“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos, the trees, the clouds, everything.” Thich Nhat Hanh
Today I am grateful for my body and its messages. I noticed my glands swelling up on my neck a couple of days ago. This is always a sign that my body is out of balance and is going to show me this message in a louder way. Well, it did get louder in the form of a cough and earache.
The trick for me now is to listen to the message instead of just getting caught up in the fixing process. This is a reoccurring theme in my life. My initial intuition about this is that it has something to do with my throat chakra and not speaking my truth. I have been feeling some anger and distance from people in my life and have not been expressing myself fully. Instead I have been isolating myself and holding in my feelings. My body is telling me it’s time to talk about these feelings with my loved ones and clear the air. This, in turn, may clear my throat.
I believe the body is always telling you things, we just get too caught up in our lives and our to-do lists to listen until it’s too late. The body will get louder and louder until it manifests into illness and even disease. This is a loving process, although it appears otherwise. I am thankful for my body’s messages as a way to give myself more love.
Much Love,
Peace Goddess
ps. This is the card I received after I had these intuitive thoughts. It is: Angel of Balance. Appropriate isn’t it?
Card is from Sandra Anne Taylor’s Energy Oracle Cards deck. BTW I love this deck!
