Listen to Your Body: The Secret to Getting Your Needs Met

When you experience physical or emotional pain or discomfort, or that gut feeling that something isn’t right, what do you do with that information?

Do you honor it?   Or do you run away from it? 

In America, we are taught to “stop crying like a baby”, and to be “cool”.  We are busy!  We have things to do, places to go, people to see, money to make!  It’s what’s expected of us and it’s what everyone else is doing!

But with all the stimulation, the noise, the technology, the busyness, the thirst for excitement and thrill, are we loosing touch with our inner signals?    Our ability to connect with our deepest needs?   Our inherent wisdom?

What are the consequences of ignoring our body’s needs? 

It can inhibit us from finding the joy in simple things, from true intimacy, from being able to take care of ourselves.  And when we can’t honor or recognize our own needs it becomes harder to recognize the needs of others, of animals or Mother Earth.

What are the benefits of listening to our bodies?    Listening to your body can improve your physical, emotional and cognitive health and prevent its decline.  Plus it can even save your life!  How?
