This is a short excerpt from a YouTube talk by Dr. Tabatha Barber arguing that loving your body is essential to healing and personal growth. She frames healing as restoring balance among body, mind, and spirit (the ‘Trinity’), which strengthens faith and connection to others, the earth, and the Creator.
So this is really important because I always say you cannot heal a body you hate. You have to shift your mindset. You have to love your body where it is at, just like Jesus teaches us. And then you can shift, then you can grow, then you can heal. Because getting our Trinity back into balance and harmony, our body, mind and spirit, just, that is where you strengthen your faith. You feel more connected to other human beings, to the earth, to your Creator. And that is where your best life lives. That is where your best self lives in that promise of the healthy, complete Holy Trinity.
