Pure Path; Divine Wisdom for Your Divine Life May 2014 | Page 19

What is your body telling you? Take time to assess your entire physical being. Examine every cell with intention. Listen closely to it respond. A slight ache here… a buzzing there… slight muscle twitch here or there… swelling… itching… cramping… emanating heat or cold… on and on and on. Any little thing could be a message. Feel it and take notice. The more in tune with the subtlest of signs your body could express, the easier it will be to prevent and totally avoid sickness and structural issues. Get to know your body fully!

I understand that some could take this too far… Do not examine simply looking for things that are wrong. I really don’t want to encourage hypochondria. There will be many areas of your body that will feel spot on. Take note of muscle groups that feel relaxed, yet strong. In what areas are your best bone alignments, skin, flexibility and strengths? How have you treated those areas as opposed to the ones that are imbalanced? What steps would it take to begin aligning and nourishing your body properly?

Each person reading will have definite, unique needs when addressing their program or nutrition. Know your body first; it will be a tremendous help when determining where and if to search for professional services or advice. Listen to that body. It will alert you of some impressive things, and even teach you how to care for it properly. The body speaks to us every day, from sun up to sun down.

After truly knowing what your body is, does, and says, you will find physical balance and a healthy, extremely manageable lifestyle. If you fight it and make it a struggle, conjure fictitious ways in which your body is insufficient for you, those old, tough junkyard dogs of new diets and more gym hours will be chomping at your heels, only leading to frustration and minimal success. Once you see your physical self for what it is to you, and why it is the way it is right now, your health pursuit will then become effortless.
