We all strive to achieve harmony between mind, body, and spirit. And when you're in tune with it, your body asks for exactly what's right for it, and you can always hear its voice loud and clear.

It's the same with the clothes you wear. When someone is really "in their body", their clothes are not a projection, not an extension of themselves, but part of themselves; not a self-conscious, or even a conscious statement; not any kind of statement, really, but a gesture, a fleeting moment in the continuous motion of living.

And the key is, once again, to listen closely to what your body wants. Does it want another clever t-shirt or a whole new kind of garment? Does it want clothes that fit sensibly or flare outrageously? Does your body want to stand out and turn heads or stay hidden in the crowd? Does it want to be adorned or shoe-horned? Does it want humdrum or fun? Would it prefer to be next to boring old cotton or to rub up against some new kind of fur that it's never felt before?

Let all your senses guide you. Choose your clothes with your tongue and your fingers. Inhale them. Listen to them.

Wear them at home, in front of the mirror. Then wear them at an all-night party in the forest. Then wear them at work and in the street and especially during jury duty.

You've got an eternally beautiful body. Give it what it wants:
