There are three words that go together as one: mind, body and soul. You hear that over and over again as one. Yet the body, an equal, under-respected, advisor, gets put at the tale end of the mind and soul in our day to day activities and thoughts.
There is nothing more direct than when your body gives you a gut scream when someone wants you to do something you don’t want to do, but your head says you should. There is nothing more true than when you get an exciting idea and your body is fizzy inside and nudges you to get going towards the next step. There is nothing louder or more loving than when your body lays you down in exhaustion saying, enough, stop, and take a rest. What about the immediate gratitude you get from your body after a great walk, dance, or exercise for letting it express itself.
Our body is our vehicle so we can express our mind, soul, and communicate so we can share. This vehicle is beyond wonder, we’re still figuring out this intelligent piece of work. Yet, why do many of us ignore it? Is it because we haven’t been able to explain it 100%, and our brain needs proof before we act. Our brain is language based so we tend to give it more power, because we want explanation and proof.
When I’m tired and my mind says you are too tired to go to a Zumba class, my body nudges me to go. I experience my legs, arms, and torso all thanking me for letting them play and ignoring my “don’t go” message from my brain. Our body by-passes all of those annoying tapes running through our brain. It’s a direct communicator not needing any language. It’s instantaneous. How great is that? Embellish the mystery, and listen to your body.
What ever you are focusing on right now, you body will signal a YES, No, or DO nothing yet. Think about how it’s always in the present. Yes, you store memory in it and past activities have taken its toll on your body, but right now, it will signal you on what’s best for you right now. You pile all the ‘right-now messages up, act on them and eventually you will see who you were meant to be. Put your mind aside and watch how your soul works through you body. Let you body make decisions first, and then let you mind help how you deliver it. Give it its equal due.
