I have spent a few times in my life submerged in bodies of water where small fish live, mostly creeks but I did once have the opportunity to PAY to dunk my feet into a tank (in Barcelona) with small fish (that I passed on) so they could nibble on them. This does actually lead to what I’m going to write about and suggest to you for the way to love your self today but bear with me for a minute while I finish telling about bodies of water.
I have been fascinated with both bodies and water (and bodies of water) for as long as I can remember, as of this writing I’m still marveling at how our human bodies are comprised more of water than anything else….this varies of course depending on which organ we’re looking at but ultimately, 60% or thereabouts of our bodies are that wonderfully wet liquid that we also need to drink to stay alive!
The other day I sat at the edge of a still creek and placed my feet in the water to let the fish around have a midday meal of my skin; and as they made their way around my calves and toes, hesitantly at first, I was reminded of the interconnectedness of all life (and also overwhelmed with the sensation of around 30 fish pecking at different parts of my heels, tops of my feet and back of my calves…it’s really like no other feeling!
This love of my self as all and act of giving my physical body to nourish other bodies is what’s present for me today to share with you – and to invite you to consider an act of love to and of your self today as you are inspired. It could be something as simple as leaving some of your hair out on the ground near growing things or by giving some of your own bodies fluids to a garden space or to a woods near to you.
Let your creativity with this process flow through the day if nothing specific is coming to you right now.
