Your Body Is Talking To You

Our body communicates to us through various physical symptoms. For instance, indigestion can be perceived as a loud and uncomfortable signal, while tired eyes may be likened to a whisper from the body.

Understanding and responding to these various forms of communication is crucial for maintaining our overall well-being.

In this article I have highlighted common body talk and deeper meaning of indigestion, upper back pain and knees.

The body is always seeking your attention

When the body requires your attention, your brain is signalled. If you feel indigestion and it hurts, how do you know? You know because the brain is informed, then it creates a pain signal to get your attention.

The indigestion may not just be because of what you ate there could contributing emotional factors involved. Indigestion is often connected to difficulty assimilating an experience.

Eating is does not just provide nutrition for our physical needs, but also the assimilation of our experiences and emotions. Our digestive system can act as a mirror, reflecting our emotional state and any conflicts or stress we may be experiencing. When we take care of our emotional state, it can have a positive impact on our digestion.

If you're experiencing indigestion ask yourself, "Did something happen recently that was hard to "digest"? Did you recently have a disagreement. Your body is a feedback system giving you essential information. It's encouarging you to release and resolve an issue before it becomes a serious problem.

Have you ever been stressed about your financial situation, then felt your lower back hurt? That's a mind-body connection. Your body is reflecting your financial stress.

Physical symptoms are often an emergency alarm communicating to you the underlying issue.

How is it that we miss listening?

Most of us have never been taught to tune in to our bodies needs. Yet, connection with our bodies is just as important as taking care of its physical needs. We shower our body, we feed it when it's hungry but often neglect communicating with it which leaves us disconnected. Just like a child needs communication and emotional support from their parents, it is crucial for us to tune into our body and decode its needs in order to maintain a healthy life.

Sharpen your emotional intelligence

Sometimes we ignore or repress our feelings because you don't want to feel bad. It's important to learn how to acknowledge and express our emotions in healthy ways. For example, letting go and allowing things to unfold instead of worry or trying to control the outcome. This requires surrender and trust.

Helpful questions to ask

When exploring emotions, it's important to reflect on how your body feels. Start asking questions like, "Where do I feel that in my body?" "Does it have a color or texture?" Notice if it moves around. Be curious.

For instance, sadness might manifest as a heaviness in your chest, while anger could be felt as tension in your jaw or fists. Joy might give you a light and warm sensation in your heart. Exploring these physical sensations can deepen your understanding of your emotional experiences and help you recognize and manage them more effectively.

Here are some common issues people struggle with:

Upper Back Pain

Upper back tension is often a sign of underlying emotional stress or lack of support in relationships. Taking time to reflect on your feelings and addressing these issues can begin to help alleviate this tension.

Affirmations can be used to reinforce self-love and remind yourself that you are deserving of love and support. Do what works for you.

Knees

Knees have to do with flexibility. Knees represent our ability to be flexible and as well as pride, ego and stubbornness. When your knees hurt, it may be a sign that you are being stubborn or stuck in your ways. By letting go of your ego, embracing contrast, and being flexible, you can move forward and go with the flow.

These are just a couple of issues, by being aware of these signals and paying attention to what your body is telling you, you can better take care of yourselves and address any potential issues or needs that may arise.

Helpful tips

Hand on heart, breathing in a color will help clear the issue. Of course change subconscious beliefs to help address symptoms. Using the mantra "Let it be" will help shift and release any issue.
