Listen to Your Body

Your body is the most amazing space. Keeping the attention purely in the physical – that part of us that is made up of skin, bones, muscles, blood – all those anatomical parts is one place to start this conversation. When it works well the human body is capable of so much. From the physiological functions which keep up alive to the intricate patterns this body can perform. The body wants to be well – to be in a state of health. It is our responsibility, as the inhabitant of this body, to allow that state of health to manifest. What is you don’t feel so well? Is the first port of call a paracetamol or a trip to the doctor for a pharmaceutical solution?

Mind Body connection

The  state of being human, of course, is that we are more than the physical form – we are the thoughts we have, the emotions we experience, the memories our experiences imprint on us. Because we are complex beings we find that those experiences, emotions (love, elation, joy for example) and thoughts do have an impact on the body – in the same way that bodily experiences (physical trauma, for example) have an impact on our mental state. The mind-body connection is not a one-way street. When the mind is out of balance the body will demonstrate imbalances. Then the body is out of balance there is likely to be an impact on the mental health.

Listen to Your Body
