When you first begin to connect with your body, it’s not about fixing or forcing, it’s about remembering how to listen.
Gentle inner enquiry often begins with the smallest spark, like a quiet question that invites you inward.
Your body carries a living wisdom. It pulses quietly in the rhythms of your breath, in the pauses you may easily overlook. When we learn to listen closer, the body whispers truths that the mind alone cannot grasp.
These moments of self connection can bring forward patterns you may of lived with for years, like beliefs of “I’m not enough, and themes of self-worth.
If it feels safe, start slowly. Take one question at a time.
Read it, pause, and notice…
Do you feel something arise within you?
A tightening, a sinking feeling, a warmth?
Do your thoughts and sensations agree or do they differ?
Both carry wisdom.
You might choose to write the question down, or speak it aloud. As you do, listen to the vibration and tone of your voice. See if a small space opens as you ask.
Pause. Place a hand on your belly or your heart. Then write whatever answers flow through you. Write freely, without editing or correcting. Remember this is only for you.
When done, you may want to read back what you’ve written, or not. If you do, simply notice certain words or themes that repeat.
Now take 5 minutes to gently decompress. No phone, remove distractions, and just be with yourself.
Notice how you feel.
If you feel activated or unsettled, you can soothe your body with an inner or external resource. Choose one that feels safe; stroke your pet, hum softly, sway your body, hug yourself, rhythmically tap on your sternum, talk with a trusted friend/family, or simply breathe in your own natural rhythm.
This is how self enquiry becomes embodied, and how healing moves through you, not as an idea, but as an experience.
