6 Amazing Insights That Prove Your Body Is Smarter Than Your Brain


Listen Later

Our culture has taught us to put an emphasis on and trust only in the information we get from our brains. At best, we completely ignore what our bodies have to tell us, and at worst we treat our body and its sensations like the enemy. When we don’t tap into our body’s wisdom, we’re operating without the richest source of information available to us.

 

Our bodies are our friends - they provide a level of wisdom we can’t get from our minds. They tell us what’s giving us life and what’s taking it away. They give us insight into the areas we need to heal emotionally, and they communicate a lot faster than the most brilliant brain ever could. They give us the tools we need to navigate fear and other challenges. If you’re disconnected from your body you’re robbing yourself of this vast and lush garden.

 

Learning to listen to our bodies and making them a safe space for us has a wealth of benefits.

 

How do we start building a friendship and connection with our bodies? What are all the amazing things we can learn by feeling into our body sensations instead of skipping over them? In this special episode, we revisit an important skill we all need to develop - listening to and trusting our body wisdom.

 

You’ll also learn about;

-Sense foraging and the power of exploring your inner landscape 

-Presencing and the importance of shifting your attention within 

-How to get fuel from life energy, not adrenaline 

-How to use daily practices to care for your body 

-Why your sensations are quicker than your thoughts 

-Simple ways to bring attention to your body’s wisdom
