My name is Isabelle Tierney, licensed therapist, creator of the Body Beloved Revolution. I want to personally welcome you to my site and hope that it inspires you to join me in this life-changing movement.
What is the Body Beloved Revolution?The Body Beloved Revolution is a call for a fundamental change in the way we relate to our body. It is a turning away from the pain and destruction caused by negative body image and a moving towards the joy and gratitude that comes from embracing our body’s magnificence. This shift in perception radically changes our life, liberating us from compulsive thoughts and behaviors and opening us to peace and love-based actions.
Why do we need a Revolution?We need a revolution to wipe out the pain caused by negative body image and give birth to a culture that loves/honors and values the body. Many of you tell me how tired you are of struggling. You tell me how you long to love your body but do not know how to take the first steps. When you join this revolution, you join a community of people who support each other in making a shift that can transform your life and the life of those around you. Working together, we can put an end to the shame we feel about our bodies and discover the miracles that they are. Let’s start a revolution!
It is time to :
- Change your perception of your body and wake up from the nightmare that has distorted your vision.
- Stop connecting with others by discussing how much weight you need to lose, how fat you are, or how much you hate your body.
- Start spreading the word about how blessed you are to have a body that lets you walk, dance, sing, see a beautiful sunset, or touch your beloved’s skin.
- Learn to relate to your body with love and reverence.
- See your body clearly - for the living breathing miraculous creation that it is!
You and your body deserve it!
Join the Body Beloved Revolution!Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ magnificent book, Women Who Run with the Wolves asks:
“Is it wise to spend a lifetime chastising this teacher who has so much to give and teach? Do we wish to spend a lifetime allowing others to detract from our bodies, judge them, find them wanting? Are we strong enough to refute the party line and listen deep, listen true to our body as a powerful and holy being?”
If you long to:
- Feel joy and gratitude when you connect to your body.
- Taste the sweetness of being in a loving relationship.
- See your body as a partner with whom you can heal present and past relationships.
Then join me in this life-changing movement that is the Body Beloved Revolution!
