This is my first ever blog and I confess to being nervous. My stomach is doing these funny little loop-d-loops as my hands shake a little bit at the nerve of me to think I can actually write a blog people would want to read.
At the same time, there’s a quickening in my heart that says “people need what you have to offer.” As I write this, tears form in my eyes, because it’s true. People need to know that their bodies are their greatest resource. I want you to know that your body is just waiting to help you better navigate your world and live the life you’ve always wanted to live. All you have to do is listen.
I’ll use this moment as an example. If I had only noticed the nervous stomach or shaking hands, I may have stopped typing and told myself no one will ever read this, why bother. But, when I also noticed the physical sensations in my heart, and listened to my heart’s message, I was compelled to continue, to not give up. My heart prompted me to step out in the world with my important message.
What is your heart saying to you right now? Take a moment to place your hands on your heart. Start first with physical sensations. What do you notice? What does your heart want you to know? to do? to be? Take good notes for your heart wants only the best for you.
I’d love to hear from you. You can share as much or as little as you’d like.
Until next time, be friends with your body!

Joan,
I love your post. Just this morning I took a quote out of my book, Love Me, Touch Me, Heal Me, “Love and Nurture Your Body. It is Your Friend for Life.” Our body provides us with messages that can help us to live more joyfully if we listen. And what is more important to listen to than our own heart’s message.
Warmly,
Erica

Kamela, thank you for your comment. I’m beginning to realize that I’m really simple at heart. I can get convoluted and multi-layered, and my heart’s voice is simple AND perfect.
Of course, the body speaks and responds best to simple language. Sometimes, I have an image of my body falling asleep when I try to use a ton of words to explain anything to it. My body is more like, stop, go, eat, sleep, love.
