Your Body Remembers Everything.…
You’ve probably heard the expression that everything’s connected but have you considered how the principle applies to your body? It’s an interesting notion because it tells us that all the traumas and emotional distress we experience leave their mark upon our physical framework. Have you come across this idea before? It isn’t a new concept or a recent discovery in the field of medical research. Many cultures have identified the connection between our posture and the emotionally-scarring incidents that shape the way our muscles contract and contort when confronted by deeply-distressing events. It’s reassuring that a new generation of psychotherapists is using this ancient insight to help their patients recover from all manner of emotional scarring. If the body remembers everything that has been experienced, this could be the most direct pathway for seeking release from the shadows of the past.
The question today is to ask whether your body is holding onto old stresses and tensions that show up as recurrent pains and discomfort, restricted movement or feelings of heaviness, lethargy or fatigue. These could be messages from your body about the need to adjust your posture, unlock the stress points and free yourself from the hardened influences of the past. Does that sound like a good idea?

One of the simplest approaches is to take a massage and focus on the back, neck and shoulders where much of the stress tends to accumulate. Any gentle stretching regime can be incredibly helpful too. The key is to avoid any pain and adopt a patient, gradual approach that helps you achieve greater flexibility and freedom of movement. As you release the points of tension, you might be surprised at the improvements in your sleep, digestion, energy levels, wellbeing and emotional disposition. Listen to your body. If it’s gently urging you to let go of the past, respect its wisdom and seek a simple way to introduce a profound sense of wellbeing that will benefit every aspect of your life.
