This Week’s Quotation
“We cannot ignore the physical and be spiritual. Those who say, ‘The body doesn’t make any difference; we are only interested in the spiritual,’ and segregate the body from the spiritual, do not know what they are talking about. The body is supposed to be just as spiritual as anything else—the physical body.”
—Lloyd Arthur Meeker
Embodiment Is Not Optional
Inspirational Speaker, Spiritual Coach & Attunement Practitioner
Many people today are genuinely devoted to their spiritual life, yet unknowingly dismiss the very place where spirit is meant to live and move—the body.
We see this in modern spiritual culture all the time. Meditation becomes a way to rise above discomfort instead of meeting it. Spiritual language is used to stay “positive” while the body is exhausted, anxious, or holding unexpressed emotion. Even the desire to be loving and awake can turn into pressure to transcend our humanity rather than inhabit it.
In Attunement, the body is not something to overcome. It is not a problem to be fixed or a vehicle to be abandoned. It is the sacred instrument through which Spirit is designed to express on Earth. When the body is ignored, spiritual insight remains theoretical. It may feel inspiring, but it does not fully land.
Embodiment begins very simply. It begins with listening. Feeling your breath as it is. Noticing tension without judgment. Allowing intelligence and care to move into places that have been habitually bypassed. Fatigue, grief, and physical limitation are not signs of spiritual failure—they are invitations to bring presence and compassion into form.
As spirit is welcomed into the physical body, something profound happens. Life itself becomes the prayer—not just in meditation, but in how we stand, move, speak, relate, and serve.
That is where true spiritual maturity takes root.
What Is Attunement?
Attunement is a consciousness practice and an energy medicine practice that leads to personal spiritual regeneration.
Thank you, Sece, for recognizing how essential the physical body is in our spiritual work. In fact, without a functioning body how could I do any spiritual work at all? I would also apply this to the body of humanity. We’re not here to escape from what’s happening in that body, so that we can somehow live in an imagined inner state of personal bliss. The body of humanity is part of my body and yours.
Thanks Sece for this flash of blindingly obvious truth. How else is Spirit to express itself if not through our bodies?
One of my first conscious spiritual choices was to declare to myself that I will not criticise my body – I will observe it, make friends with it, be patient with it. That was a starting point for something stronger in my spiritual expression to occur.
Thank you for this reminder
Mega bravo. Within the last 24 hours at two meetings, I’ve shared about my really raising my attitude to my physical body temple. Love is responsibility to me, my body is not a slave to my heart and mind, and ailments, (some severe) are not annoyances. So thankful to tend my body with healthy self-love and more discipline, that I may continue to serve Life here on earth. Blessings.
So well put, Sece…. and Lloyd Meeker (Uranda). I love my body yet I need to do more to protect, sustain, and honor it … and more often than not I am not seeing it as my temple but rather an area to lose weight or avoid illness – a rather minimalist attitude toward seeing it form a high place. Of course many of us spiritual folk do little to desecrate it with drugs, alcohol, violence, STDs, and other abuse. That is a start. But it is far from chronically seeing it as a sacred temple fully surrendered to God at all times. There is more for me to do here in lifting my consciousness. Thank you for the guidance and clarity. Love, Tom
