The Body And The Soul
A sacrament is a visible sign of invisible grace. The body is a sacrament.
All our inner life and intimacy of soul longs to find an outer mirror. It longs for a form in which it can be seen, felt and touched. The body is the mirror where the secret world of the soul comes to expression.
The
body
is
a
sacred
threshold;
...
this
sense
of
the
body
is
wonderfully
expressed
in
an
amazing
phrase
from
the
Catholic
tradition:
'The
body
is
the
temple
of
the
Holy
Spirit'.
To
describe
the
human
body
as
the
temple
of
the
'Holy
Spirit'
recognizes
that
the
body
is
suffused
with
wild
and
vital
divinity.
This
theological
insight
shows
that
the
sensuous
is
sacred
in
the
deepest
sense.
The body is your only home in the universe. It is your house of belonging here in the world. It is a very sacred temple. To spend time in silence before the mystery of your body brings you toward wisdom and holiness.
We should avoid the false dualism that separate the soul from the body. The soul is not simply within the body, hidden somewhere within its recesses. The truth is rather the converse.
Your body is in the soul, and the soul suffuses you completely. Therefore, all around you there is a secret and beautiful soul-light.
Recognition of soul-light suggests a new art of prayer: close your eyes and relax you body. Imagine a light all around you, the light of your soul. Then with your breath, draw that light into your body and bring it with your breath through every area of your body.
... you are bringing the soul-light, the shadowed shelter that surrounds you, right into the physical earth and clay of your presence. One of the oldest meditation is to imagine the light coming into you, and then on your outward breath to imagine you are exhaling that darkness or an inner charcoal residue.
When
you
bring
cleansing,
healing
soul-light
into
your
body,
you
heal...

The
Quran
24:35
That
light
within
is
as
pure
as
the
lightening's
light.
It
is
light
that
is
great
and
red.
It
is
the
light
of
God
that
beams
jnana
(divine
wisdom).
It
is
the
light
of
chakras
above.
It
is
the
light
born
of
constant
awareness
of
the
pure
sound,
Aum.
It
is
the
light
that
is
blended
from
all
these
lights.
