A lot of people seem to neglect the body in their spiritual practices and end up making themselves really sick or don't get as much as they could out of spiritual experiences. The body is the method by which you are able to interact in this plane of existence, and many spirit beings don't have bodies and so don't have the same advantages as we do. It is a tremendous blessing to have a body and be alive. Meditation, spirituality, mystical practice is not a method to get out of your body. You already can have experiences out of your body and it is very important to be grounded in this plane of existence. Use your body and take care of it. Do not punish or neglect your body. Your body is a good thing no matter what size or the details of how it works. Don't ignore your body. Being spiritual will not make your body healthy and strong by default. A lot of spiritual experiences are very unnatural for the body, so we need to make our bodies extra strong. You don't even need to be enlightened. If you're channeling a lot of spiritual energy you need your body to be strong. You don't need to be an athlete, but you do need to know your body and keep on top of these things. Your body is always right and you need to listen to it. Your body does not have the command of language that your mind does, so it communicates nonverbally. Make your body strong in whatever way works for you at whatever level you're at.
