Digging Deep into the Body

I seem to have attracted some ‘body work’ into my life, this week. I find that I flow quite naturally with this technique and gain a lot from it. It’s definitely a welcome break from over intellectualisation. I still experience the myriad emotions but the good part is they do not seek to be understood, communicated or named…just to be lived and then released.

It reconnects me with my body and places the source of intelligence right here. It helps me slow down and listen for, sometimes basic and other times, deeper messages. From questions like ‘how much salt I’d like in my meal’ to ‘what should be the theme of my next workshop’. The answers lie in my physical body. I’m amazed how simple it really is and how much ‘thinking’ it has saved me. I can silence my need for logic and analysis if something emerges from my core.

I’m glad it revived ‘dance’ for me. Why have I not been doing something I enjoy, all these years? The body tells me what to move, when to move, how to move and a bit later, even why to move. Such a simplistic and yet highly sophisticated source of intelligence neglected, ignored, pushed and silenced. That’s a thing of the past!

Here come the days of reconnecting with the body, listening to it, respecting it, understanding it and revering it. The answers needn’t emerge from the right brain or the left brain but simply from within.
