Your Spiritual Bra!

Yesterday I went to Victoria’s Secret for a bra fitting because honestly I’ve been wearing my daughter’s hand-me-downs for months now. I’ve known for quite some time that I need new undergarments, but it wasn’t high on my list of priorities. In fact, yesterday I went in only because an appointment got rescheduled and I found myself with an unexpected couple of hours at the mall.

So I went in, asked for help, got measured, and set up in the dressing room with 20 bras to try on. I went through the first couple that were okay. And then…I put on the Very Sexy Secret Embrace Push Up Bra and oh my heaven! I was transformed in a younger, perkier woman! Could this be me? Could those be my breasts?

Yes! It is me and those are my breasts. This is what I look like with adequate support. With this bra on I stood taller, smiled bigger (is that even possible?!), and embraced my femininity. I floated through that store like the models you see in their commercials with big, beautiful wings.

And then it hit me: having a deep spiritual connection is the same as wearing an amazing bra! I mean, think about it. A good bra supports, protects, and encourages you to shine in your beautiful self. You don’t need to go on a diet, lose 10 pounds, or change who you are to look and feel good right now.

This is exactly what is happening to me as I deepen my relationship with Life (aka God, Spirit, the Universe, etc). And here’s what I really want you to know: my relationship with God comes through the quiet depths of my heart, mind, and body. To me, spirituality is the place where all aspects of my being intersect. It is the absolute center. And as I process life, delve deeper into my heart, mind, and body, and discover my purpose I become closer to God.

Let’s just say that now my physical and spiritual bras are an awesome reflection of one another! I encourage you to think about your own spiritual bra…

It should make you:

• feel beautiful,
• stand tall, and
• embrace yourself exactly how you are.

It should:

• lift you up,
• protect you (even from yourself), and
• add joy to your life.

If it doesn’t, then maybe it’s time to trade in the hand-me-downs and get a new spiritual undergarment.

If you don’t have any spiritual undergarments on at all, then maybe it’s time to make it a priority and invest in some.

This topic is near and dear to my heart. I invite you to leave your comments, email me your insightful feedback, and even to schedule a complimentary coaching session.

Here’s to all of us beautiful women sporting amazing bras, both physically and spiritually!
