From Body to Spirit: A Metaphysical Reflection on Easter

As a child, Easter was confusing—what did crucifixion, bunnies, and chocolate eggs have to do with each other?

But the farther I walked on my spiritual path—especially as a student of A Course in Miracles—the meaning became clearer.

Not as religious doctrine, but as a truth that brings me back to my essence: Love.

I’m not religious by any means. In fact, some might even consider me a heathen! (Though I prefer to identify as a sexy and flirtatious sunbeam dancing through life ✨)

Part of my spiritual evolution has involved reconciling the belief system I was raised in and discovering my own understanding within it.

What I’m sharing here isn’t the truth—it’s a truth.

One that helps me make sense of why we’re here, how we grow, and how we heal.

It’s a perspective that reconnects me to the divine intelligence within—all that is.

Good Friday, to me, represents the part of our journey where we identify with the body.

Pain. Suffering. Sacrifice.

It’s what happens when we forget who we are and believe the illusion that we’re limited to flesh, form, and fear.

It’s when we feel separate from Love.

But Easter is about what comes after.

It’s the shift from body to Spirit. From fear to Love.

It’s not about the death of the body—it’s about the resurrection of the Truth.

And the Truth is:

We are not our wounds.

We are not our stories.

We are certainly not what happened to us.

We are eternal. We are light.

We are already whole.

To paraphrase A Course in Miracles: “The crucifixion is the symbol of ego death. The resurrection is the symbol of the mind’s return to Love.”

So maybe the Easter story isn’t about what we need to suffer through.

Maybe it’s an invitation to rise above illusion.

To lay down the burdens we’ve carried.

To stop identifying with pain, and start identifying with power—

The power of Love.

I explored all of this in a recent ARISE practice, where I shared an impromptu Good Friday message from the heart—a reflection in motion, guided by the spirit of renewal.

We moved.

We breathed.

We remembered the truth of who we are.

✨ If you’d like to experience that reflection, you can watch the full clip here on YouTube:

This Wholeness Week, we remember:

We are not broken.

We are already whole—because we were created by Love itself.

And so we rise.

Again and again.

Happy Easter. 💛
