Quotes About Body

Woman has ovaries and a uterus; such are the particular conditions that lock her in her subjectivity; some even say she thinks with her hormones. Man vainly forgets that his anatomy also contains hormones and testicles. He grasps his body as a direct and normal link with the world that he believes he apprehends in all objectivity, whereas he considers woman's body an obstacle, a prison, burdened by everything that particularizes it.
~ Simone de Beauvoir
The feminine body is expected to be flesh, but discreetly so;

Les coutures, les modes sont souvent apliquées à couper les corps féminin de a transcendance: la Chinoise aux pieds bandés peut à peine marcher, les griffes vernies de la star d'Hollywood la privent de ses mains, les hauts talons, les corsets, les paniers, les vertugadins, les crinolines étaient destinés moins à accentuer la combrure du corps féminin qu'à en augmenter l'impotence.

E pesando na terra todo o meu peso imóvel. Tu morres. Outros agonizam lentamente, corpos cheios de golpes, a pele colada aos ossos.

the little girl feels that her body is escaping her, that it is no longer the clear expression of her individuality; it becomes foreign to her; and at the same moment, she is grasped by others as a thing; on the street, eyes follow her, her body is subject to comments; she would like to become invisible she is afraid of becoming flesh and afraid to show her flesh
~ Simone de Beauvoir
There is a transcendent energy whose source is from heaven that flows into us as soon as we desire it. It is the true energy; it executes actions through the mediation of our souls and our bodies. We should ask for this food. The moment we ask for it and even by the fact that we ask, we know that God wants to give it to us.
~ Simone Weil
There is a kind of orthodoxy in which the several loci of systematic theology, or stages of redemptive history, are all in place, but that lacks the life of the whole, just as arms, legs, torso, head, feet, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth may all be present—while the body as a whole lacks energy and perhaps life itself. The form of godliness is not the same as its power.
~ Sinclair B. Ferguson
If sin's reign over us is ended, then we must not—indeed cannot—go on living as though we were still its subjects. It now becomes irrational to use the body as if it were still the body in which sin reigned. Since grace now reigns; sin shall not be our master!

Vibes are energetic waves of subtle energy that arise from several places, some from inside your body and some from the world around you. All this makes up your vibes. Intuitive messages come from your heart and gut. Others come through the back of your head, on your arms, the back of your neck, even in your throat. These waves of energy reverberate throughout your entire physical being, sending you messages.

No matter how confusing your body's signals may appear, they always make sense if you just listen and learn the language. Listening to your body's vibes for guidance and feedback may seem odd at first, but keep in mind that your body is a direct conduit to your Higher Self, and it won't mislead you. Every signal it sends has direct meaning and essential information for your physical well-being, spiritual balance, and safety.

Divine Spirit within me, move me in the direction of my highest good this day. Move my mind, move my words, move my body, move my emotions, so that I am able to be my best, do my best, serve my best and experience the best.

Trusting your vibes is an awakening process in which your spirit partners with your body, your ego steps aside and learns, and together they move you directly and swiftly out of harm's way and straight into your very best life. As in any partnership, trust and confidence develop naturally over time, as you get to know one another and make successful decisions together. In other words, the more you allow your spirit to lead your body to success, the more trust will evolve on its own.

My task was to interpret these energetic transmissions to understand what they were trying to convey. Believe it or not, that was easier than it sounds because it was all so natural to me.

All I had to do was get quiet, tune in to my body, and listen.
~ Sonia Choquette
One of my major rules of life is: You should listen to your body. Your body is wise. Your body knows.
