listen to your body

Your body is full of wisdom, and most of us do not know how to access this wisdom.

In today’s episode of AlignedLife, my guest, Lindsay Troxell, joins me to discuss somatics. We don’t get too deep into somatics and keep it at an introductory level, as many people aren’t even aware of somatics and the work associated with it.

Here are a handful of takeaways from the episodes–you’ll definitely want to listen to or watch the entire episode to learn more about these:

  • Somatics is the practice of looking inward.
  • Introspection helps in understanding bodily sensations.
  • Our body can signal when we need to protect ourselves.
  • Exhaustion can be a response to fear of challenges.
  • The nervous system significantly influences our lived experiences.
  • Recognizing tension can aid in emotional regulation.
  • Understanding sensations can improve decision-making.
  • Somatics can enhance our interactions with the world.
  • Emotional responses are often tied to physical sensations.

I’m proud of this episode and excited to help more people pay attention to the messages their bodies are sending.

"The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of one's being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated."

“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” -The Dalai Lama See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
