In
physical fitness, the idea of core strengthening is very simple. By keeping
your core muscles in the abdominal area strong, it helps to keep your spine and
therefore most everything in your body in alignment.
This
is a great metaphor for soul work but with a different starting point. At your
spiritual core, you are already infinitely strong. There is no need to
“improve” or “correct” or “save” or “strengthen” even an iota of who you are at
your core. Everyone’s True Self, by nature of each person’s divine spark or
essence, is infinitely strong, totally whole and perfectly radiant. However,
humans are multi-dimensional, multi-layered beings and beyond your True Self or
core spirit you may experience yourself as having a soul (astral body),
thoughts (mental body), feelings (emotional body), and a physical body.
Although these derivative bodies are all interconnected energetically and therefore
mutually affect each other, each of these layers can be strengthened the more
you focus on or “exercise” your core. By exercising your core strength you keep
your various “bodies” in alignment with your core and this increases harmony
and well-being in all of your layers, as well as increases the continuing
growth and expansion of your embodied consciousness.
