Ep 247: Is Your Body Controlling You?

Start Your Transformation Now


I know you’ve probably heard the phrase, “You’re not a human being having a spiritual experience, you’re a spiritual being having a human experience.” 


Even though this makes perfect sense to most people, they don’t really deep dive into it and explore the deeper meaning of it. 


Let’s approach this from the position of Duality of Being. You’re a dual being, both mind, and body, yet most of us live from only body and just casually think about mind and spirit. 


This being stated, the big question in this episode is – Is Your Body Controlling You? And, the big question is, “What is you?” Are you your body or your mind, or better asked, which part of you is the ‘bigger” part of you? 


The bigger part of you is your mind, yet we often let our body control us, and we give all our power to our body. 


Let me give you a metaphor…your pinkie. Does your mind control your body, and your body control your pinkie, or does your pinkie finger control the totality of you? 


Let’s be scientific, your brain makes 95% of your decisions but are the decisions made by “you” or your brain? And, you are not your brain. 


Let me give you another metaphor. When you go on vacation and rent a car. After you do your travels you return your car and go home and the same with you. Your body is your car, and you are driving it, it is not driving you, yet most people make the totality of their life their body. When they do this they are living from the smallest part of who they are. 


So, back to your brain. Your brain is full of chemicals and these chemicals influence your hormones, your moods, and just about all aspects of your body, but, and here is where most people lose track of the bigger picture. You are not your body, you are first a mind. 


In this episode, I dig deeper into this concept and how you can start working from the higher part of yourself and not the lower part of you, which is your body.


Transformational Takeaway: You are not your body. Do not let your body control you.
