You are also a living shrine - to consciousness, empathy, and flow. You should tend to yourself as a shrine and support your balance and agility with activities that bring all parts of you into play. Make time for art and music, feeling and thinking, relaxing and daydreaming, reading and study, exercise and dance, sensuality and comfort, rest and sound sleep, work and intensity, and plenty of laughter and play. Honor your multiple intelligences, your physical sensations, your spiritual visions, your emotional realities (and you need to complain!), and the village inside you. You are an irreplaceable living shrine through which emotions, thoughts, sensations, visions, dreams, and genius can flow into this world; you're an empath, a soul warrior, and a treasure.
