Feeling Sensational?

When was the last time that you felt "Sensational" or "Marvelous"?
If it's been awhile, I want to let you know that it's not that hard to achieve. I use these terms- sensational and marvelous- because I heard those words in the past week from two separate clients.


How did they connect to those feelings? By deeply listening to their own bodies.
Sure, I facilitate the process with my touch and verbal direction, but it's their own inner Self that is speaking to them. I help that process largely by being able to recognize when they are listening to their known territory, their mind, and when they are receiving new information through their body. 


I know the difference because of my training, of course, but also because I know how the body communicates, and how the mind communicates. And, unfortunately, they are often speaking different languages and need a translator, like me. 


I also know that if someone is being harsh with themselves, or dismissive of their tender places, this is the mind speaking. The mind doesn't want to be mean, but it's been trained to believe that this is how it has to be. The body, by contrast is gentle, generous and kind. 


You might imagine that if you let your body speak to you, that it would be full of complaints and criticisms. But this has never been true, from my experience, with my own body or with those of my clients. 


When the mind can receive the true message of the body's loving kindness, "Sensational" and "Marvelous" become the natural outcome. Try noticing what your inner kindness may be saying to you through your body, and see what happens!
