BODY AWARENESS: TUNING INTO THE FEMININE
One of the fundamental themes to be able to navigate physical reality is body awareness
Your body is your suit, your instrument, your spaceship
Your BODY is an ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ piece of bio-technology, a SUPERB bio-suit with capabilities you might not even think were possible
It has all sorts of indicators that show you what it ๐๐๐๐๐
There are many different ones and some of them are really SUBTLE!
Are you ๐๐๐๐๐๐? or do you feel like tasting something flavorful? Do you need nourishment or do you want a hit of dopamine because you want to satisfy an EMOTIONAL need?
If you are in need of nourishing, what exactly do you need? Is it raw energy? is it protein to rebuild your muscles? is it omega 3 fats to feed your brain?
Do you want something sweet or you're dehydrated? (this one is one of the best ones)
Now there are ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ to this wisdom:
One is the left brain, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, practical information that you can find here or in many other chemistry / biology oriented bodies of knowledge.
The other one is the right brain, ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐, of what exactly your body needs, how that exact need for healthy fats or just raw energy ๐ ๐๐๐๐
This does't stop at nutrition
How rested are you? how have you been SLEEPING? Is your room too bright at night? is your mind too active?
Should i work out today? Do i feel tired or is my brain just dopamine deficient and i feel ๐๐๐๐, yet my body is fit for movement?
There is a ๐๐๐๐๐ of difference
Awareness will give you tools and insight to navigate the needs of your body
And this will mean some days you will not meet that deadline, you will cancel your plans, and spend the whole day resting, reading in bed.
We have come to a point in this society where being ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, means delivering all the time, at ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.
There is little room for feeling, cycles, resting, integrating, and all of those marvelous ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ values.
Our patriarchal outlook on the world needs some ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐-๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐
If you look at nature you will notice animals are resting ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, they lay down in the shade, then start moving and playing again, then go and rest again
The ๐๐๐๐ creature that keeps going all the time, popping some coffee or stimulants to keep going when nature demands rest, is the ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐.
No wonder everyone is stressed, ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐, irritable and full of ๐ ๐๐๐.
A huge portion of the population cannot sit in silence with themselves, are foreign to the concept of a nap. The minute they close their eyes they are ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ by thoughts, stress, anxiety.
This is your body integrating your current experience. It was like that all the while, now you are just directly witnessing it.
The good news is, if you just lay there for a while taking it all in, it settles and you feel so much better. You grab some nutritious food after and suddenly everything feels like it's going to be ๐ ๐๐๐.
I find it quite humorous that, pretty much like a hungry and underslept child, the whole world is throwing tantrums, we have older bodies but have not grown up ๐๐ ๐๐๐
I know, i say this all the time, but repetition aids assimilation:
Cultivate ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ (masculine) ๐๐๐๐๐๐ to your ๐๐๐๐, WITNESS IT (feminine)
It's the paved road to embodying an integrated, balanced human experience.
And if you had a stressful day, if you feel yourself buzzing and completely overwhelmed about everything you need to ๐๐...
Go take a nap
Seriously, go lay down for 20 minutes now
You don't even need to sleep, you just need to lay there in a comfortable place and ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The body handles it all for you, as your humble companion
As you come back, you will notice that everything that was pressuring you, feels a little bit ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐๐ซ, what was overwhelming seems a
bit more ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐, what was cloudy, now becomes ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ.
There is also a chance you might come back even more tired than you were before, and these are the signs that you were running on ๐๐๐๐๐ for a long, ๐๐๐๐ time.
You've been burning the candle at both ends, in deep ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ.
If this is the case, give your body a break, request a ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐, pace yourself so you can finally integrate, and rest.
Oh, wait, the whole world stopped so you can do just that!
How auspicious!
I promise, you will come out of that journey revitalized, energized, and way more inspired and productive than if you had been working all out that whole time.
Sincerely, let me know how that worked out for you.
Hope today finds you in peace, harmony, & love
