When in doubt, look inside.
January 31st, 2024
When we quiet our minds, we can hear our bodies’ old stories in the form of our thoughts.
Pay attention to our bodies and we understand our minds.
Our bodies give answers before our minds know the questions.
If we don’t understand our actions, it’s because our bodies called the ball.
The physical sensations in our bodies are trailheads for self-understanding.
Our bodies’ old stories govern our future actions.
If a cat sits on a hot stove, that cat won’t sit on a hot stove again. That cat won’t sit on a cold stove either. Our bodies are just like the cat.
Our mouths sing the songs but our bodies write the sheet music.
Our bodies make decisions and then our minds declare ownership.
When we’re reactive, it’s because our bodies recognize the context and trigger the old response.
When a smell triggers a strong memory, that’s our body at work.
Bessel was right. The body keeps the score.
