Key takeaway: Treat your body as the living temple it truly is. Speak to it with kindness, nourish it with care, and move through your day as if every action is a sacred offering. This is how you remember who you really are.
A quick update: There’s a new Wellness Resources section on the site. It offers Ayurvedic insights on the doshas, gunas, and diet, along with nourishing recipes like kitchari, ghee, and golden milk to support your well-being.
What if your body is the sacred temple?
In the last podcast episode, I explored a radical yet ancient truth: Your body is the holiest temple you’ll ever enter. Listen to the episode on Apple, Spotify, or the Website.
Let’s unpack it together.
This truth is a cosmic reality: The Divine lives in you, as you.
And if that’s true, then why do so many of us speak to ourselves in ways we’d never dream of speaking to a deity?
Imagine the awe you feel walking barefoot into a centuries old shrine, soft light flickering, the scent of incense in the air, an atmosphere soaked in stillness and devotion.
Now imagine that shrine is your body.
Would you pollute that space with criticism, guilt, shame, hatred, condemnation or even with toxic food?
Probably not.
Yet this often becomes our unconscious daily habit, forgetting that our skin, bones, breath, and heartbeat are not obstacles to our divinity. They are its very expression.
The ancient Shri Yantra, a sacred map of the cosmos, can be found not only in temples or mandalas. It’s encoded in every cell of your being. That means you, exactly as you are, are a living pattern of divine geometry.
Forgetfulness is part of the play. We are meant to forget so we can rediscover the truth.
It is in remembering that healing begins.
You already embody the altar, the offering, and the divine itself. Nothing about you needs to be fixed in order to be worthy of love, reverence, or devotion.
WEEKLY MICRO PRACTICE
- Mirror blessing – Every time you look in the mirror, pause. Make eye contact with yourself and say, “I honor you, I Love you.” Make it a habit, not a rarity.
- Silent temple walk – Take a five-minute walk with total presence. No phone. Just your feet meeting the earth and the breath in sync with each step.
- Sacred pause before eating – Take three full breaths before each meal. Close your eyes and offer silent gratitude or speak it out loud, not just for the food, but for the body that receives it.
