Most of us spend a lot of time in our heads – thinking, reasoning, analysing, making assumptions, developing beliefs, and forming judgments and opinions.  Did you know that these activities – that engage the prefrontal cortex of the brain, use more energy than other parts of the body?  And after all that, sometimes we are not any clearer, and might even be more confused!

This is because we are not working with all the information available.  We exist in a sea of frequencies – vibratory waves of information, that go through us as well as around us.  In addition to the TV and radio waves, mobile phone frequencies, electromagnetic waves of appliances and computers, solar, lunar, and other cosmic waves, are emotional frequencies of others, thought waves, and the waves of collective consciousness.  And every single vibration carries information.  For example, when two people pick up on each others’ thoughts – they have actually tuned into the thought frequency of the other.

Since we could not function if we were aware of all the frequencies within the vibratory field we live in, we have very effective filters that protect us from a potential overload.  Nevertheless, our bodies are constantly monitoring and responding to this vibratory field we live in.

Your body perceives what is not known by the senses

Our bodies are sensing aspects of our environment beyond the range of our other senses, and beyond what we know with our cognitive mind.  Remember, just because we cannot see, measure, taste, smell, hear, or feel something does not mean it does not exist.  Even our technology has limitations to detect certain frequencies of information.

Your body is a sophisticated tuning fork

Your body responds to the energy within your environment, and you experience the sensations that correspond to what your body perceives.  For example, when someone is not being truthful, you may not know it at a cognitive level.  In fact, your mind might be telling you to trust this person.  However, the person is transmitting discordant energy and not only does your body perceive this energy/information, you experience the affect of this energy.  Your body responds much the same as it would to a message of ‘unsafe,’ however the sensations are usually way more subtle.  For example, you might feel a slight sense of discomfort as if ‘something is not right.’  If you are not tuned into your body, you are likely to miss these sensations altogether.

Truth resonates

When you hear a Truth (not a factual truth, such as “the train arrived 11 minutes later than scheduled,” but rather one that speaks to your heart and soul), your body literally resonates.  You may feel a tingling as you expand your ‘field’ in response to a Truth.  Some people experience alignment, as if ‘all the parts’ have clicked into place, and they feel energy surging through their bodies.  Some experience greater clarity and feel empowered.  An overall sense of well being is experienced when a Truth is spoken.  To experience this resonance you might like to listen to Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.  It’s no wonder that speech stirred the hearts of millions, and still does today.

Judgments lead to self-fulfilling prophesies

When we judge others – even in an attempt to understand them, our minds are busy using up energy making meaning, formulating opinions, and creating beliefs.  What’s worse is – thanks to what we now know about neuroplasticity – that we literally shape our brains to continue to experience what we are judging.  AND thanks to what we know from modern physics – when we focus on a certain aspect or outcome, not only is this what we bring into existence, we eliminate all other possibilities to occur.   We can easily get caught up in the cycle of ‘self-fulfilling prophesies.’

Honour your body – it is more accurate than your mind

As we know, the mind can get overwhelmed, confused, and can often be easily influenced or manipulated.  The body responds to the unseen energy behind others’ words and intentions and cannot lie.

It pays to listen to your body first

We can experience more peace and harmony, and make better choices when we listen to our bodies first and feel into the energetic information we are receiving.  Our bodies will faithfully and accurately tell us “yes, keep going,” or “no, this is not a good thing.”  We can keep our mental chatter to a minimum and avoid over analyzing and making judgments of ourselves and others. Noticing what we are experiencing in our bodies keeps us in the present moment.  We are literally engaging with the energetic information that is happening in the very moment.

A peaceful mind leads to greater harmony – on the outside as well as the inside.  We can put our minds to better use when we let our bodies guide our choices and actions.

We are living in a time where information of all kinds is increasing.  Not all this information is helpful, truthful, or complete.  It behooves us to develop the skill to peacefully navigate this sea of information, and listening to our bodies is at the core of this skill.
