My Body Compass


As a life coach, I have come to practice the art of reading my body as a compass. Learning to rely on the feelings and sensations of my body to indicate when I'm traveling "true north".

That is an expression Martha Beck author of "Steering by Starlight" uses to indicate when your actions and your values coincide. Just as my daily yoga practice creates an avenue to breathe and detoxify my body, compass reading helps me to hone in on my intuitive skills and live my best life.

Research is showing that we have repeat indicators in our body that lets us know personally when we are feeling a yes or no. For example, I get a tight sensation in my throat when my compass is in the wrong direction. On the other hand, my core seems to light up or expand when I'm headed "north". Unfortunately it usually takes a hard situation for the average person to listen to their gut.

My suggestion is to start using your listening skills in soft situations and you are sure to make better decisions in every day life.


Love and light,
