the feeling.

Many years ago when I was healing from my 15 year eating disorder and looking for a way to love my body, I stumbled upon the realization that if I could get so in touch with how my body feels moment to moment, my body would guide me to the best decisions.

That trust in my bodily intuition has lead me day in and day out all of these years since. What I eat is because of how I want to feel. How I move my body is inspired by how I want to feel. Who I surround myself with is guided by how I feel in their presence.

Are there exceptions? Yes. Do I sometimes get confused because my thoughts get in the way of listening? Yes. Does my ego run interference with my bodily intelligence? Yes. But day after day, listening to my body is my true north. It is the path I return to over and over. It is the guiding force I believe in. And yoga is my way, the way, I am able to clear the clutter and listen. My mat is the place I can hear my body whisper softly, the answers I need most.

Join me in the practice of listening to and being guided by, your bodily sensations today. On the mat, in the world, at work, at play!

Have a great day in your body!

Big love,
Tammy
