Body and Sky

Our body is very similar to the sky. There are lots of occurrences in the sky all the time, and the same is true for our body.  There are lots of changes happening in our body all the time, we may just not be sensitive enough to feel it. The universal energy flows through the sky and brings about changes that everyone can see. Sometimes, it is blue sky, sometimes it is cloudy or stormy; sometimes, we can find a rainbow in the sky.


The same with our body. There is different energy flowing through us all the time. When we take a walk in the forest, the serene and healing energy flows into our body; when we watch a thrilling moving, our body produces adrenaline and makes us tensed and excited; when we see an attractive specimen of the opposite sex, our body produces the love hormones; when we smell the fragrance of food, we feel hungry and wants to have some.


Our struggles come from our mind. We only think we can control how our body feels and want to block the energy we label as bad or inappropriate. The truth is, we cannot control how our body feels. We can only observe and accept how we feel at this moment just like we can only look at the sky and enjoy the beauty nature has brought to us. When we have this realization, we are suddenly at peace. More, we can feel life’s energy right within.
