Listening to your body
Listen to your body, it is very wise.
Wiser than you conscious mind, wiser than the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Einstein, Steven Hawkins, wiser than your Gran, wiser than the Biggest super computer in the world, wiser than you’ll ever know and than you’ll probably ever give it credit for.
Your body is wiser than you, yet most of us don’t listen to it nearly as diligently enough. Listen deeply to your body and hear what it is saying.
What is it saying right now?
It tells you when to eat, when to sleep, when to move, when to hold on and when to let go.
But more than just being wise it’s also a very good listener. It listens to you, to your conscious mind, that part of you that creates and mediates your life and your reality.
Whatever reality it creates, your body listens, prepares for and adjusts and responds accordingly.
The reason why your body listens to the less wise conscious mind between your ears, is because, you conscious mind has the power to create, to transmit and to change the nature of the reality around it.
So if your mind believes something is so, even though it may not have been so originally, your body prepares for the reality you are creating.
So your thoughts, your conscious thoughts are really important. They have an impact on you body. Your unconscious thoughts also greatly impact on you body.
Now take all of your conscious though and put them to one side.
Now take all your conscious thoughts and put them to the other side.
Now clean a space within yourself, a silent space, a clear and tranquil place within yourself that just listens.
Listen to your inner deep.
This is the knowledge that your belly knows, the truth that your guts are aware of.
What I want you to listen to is your gut instinct.
It is more than just reactionary ‘gut instinct’. Most people think of a time when they knew something in their guts, there might have been a twinge in their belly that told them something very strong, and that was probably their gut instinct. But your guts are telling you so much more subtle information all the time, not just life and death shouting, but an encyclopaedia of life altering information at most of the time we are completely oblivious to.
[Your belly is actually a form of brain a seemingly more basic brain, but nonetheless a communicator of intelligent information.]
So take time to listen to your belly, listen to your body, learn to become aware of what it is really saying.
Listening means and implies a certain level of real care for that or who you are listening to.
So care and love your belly, care for and love your body and listen to them.
Feed them good food, let them out to see the world, and get moving and have fun.
If you listen you’ll find out that your body actually really enjoys moderate exercise and your belly enjoys tasty healthy food in moderation.
