How often do you stop and listen to your body?  We exist on mental, spiritual, physical and emotional levels.  Our well being and sometimes our life depends on us balancing all of these levels.  When we are balanced our energies are flowing freely and we in harmony with great health and vitality.  We are "at ease" with ourselves.  However,  if our energies are out of balance we will feel dis-ease (not at ease) with ourselves which often manifests as feeling ill.

Your own healing rests with you listening to your body and watching for key symptoms of dis-ease within the body.  When we feel ill, low, lethargic or stressed we have stopped listening to our body and the inner messages that are being conveyed to us.  When you are feeling ill, your body is desperately trying to tell you something.  This is a time to STOP, REST and LISTEN to it's messages.

Are you holding onto negative thoughts or beliefs about yourself or others?.  What are your symptoms telling you about your lifestyle, your thoughts or your expectations?.

I know people who expect to be ill.  They talk illness all of the time.  They describe their ailments in detail to people who will listen, they believe that this is the life they are going to live.  Expect great health, affirm every morning that your body is strong, healthy and full of energy.  Most importantly listen to what it needs to tell you.

Over the years I have ignored the searing pain in my feet that was telling me that wearing high healed, narrow shoes were bad for my feet, legs, posture and probably bank balance!  I now wear low heals and comfort is my aim.  I no longer pour my body into "support" underwear that flattens, smooths and traps flesh in its snugly fitted vice grip, I wear big cotton comfortable pants.  Sexy......well maybe not, comfort and room to breathe....absolutely!  I have ignored headaches, neck pains and low stomach pain which was telling me to stop racing through life at a ridiculous pace.  I try to make choices to take things at a slower pace and I encourage myself to accept help when I really need it instead of trying to play a superhero martyr.

Take some time this weekend to check in with your body and listen to what it tells you, take action and take back your power over your health and well being!

Love and Blessings for a wonderful restful weekend,
