This is so Sheba

Earthbound

Our bodies are living, breathing expressions of our consciousness and should be treated as such.

Striking the right balance between our physical and spiritual aspects is one of the most challenging aspects of existence. We are dual beings by nature, spiritual entities bound to earth by physical bodies. In our lifetimes, we are charged with the duty of nurturing and tending both with equal devotion and love. Yet while both aspects of the self are deserving of honor and respect, there is a tendency for people who are more spiritually focused to ignore, avoid, or dismiss their bodies. Similarly, many individuals are entirely ensconced in the carnal realm and pay no attention to the needs of the soul. In both cases, an adjustment is in order. We are whole only to the degree that we embrace both sides of our beings.

If the soul is the inward manifestation of our consciousness, the body is the living, breathing expression of that consciousness. The physical self provides the home in which the spiritual self takes root and flourishes. Just as we must tend to the seed of the soul to ensure that it grows strong, so, too, must we care for the protective shell that is the body to make certain it is capable of playing its role in our development. Though there will no doubt be times in our lives when we feel more comfortable focusing on the spiritual self or the physical self, denying the fundamental importance of one or the other can lead to ill health, emotional distress, and a sense of incompleteness. Both facets of the human experience play a vital role in our well-being.

The body and the soul are the yin and yang of our current reality. They are, at this point of human evolution, irreparably bound together, and many spiritual teachers agree that the body is one of the greatest vehicles through which to access the soul. In fact, many believe that our spirit has chosen to be embodied as an essential part of our spiritual development. Consequently, it is the responsibility of each person on the planet to forge a marriage between the two, so that these disparate aspects bring out the best in each other, creating a vibrant, dynamic, and workable whole.

Cherie good morning I love your pic. ♥

Are you talking about Alpha that is the mom. Lydia is the daughter and I am upset because
she is the cause of all this mess. Henry had the hots for her so why take a kid out?

Cassady McClincy plays Lydia the Captain may be right about her after all. Hmmm…
Lydia is 16 years old in the role. Good actress but still a lot of good people got taken out
by her people. Karma is coming to that group.

i am glad you and your mom like the Club Sheba Music I do retro music. I love Cole Porter
and songs from way back in the day before my parents were born. I have SiriusXM and I
listen to Sireiosly Sintatra on the SiriusXM Station. ♥ I was so lucky to catch him on his
last tour with his son and Liza Minnelli it was a great night. ♥

Cherie you can wear heels all year in Cali. ♥

Cherie I love these. ♥

@kittengirl,

Here is to a lovely day in Cali I am praying that all is well with you. 🙂 I don’t know what
to think right now so I will wish you a wonderful day.

This is for you. ♥

@taci,

Have a great day hiking did you mention snakes in your post below. Game changer I can’t
stand them. One year I was doing something in the gardens and one came out my husband
was not home so I ran to my neighbor who took care of it. No he did not kill it just got it away
from me. Yikes! This is snake season so beware. Oh I had to chainsaw some leaves in my
backyard yesterday. We have lawn and brush pickup next week. 🙂

Taci I hope you see these on your trail. ♥
