I’m sure you know someone on the conscious or healing path that has told you we are in the energy era. I have many people in my life who have created wonderful careers for themselves in the healing arts and over the past 5 years or so have reminded me that your body speaks to you every day! It might seem like second nature to some of you but for someone like me who pretty much lived an unconscious life until about 29, listening to my body was something new. I think it was when I took my first pilates class in Guelph, Ontario during my twenties that I had a full 30 minutes of quiet time listening to my body. That was the day that my life turned conscious. I realized that I had never before taken quiet time with myself to truly listen to my body. After that day, I fell in love with pilates and ended up getting my teacher certification years later. My beautiful friend Amy has an incredible pilates certification program in Toronto, Ontario at Pilates for Life.
So, why am I sharing all of this?
Because your body speaks to you every single day. Do you have a decision to make? Have you been filling your life with unhealthy food and drink? Should you be quiting that job or creating a new circle of friends? If you sit with yourself peacefully and consistently, your body will guide you. That inner voice that already has all the answers has just become so silenced by noise, chaos and clutter that you cannot hear it until your life gets so crazy that something dramatic happens. Check out ‘Intuitive Power’ by Caroline Myss for more on this.
After years of avoiding peace and quiet (literally), your body starts to loose its groove. I truly believe that your bodycan reach a point where the stored energy is so stuck and stale that it becomes dense and truly makes you feel heavy. Have you ever spoken to someone who works daily, eats super well but cannot shed a pound? Yes, insulin resistance can be a factor but what about taking a good solid look at where in their life they leaking power? Are they in an unhealthy relationship? Do they feel stale and uninspired? Should they be making a change in their life but are too afraid to step forward? Are they ignoring intuitive hits? If your body is telling you to act and you ignore it, I’m a big believer that over time, this can lead to emotional fat. Several times in my life, those few unwanted pounds have shed from my body almost effortlessly when I became more aligned with my true nature and made decisions that were in balance with my true path.
So, as I tune out tonight, is there something your body has been telling you to do (or not do) that you have been avoiding out of fear?
Off to bed! Night Night…
