Body Dysmorphia, Body Shaming and Body Trauma is Real – Learning to Re-Love the Body.
Our body is doing everything it can to keep us safe, to support us, to hold us and to help us… even if we do not think so.
Body shaming, learning to neglect, hate or pick at the body is oftentimes learned in the home and oftentimes comes from the mother… as you grow you then get it from your classmates, society, celebs etc.
As a young girl/boy this is really hard as you feel you are never enough because you do not look like the societal norms and start to internalize there is something wrong with you.
You start to disconnect from the body and start to create a bad relationship with food and start to try to control how people see/view you.
This creates imprints and archetypes in your identity and you now become that identity as you keep growing.
The body stores trauma, pain and memories on every level of your being and remembers everything you have ever experienced from this or past lives… even if you do not “remember” it – the body does.
If you grew up in a toxic or abusive household and were in a nonstop state of survival your body has been in fight or flight most of its life producing stress hormones and pumping your body with cortisol all your life… this too gets stored in the body.
When you start to heal the body and connect with your body everything will come to the surface and this can look like you are extremely sick, mental issues, constant state of confusion, rashes, unknown “disease”, anxiety, auto- immune issues (because your body is exhausted from being in fight or flight all it’s life) and so much more.
This is the purge.
You had to learn to ignore your body and your pain most of your life so when you finally learn to connect with your body everything will come up and it could look scary.
Everything we thought about ourselves or experienced is stored in the body from shame, betrayal, mistrust, pain, sadness, trauma, anger, disgust etc. and that will all come up as you emotionally and physically purge.
As we move through Virgo season this is a wonderful time to do a detox, cleanse the mind, body and soul and learn
learn to connect deeper into the body and Love it deeper as it is always with you no matter where you go!
Your body loves you!
You are beautiful!
You are perfect!
