My dream at age 36... I was looking into a pond of water, sitting next to Jesus and seeing a reflection..."She's beautiful!" I said.  "Look again," Jesus replied. Suddenly I realized that it was I reflected in the pond, and I was beautiful.  That was the "crossing of a threshold", the beginning of accepting my whole self as a whole and Holy woman... body, mind and soul, rather then ignoring my body and pretending it wasn't there.  The familiar "fat and ugly" demons were replaced by the image of allowing my body a seat at the table, along with voice and vote.  Instead of ignoring aches and pains, I attended  to them, asking what my body needed and attempting to respond.  My journey towards integration was aided tremendously by the Enneagram  (www.enneagramdiscovery.com) and by therapeutic yoga taught by Laura Cooper and Paige Robinson (www.therapeuticassociates.com). We are each whole and Holy beings, invited by God across a threshold to accept our self worth, beauty and holiness!  It's not about perfection but about accepting and giving thanks for who and what we are!
