‘Metanoia’ is Greek for transformational change of heart or repentance. I thought that it was an incredibly powerful and dynamic word to describe what I experienced, when I had a conversion experience essentially, and when I reconciled to my body, I reconciled to God. I wanted to follow my body’s journey from having really no worth, to being of this extraordinary, priceless value. There was a lot I needed to be healed from both internally and externally … I felt like the work God did in my heart could almost be tracked through how he transformed my relationship to my body.
