Bodylove

Today I make a commitment
To nurture every part of me
I decided it was time
To love the body divine

I want to be free of obsession
I want to live without confession
That allows me to taste it all
To surrender and stand tall
To see that my body is delicious

Now what I love is me
My small breasts
My rounded plum
The dimple on my bum
My soft thighs
The warmth of my tummy
And the flesh so yummy

Now I can stand tall
Empowered to show it all
I’m not ashamed
I’m tired of naming blame
I don’t follow social standard
I am totally candid
I won’t allow you to dictate
I’m ending this ugly fate
With Bodylove it’s time to celebrate.

Let me guide all you Goddess gals
So we as one can enter
This beautiful space
Where your head’s in a tranquil place
Where your heart is full and complete
God you’ve got you to still meet

An alchemy for healing
A mantra for freeing
Our feminine power
Our sweet sacred flower
Bodylove is the key
To end all misery

I promise you it’s true
We can together pull through
It’s time for us to love
Our bodies
It’s time for us to know our passions
It’s time to be free
To unlock chains and dance with me
Oh woman now it’s time to live in ecstasy.

Bodylove is a new way of living
Bodylove is giving
Bodylove will bring you elation
It’s a pure sensation
To heighten every breath
Feeding all that you need
If there is only one thing that I do
It is to give this message to you
Let the channels of love open wide
So that the commercial space will subside
To make Bodylove’s miracle stride.

We are free from addiction
We can celebrate in a new tradition
Let’s honor our creation
Indulge our temptation
It’s a powerful sensation
Bodylove is here
Bodylove lives in you….

As I open and share my experiences in life I am joyfully surprised at how eager people are to expose their own truth. Our lives are interconnected and although vastly different, we are bound by many similar emotions, desires, hopes and concerns.

Over the past few months as Bodylove is gaining press and exposure, I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people who have opened up to me. Men and women alike are ready to expose their truth and the deep connections we crave in life are formed.

It’s beautiful to feel that someone trusts you enough to tell you what is REALLY up for them. I joke that perhaps it’s because I have openly exposed my personal journey from hell to bliss and how miserable I was, that people in some way feel comforted by the fact that at least their situation wasn’t as dire as mine and that makes them feel safe to confess and confide in me. Or perhaps they hope that I will understand the depth of what they are going through and offer some insight. Or maybe they just want to get it off their chest, which is always cathartic. Whatever their reason, I do feel blessed that they share with me because on some level I feel what they are feeling. I listen and I learn and provide what I can if I can. Mostly I just listen.

I truly believe that we are ONE, intertwined by divine creation, love and life’s journey. Having the sacred space to express and counsel with others is an important part of healing, growing and evolving as we are supported by compassion, the gift of time, patience and laughter.

Hi Beauties,

This is written by my talented friend numerologist Julian Michaels!!

THE SACRED NUMEROLOGY OF AUGUST 2007

Together the “8” of August and the “9” of 2007 create a “17-8” Universal Month vibration.

Be centered, courageous, live with dignity and embrace God (7+6+4 = 17/8), consciousness. Make a difference in the month of August and it’s double “8”s.

Look at the form of the “8” known as the “Divine Spheres.” The top of the “8” is mental, intuitive and spiritual. The bottom is physical and grounds you.

The “8” is the Law of “As Above, So Below.”  Take an idea you have and make it happen on the physical plane. It’s easy, as you need to believe!

The “8” stands for power, big business, banks, stocks, the health industry, government, the military complex and money. Watch the changes that will continue to happen in these mega-institutions in August.

Turn the “8” sideways and you have the “Mother’s breasts.” This is a metaphor as the “8” nurtures, encourages and is a strong foundation for others to lean on.

The “8” is the scales of justice. It represents the Law of Cause and Effect, “ As you shall sow you will reap.” Also “Judge and you shall be judged.” It’s so important to weigh your words and judge with wisdom, honesty and truth.

The “8” is the DNA code. Transcend the norm. You can restructure the patterns of all intelligence in your DNA. Create a new relationship with yourself and a new paradigm of health. Learn how you can control your divine physical machinery.

The ‘8” is the symbol of infinity. Imagine that you can go in and out of these circles of the “8.” Access whatever information you need through pictures, words and feelings that you receive in your travels with the “8.”

August is the month of prosperity. Be disciplined and know where your money is and what you’re spending it on. Be careful of putting all your faith in a stock- broker or anyone else that controls your finances.

The negative “8” is greed, avarice, and abuse of authority. Pythagoras, the father of Mathematics and Numerology, called the “8” Light and Darkness. The darkness he said represents the selfish material-minded moneymaker. The light is the spiritual- minded person that offers help and guidance to those that live in the dark.

*     *    *
Friends,

Be in your power and know how to delegate it! Love your “8.” If you have any questions please call or Email me.

Peace in your Heart and mind. Blessings and Lots of Love,

Julian

Oh my I can’t sleep I call it Bodylove insomnia! I wish I could reach out and connect with each one of you divine creatures. I am so passionate about the Bodylove mission that I often lay awake at night brain storming… how to get the exposure we need to reach you all.

I am blessed to meet so many magical people who want to help me and who see and feel how need Bodylove is. Tonight I pray for inner peace that the destiny ahead of me will bring me the courage and guidance I need to continue my work.  Trust calms my mind and with each breath I feel love flowing within me and then releasing into the world around me. Connect. Love. Play. Laughter and More Love that is what I pray. The end to our fight,  it is clear in my sight.

Blessings and Much Bodylove,
Ingyarna
Kisses…

Today, I have over whelming gratitude for the goddess gals in my life. Remarkable, talented, divine women who hold so much power and passion that it does make believe that I am truly lucky to belong to such a tribe of Goddess Gals. At the gym today I literally bumped into an old friend of mine Tanya www.loudfitness.com it has been ten years since I saw her. Ten years later and we are the same women yet so much more connected to who we are, both of us living our dreams after much soul searching, yearning and working. Next, as I rushed to dress myself, I sighed a sigh so deep that the woman next to me smiled and we both laughed. I said, “ How good is it to SLOW DOWN, to take a deep breath and take your time. It feels so blissful.” That statement opened up a chat that lasted for 30 minutes were Priscilla a 30 something film producer shared a fabulous story of healing after telling her about Bodylove. Priscilla, what a sexy name, took the challenge and has been sober now for two years and is daily creating a new life and a new reality for live. From drinking and popping copious amounts of drugs, her weight battle and family issues this woman has lost 25 pounds of baggage that no doubt was helping her to carry the pain that she was holding. Priscilla was open and giving and I felt honored to hear her story. I heard her voice, felt her pain and now her I could divine beauty and magnificence that was shining in front of me. Today, I feel so lucky to have a vocation and a mission I am so committed. The wonderful thing is each woman has a story to share and as we share we learn, grow and heal as we listen and learn from the gift of their journey’s bring us. Each week, I am going to post a new story at mybodylove.com so we can continue to learn and share from one another. Never before have I felt so blessed to be a woman so connected to the limitless beauty and love that we have to give the world. The time has come for us to own our God given strength and to finally listen to our hearts, to honor our bodies and to truly believe in the calling our intuitive voice brings us. Not questing, not doubting but believing in the magic we hold within. Each day without fail I am compelled to tell as many people as I can about the brilliant film THE SECRET. The Secret is a fabulous story about The Law Of Attraction and as result of watching this film and my years of study on healing and metaphysics I am now reminded daily about the magic of this law. I highly recommend that each of you buy The Secret available at thesecret.tv

I also have amazing girlfriends who at times have shown me great love by supporting me on my Bodylove journey. I also have some very special male mentors too so this does not disclude their amazing contribution to my work and my life but this article today is about honoring the Goddess Gals in my life. Four of the biggest supporters have been my attorney who worked pro-bono for ages, Susan Keller of eapdlaw.com who is committed to helping female entrepreneurs succeed in business, to my friend and teacher Laura Auerbach who supports me in areas that I find too tedious and tiresome this woman rocks, to my long time friend Jackie Isles who continues to listen to me patiently on all subjects and I mean all, to my girlfriend Bodylove investor, mentor and room mate Melinda who has taught me to listen to my intuition, to focus, to be grounded. Melinda has amazing way of getting to point by being direct and firm but compassionate and extremely kind. I have learnt a lot from her about her to carry myself as a business woman and yet still remain connected to who I am  – a feminine, strong yet kind, passionate and determined, ultraist idealist.

To my beloved high school friend and vision keeper Iris Ray Nunn who has taught me not to fear the magic that we within us, to appreciate and acknowledge the gifts that have been bestowed onto us, Iris is a spiritual mother, a leader, a poet and a manifestor.  From her love and her faith in my calling I have been able to embrace who I am completely – Ingrid Arna, the shaman, the visionary, the love, the healer, the performer, the poet, the creator, the film maker, the author, the entrepreneur, the mother, eventually the crone and the intuitive Goddess. I am all of this things. And you my Goddess friends are all that and more! This is my calling to you to see feel and be your divine beauty with every breath and with every experience to connect to your centre to yoru heart and to your power as you are centered and supported by the love of your community to the Bodylove Babes that believe in your who are a part of you. The more I write about Gratitude the more I have to express, to Kathleen Whitledge for her undiluted passion, her truth and her believe in magnificence, her belief in creating opportunities that have no limits, to honoring her every word, to Laura Powers, for her commitment to Bodylove and her work and trust in me and the Bodylove mission, to Kate Super my new manager who is truly talented, divine woman who without realizing is a perfect example of a woman who does business with passion, pose and power. To my mother who is truly a magical woman, she has taught me about tenacity, setting boundaries and personal responsibility. To my sister Nadine who has taught me about forgiveness, acceptance and surrender.  I love this gal and together I know we will achieve great things. We will all achieve great things. If you have a story to contribute or just a paragraph you want to share about your experiences and feelings please email me at newwisdom@mybodyove.com, Much

Bodylove,
Ingrid Arna x
