BODY SCAN: WHAT IS YOUR BODY TRYING TO TELL YOU?

Our bodies are on a never-ending mission to communicate with us on the outside, what’s going on on the inside.

But sometimes these signs are too subtle or we don’t pay them enough attention until they become something more serious.

Physical signs and symptoms are ways your body tries to alert you to deeper imbalances.

Taking the time to decipher the body’s codes is always better than simply popping a pill and hoping the symptoms just go away.

Ideally, we want to get to the causes of problems, not just suppress the end result of ill health.

But interpreting the body’s Morse code so to speak requires a deep level of body awareness that, like any skill, takes time and practice to perfect.

Ways to slow down and reconnect with our little humans this autumn weekend 🧡🌱✨️🍂

If you’ve been struggling to connect with or enjoy your child, pick one of these and focus in on taking time to observe it this weekend. Just try to watch for when it happens and enjoy them and enjoy that about them. See where it leads.

[Image description: A screenshot of an Instagram post from conscious.parents. It reads,
“Slow down and notice your child’s:
-facial expressions when they laugh
-smile when you hold each other’s gaze
-courage to do ‘big kid’ things
-perspective on such a big world
-many ways to show you they love you
-excitement to see you after being separated
-deep involvement when doing something they love”
