All humans talk. Some talk a little, others a lot. We have various conversations throughout the day. We talk to family, friends, colleagues, staff, even strangers. Some even talk to their pets and plants.
How many of us talk to our bodies?
Talk to our body? Is that even a thing?
Our body supports us and carries us through our living years, irrespective of whether we nurture it or neglect it.
A recent spate of ill health that kept continuing irrespective of medication set me thinking. What was it that my body needed since it was obvious that doctors and medication did not seem to be enough?
I have believed in and followed Affirmations for a while now. The miraculous turn I notice as soon as I start repeating a few lines of Affirmations every day has kept my belief firmly rooted in them.
That is when I asked myself that if a few lines can make things turn around, what would a whole conversation with my body do?
Communication is the key to solve problems, is my motto. That is when I began talking to my body.
I began by apologizing to my body for not valuing it enough and not treating it right. After which I thanked it for carrying me through every day. For aiding me to keep going even when I was exhausted or unwell. I thanked it for being there for me even when I did not reciprocate by nurturing it right.
The human body is made up of thousands of tiny cells, each alert and responsive to our every thought. It never ceases to surprise me how soon they pick up what our mind conceives.
Our thoughts are the gearshifts of our physical self. Change them to lead your body and life where you want them to go. Share on XJust like I see Affirmations work, post these conversations with my body I began seeing small changes happen where my health was concerned.
Healing begins from the inside. I am hopeful that mine has.

‘Healing begins from the inside. ‘ So true.
I have slowly realised that everything is controlled by the mind and positive thoughts are very important to stay happy and healthy. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2019.
Positive affirmations go a long way in defining us. I hope that these talks with your body, the reassurance that you will take care of it, help you alleaviate your troubles Take care.
Ah Mayuri – how I love the whole exercise of visualisation , affirmation etc. I tell myself each day that I am slim, sexy and young. Sadly, I visualise all the exercises in my bed and get up tired just having decided which ones I’m going to do when I get up.
How I wish I could wish away my pounds. I do go for a walk every day, do some yoga and control my eating. I listen to my body when it tells me to stop …..I’m waiting for my body to listen to ME.
Lol! Our conversations are completely different, Sunita. I am asking my body to heal and get healthy. It seems to be listening:)
It is very important to talk to your body and also listen to what it has to say. My body is my temple and I prefer to take care of it very well, this is the only place I have to live after all.
Healing begins from inside, yes. Always.
