My Story: “Now I Really Do Treat My Body Like A Temple”

Healers often talk about the importance of the mind/body connection and for 43-year-old Iccha Ra, becoming intentional about this connection in 2011 helped transform her life, inside and out. “Before the journey, I felt disconnected from my body, like things were happening to me that were out of my control,” she shares. “I Loved myself but more at the level of philosophy. Now I Love myself at the level of practice. I am clear that I am creating everything that I am experiencing so I take the time to do what I know to do to nurture and heal.” Here, Iccha shares how she released the weight and gained even more self love.
