibration. What’s really cool, like you say, is that this work filters into every area of our lives, including the body.

Thank YOU for another wonderful and thought-provoking comment! 🙂

My primary spiritual practice is to be happy, and I do that by deliberately choosing good-feeling thoughts (including those of gratitude) throughout each day.

Other than that, I eat what I enjoy, sleep like a baby, and do a little yoga every day. I also slowly ride my exercise bike while I’m on my laptop (including right now). Wow, do I rack up the miles, because I’m on this wondrous contraption a lot. 🙂 I also putter around in the yard every day, tending my posies in the Florida sunshine.

I take good care of myself, and I’m ever inspired by my feller, Mark, who is in the health and fitness business. But I don’t think there’s really any action journey that can hold a candle to working on our vibration — our habits of thought. When we make that our tippy-top priority, we’ll be inspired to do alll the other things that serve our bodies well, and it will feel so doggone easy.

Thanks for another beautifully clear and thought-provoking post, Z!

Hi Natasha,

Great to “see” you here!

It sounds like you are in a real healing and cleansing phase. It sounds awesome. I’m glad that you are taking the time and the space to allow your body to heal itself.

Our body temples really are a gift. And the better care we take of them, the more they have to give us. What an incredible journey. Thank you for being a part of it with me!

Hi Sherry!

Nice to see you here. 🙂

I like your reminder about moderation. I once heard the phrase, “Moderation in all things, including moderation.” This works for me.

The body is an often-neglected part of spiritual practice. Remembering this truth has helped me immeasurably. As you say, learning to listen to your body and honoring its needs is a huge part of staying spiritually sane.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back again any time!

What a wonderful gift it was to see your blog today. Our temple! As I heal my temple I do give gratitude for the miraculous things it does everyday we are alive. I too am working on eliminating the foods that make me feel sick, i.e. sugar, flour, anything white. What I have noticed by eliminating is I do have more clarity! Knowing that these foods make me feel foggy and don’t nourish my body, I give thanks for this knowledge and taking the steps to remove them. I am healing from a left thyroid removal and really honor my body for all the work it is doing to heal right now. Not such a simple task. I take one breathe at a time, with each breathe, I feel more healing powers. I am grateful for my temple! Thank you for all that you give to our community. Thank you for all that you give to me!
