IS YOUR BODY A SILENT PARTNER?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If your body was your business partner in life,
would it be a silent partner with no input or a full partner?
- Lauren Lee

As we enter into the holiday season, with all the extra activity and extra eating, I wanted to share this article with you again, originally published in 2003. The wisdom still applies...

So often we take our bodies for granted; we treat them like they're a
silent partner with no say in what we do. I've been guilty of this
behavior. In my early years, I fed my body when it was convenient for
me, not when it was hungry. And I regularly abused it with lack of
sleep, pushing too hard, etc. Then one day, my body wouldn't take it
any more and I had to start building a relationship with it.

I grew up with animals and have them in my life today. I've always
thought it was interesting that animals seem to know exactly what
their bodies need. I've observed my cats eating grass, to release the
contents of their stomach. I've watched horses in a pasture full of
grass reaching over the fence to eat the oak tree leaves that
contained a mineral they needed. And so I wondered why we, as humans,
didn't seem to have the ability to know what our bodies need.

I decided to try an experiment and ask my body what it needed...and
listen to what it had to say. The first thing it asked for was chocolate cake. Oh great. I have some beliefs around cake - like it's fattening and not healthy - and this is what my body asks for?! Then it occurred to me that this might be a test. So, I honored the request and ate some chocolate cake. Over the course of the next week, I continued to ask my body what it wanted and needed and listen for the answer; as the week progressed, my body started asking for healthier foods and foods that made it feel great and digested well.

I learned that we *do* have the ability to know what our bodies need.
Our bodies tell us all the time...we just don't listen!

I invite you to activate your body as a full partner in your life and start to build a relationship with it. Ask it what it needs and wants, in terms of food, movement, and fun. Then listen for the answer. You might be surprised to discover you have a new friend!

And if you woud like support in building your relationship with your body, consider The Body Knowledge System (tm), offered by my dear friend and colleage, Stephanie Wood. Her program is a fabulous way to get to know your body and create a thriving partnership with your body! I highly recommend it; and have taken the program myself! See details below.

Is your body an active participant in all aspects of your life? Or does it feel like your body is something separate from you that you have to take for a walk?

The good news is that we were born with an intelligence that tells us when we are in integrity or not and that helps us make decisions that are right for us - and that's our body. The bad news is that most of us have had a lifetime of training to ignore what the body is telling us. We usually don't pay attention to it until it breaks down or stops working.
