Listening to the Language of the Body
The body speaks in quiet murmurs long before it raises its voice. Often, what we label as discomfort or anxiety is actually a sacred message - an invitation to come home to ourselves.
For many, this may show up as a flutter or heaviness in the belly, a tightening in the chest, or a restlessness that doesn't quite have words. These sensations can arise in the sacral or solar plexus - centers of emotion, intuition, and power. Rather than signals to suppress, they are messengers guiding us toward deeper truth.
It’s easy, especially in a world that rewards productivity, to ignore these signals. The instinct may be to cover them up with food, distractions, busyness, or even exercise. But the body doesn't give up. It gently- and sometimes loudly - asks to be heard.
When the journey inward begins, and layers of conditioning begin to fall away, clarity emerges. What once felt like anxiety begins to reveal its root: moments when truth is silenced, when power is given away, when outcomes feel out of reach or safety feels threatened. The body responds - not to punish, but to protect. It asks for presence. For stillness. For love.
Through Reiki, and later deepening into shamanic practices, a new understanding of energy revealed itself. Energy is not just what moves through us - it is us. With this awareness, body and energy become partners in healing. Every sensation becomes a conversation with the soul.
This is a practice. It takes time, compassion, and curiosity. The healing comes in small choices - pausing to listen, breathing into sensation, choosing love over fear. And most importantly, remembering that transformation doesn't require force. One breath at a time is enough.
If you’ve been sensing your body trying to get your attention - through tightness, discomfort, or a quiet knowing that something needs to shift - you are not alone. You are being lovingly invited into a deeper connection with yourself.
If this speaks to you, you’re welcome to explore this further through a one-on-one energy session. These sessions offer a sacred space to listen, feel, and gently release what no longer serves, so you can return to the truth of who you are - clear, connected, and whole.
With love,
