Dear Body
Dear Body, Today I affirm my intention to love you, to find you beautiful, powerful, attractive, and worthy to me. You have been there throughout the ups and downs of my life. You have served my needs through being born, through growing up and developing in your own way, in accordance with your inheritance, your experience and the laws of nature. You serve me even when your time here is over and we pass on.
Whenever I have rejoiced you have given me the feeling of joy. Whenever I have grieved, been anxious, sad, or intoxicated, you have borne the brunt of my moods. Whenever I have been reckless or in error, you have taken the cuts, breaks, and bruises. I have been only the witness to, and often the cause of your pleasure and pain.
Often when you have needed a rest I have pushed you. Often when you have had to fulfill your natural functions, I have ignored you and overridden your requests. When you have paid the price, I have blamed you for your illness and infirmity. I have taken you for granted so often, and resented your mortal fragility many, many, times.
Today, I will cop to my role in this dysfunctional relationship, and make it functional. I will attend to your needs, your requests, and your care, as if you were my beloved. If my circumstances require you to go beyond your accustomed limits, I will make sure to give you rest, sustenance, touch, love, and companionship.
I accept your mortality and the time constraints it places on my current incarnation.
Thus I will behave like a warrior and act as impeccably as possible to complete my purpose here on the planet in the time allotted.
Whatever the outcome, I want you to know that I love you, respect you, honor, and salute you. You have been my most constant and loyal companion, and will be so until our last breath together. Bless you my dear.

Dear Body, I love you. I thank you. I honor you.
For you have given me opportunity after opportunity to connect, play, listen, feel, smell, hear, taste, and touch this world.
I have danced, climbed mountains and made love all through you.
My list of experiences would take days. I adore you.
You are beautiful, playful, and curious. Your loyalty is unending. You have stayed with me through each breath.
You have supported me when I have been kind and caring to you and when I have been cruel.
You entice me to slow down and listen. To stop and smell the flowers. Gratitude runs through my veins.
I thank my blood, bones, organs, and skin. I thank each system. I thank each cell.
I honor you. I support you. I listen to you. I care for you.
My sweet beloved.

Dear Body…
Thank you for serving me and for being of service to spirit.
Thank you for talking to me, for being my partner in health, for the screams and the whispers.
Thank you for being my dance partner, my bliss machine, my joy ride.
Thank you for being my protector, my watch dog, my alarm system – loyal, ringing for one.
Thank you for being the perfect instrument for my exploration, my imagination, for love, truth and light.
Can you hear me, Sweet Body?
Can you feel my gratitude?
This prayer is my vow to serve YOU
…to be your partner,
your joy ride,
your protector,
your perfect playmate.

Dear Body, I used to think you were me. I didn’t realize you had a voice.
I loved you so much that I took you as myself. You wrapped me up and held me so tight, giving me a place to call home.
You made me feel so safe, so real. I intertwined in the intricacies of your systems, your cells, your veins.
I got lost in the pleasure of your senses. And I forgot. I forgot that I am light. But now I remember.
----
I take this opportunity to open a doorway of peace, integrity, gratitude and respect for the body.
Touch this vessel with your brilliant light. Give me opportunity to heal and be of service.
Angels guide me on my purpose felt path . A channel opened by love.
Offerings of love, gratitude, respect and nurturing beginning with the body overflowing to my brothers and sisters.
Show me the way so that I may leave behind those shackles of the past. Guide me to the eternal sun locked within.
I pray for your assistance. I pray for your healing. I pray to break open the body so that I may feel the purity of emotions,
the grandness and the perfection of eternal love.
