precious cargo

we all carry precious cargo. The light of who we really are burns inside the vessel of our flesh.  So think twice before we rip ourselves a new one, or criticize our bodies, or play the shoulda woulda coulda game. Panditji says that doubt is a dangerous corrosive (not his words). Doubt can eat away at the part of you that believes in yourself, weakening your vessel, your confidence, leaving you weakened and a prime breeding ground for negativity, self-hatred, and judgement. Treat ourselves like we would treat a very special guest, one who we haven't seen for a long time. Use the best linens, eat the best food, say the best things. Compliment, appreciate, love. With a practice like this, we find ourselves overflowing with generosity, inspiring others to acknowledge their own gift of life.

Yes, the spirit is eternal. Our body is precious cargo. As is our spirit. Nuture both and shine!
