What is Body Wisdom Coaching?

Have you ever wondered why your body is expressing symptoms of illness, low energy or pain? Do you suffer with a condition like chronic fatigue, M.E., Fibromyalgia, anxiety or depression?

In Body Wisdom Coaching we are stepping into a conversation with your body and learning what it is trying to communicate to you through these symptoms.

Our bodies are an amazing ally and they are always on our side and trying to help us. This truth runs contrary to how it feels when illness is present or we are suffering with chronic pain or low energy levels. In the modern world, we live in a culture that is deeply diconnected from the truth of our body’s wisdom and the result is we have not been taught how to be receptive to these subtle cues.

What You Will Learn

In Body Wisdom Coaching I teach you how to understand the messages your body is sending, and then together we find out what action and changes are needed in your life and lifestyle to enable healing. This is a journey that requires commitment and courage, but is always so well rewarded with growing wellbeing, happiness and health.

The journey is about reclaiming your true nature and living your true life, aligned with the calling of your soul. A richly profound and transformational process which will allow you to fully flourish and thrive.

The Background to Body Wisdom

In western medicine the mind and the body are separated in two, but this is not really possible as our subconscious mind is expressed through every cell of our body (for more on this please read Candace Pert’s amazing book Molecules of Emotion…a life changing read!)

In eastern medicine this concept of mind and body being inextricably linked is deeply understood. In order to treat a physical condition they also treat the metal, emotional and spiritual bodies. This is the true meaning of holistic healing, and the basis of all complementary and alternative medicine techniques: to restore the mind/body relationship where it has become broken.

In order for us to heal we need to understand the deeper meaning behind our physical illness, and on the whole the reason we are unwell is that we are not living according to our true nature and authentic self. Trauma in childhood, unhealthy social conditioning and family patterning are usually at the root of our having veered away from living authentically. Thankfully the journey back to health can be swift as we learn to listen to our deeper wisdom and follow it’s guidance.

When there is a break down in relationship between mind and body wisdom there tends to be a domination of thinking over listening to emotions…we see this everywhere in our modern culture, and it creates huge amounts of distress in our bodies ands in our psyches. The more disconnected we have become from nature, natural rhythms and organic ways of life the more we have become “stuck in our heads”. The increasing levels of illness both mental and physical are no surprise.

Your gut has some 100,000,000 neurons, which is more neurons than are in your spinal cord. Over 30 neurotransmitters are present within the digestive tract and 95% of your body’s serotonin is found in your bowels. The brain and the gut communicate, but while only 20% of the information flow goes from brain to gut, 80% goes from gut to brain. The gut sends information about emotional sate, safety and to a lesser extent digestion. It is this flow of communication that contributes to the “gut feeling” we all know of. The sense of knowing that has no rational explanation.

It is these gut feelings that you will learn to tap into more and more through Body Wisdom Coaching sessions.

It takes a little time to re-build the relationship between mind and body, but once the connection is restored then health and energy bounce back.
