Listening to the Wisdom of Your Body


Listen Later

In this episode, we discuss the importance of listening to the wisdom of our bodies. Really tuning in and paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you. We explore how societal messages of sex negativity and shame can lead to a disconnection from our bodies, and how reclaiming that connection can be a powerful act of resistance. It is so important to recognize the significance of joy and pleasure in our lives to fuel our activism!

 

Takeaways

  • Societal messages of sex negativity and shame can lead to a disconnection from our bodies, but it is important to reclaim that connection and listen to the wisdom of our bodies.
  • Reconnecting with our bodies and embracing pleasure and joy is a powerful act of resistance against societal control and manipulation.
  • Tuning into our bodies’ signals and sensations can help us set boundaries, navigate difficult relationships, and prioritize self-care.
  • Joy and pleasure are essential in our lives and in our activism, as they provide the foundation for a positive future and create resilience in the face of challenges.
  • Joining courses like Poly Possibilities and communities like Sanctuary Collective can provide support and resources for exploring these topics further.
