How to Listen to Your Body ?
Start by being curious and kind . This eliminates judgement . Slow down . Be intentional . Pull slow breaths into your body and notice how the air flows . Breathing is at the core of regulating your body and bringing it to safety .
Notice where you are feeling activation .
Notice where you are experiencing tightness or calm . Your body does not just have one message running through it . It has many communicating at one time . There may be warmth or coolness . Even sensations of color or patterns . Some energies are more overt than others . Make space to just notice .
Breathe into the obvious energies . Make way for the subtleties . Stay curious about your stomach , back , shoulders , neck , arms or legs . Are there areas that feel tight or blocked ? Be curious about these blocked energies , too . Stay in a place of just noticing as if this is the first time you have met your body .
