Conscious Body Series Part 2 - Opening a Line of Communication and Listening

Picture
I know its a been a while since my last post about opening our conscious bodies. In fact, after writing part one, I had to sit with all the questions I posed and feel how my body wanted to proceed. One of the biggest question posed was Are you willing to open yourself up to listening more closely when your body speaks to you?  If you are, then how do you do that? In this part of the series I want to speak to exactly that; how do we listen?

Our body speaks in subtle ways and because of this, the first thing we must do is quiet our mind and external stimulation. It can be as simple as just sitting or lying in a quiet room to remove external stimulation. Quieting the mind can be a little more challenging and may take practice. One of the easiest ways I have found to do this is through the breath.
  • Sit or lay in a quiet space. If it helps you can have soft, slow music playing.
  • Take a few deep breaths. Allow the belly to fill first, then the chest.
  • Allow your body to take over the breath and be aware of it without trying to control it.
  • Feel where the breath goes, what parts of your body move with it?
  • If you find thoughts or worries coming in, that's okay. Just keep bringing your self back to the awareness of your breath.
Even if you can only do this for 5 seconds at a time before the mind comes back in, it is still working. Because those 5 seconds are starting to open that line of communication. Practice this for a few minutes each day for three or four days; I promise it gets easier!
