Excessive Body Hair

Your body produces hair — abundantly, noticeably, in places that irritate or embarrass you. Medically, excessive hair growth can have hormonal causes, be genetically determined, or point to specific conditions. But there is a level that lies deeper than hormone levels: what does your body express when it invests so much energy in growth — in something that visibly pushes outward, that cannot be held back?

Hair is what grows out of you without you controlling it. It follows no conscious decision. It follows an inner program. And when this program runs at full speed, it is worth looking more closely — not at the hair itself, but at the force behind it.

Excessive body hair is not a defect. It is an expression of vitality searching for a channel — and so far it has only found one on the most physical of all levels.
