We're taught from childhood to fight our natural tendencies to honor our bodies, and as a result they become something foreign to us. This seems to become especially noticeable as we age and our bodies are no longer what they used to be. Socially we glorify youth and all that seems to go along with it, and forget to honor age and what used to be viewed as the attendant wisdom that comes from age. We resist what happens naturally within us, and that resistance creates pain and fear.

By learning to view our bodies as 1) part of a learning and growth choice in each lifetime, and 2) a real extension of the inner core of ourselves, or our souls, we can learn to better accept the changes that do occur naturally as a part of our overall evolution within each lifetime. Think of your body evolving, then, much as you do on a soul level, and you may be able to accept it more fully.

But frankly, I struggle with this as much as anyone. I think one of the easiest ways to learn to accept the body is simply to treat it with love, however that manifests for you.
