Vegan Vogue and Vibes: Biohacking Tips for Calming Digestive Issues
Tip ~Listen To Your Gut Instincts
The rumbles are there for a reason. It could be due to being misaligned with your truest path, eating something your body might have a sensitivity to, anxiety (aka butterflies in your stomach), a signal of a deeper root symptom you've become accustomed to, accumulated stress from relationships, work, and everyday life, or a potential sign of burnout. Whatever it is, your intuition is there to guide you to healing.
The first step is to listen gently. Place your hands around your stomach area (or in yogic terms, your sacral or solar plexus chakras) and thank your body for doing what it’s supposed to do by sending you signals of pain or discomfort. Then, ask the question, "What are you trying to tell me, and how can I heal better?" Take a couple of deep belly breaths and just listen.
You'll be surprised how your subconscious mind will start constructing solutions, like prompting you towards a remedy, reaching out to a health professional for support, resting your body, or highlighting a need for a deeper dive into possible 'trauma triggers.'
In the busyness of life, we can forget that we are blessed with an inner voice and an inner knowing of our needs and how to meet them. It often requires a moment of pause and stillness. Try it for as little as 2 minutes: feel your belly, take a breath, thank your body for the signals, ask what it needs, then listen gently.
Enjoy your day!
