What Part of Your Body Are You Listening To Today?

This is a pause. A breath between doing. A return to the body’s wisdom.

Every day, your body speaks — in pulses, aches, tension, lightness. Most days, we miss it. Today, you are invited to listen. Not to all of it. Just one part. The one that is whispering loudest.

A Ritual of Attention

• Sit or lie down in stillness. Close your eyes.

• Ask softly: What part of me is calling for attention today?

• Wait. Trust the sensation that surfaces — your neck, belly, hands, heart.

This is your focus. This is your teacher.

Responding with Care

1. Breath
Place a hand on the area. Breathe into it. Visualize spaciousness. Release.

2. Movement
Let your yoga or stretch practice begin from this part. Let it lead. Follow its rhythm, not the pose.

3. Touch
Warm oil, gentle massage, a hot compress — touch as medicine.

4. Rest
Sometimes the only response needed is permission to stop.

The Practice of Listening

Listening is a practice. A skill. A reclaiming.

This question — What part of my body am I listening to today? — becomes a ritual. A daily check-in. A returning.

Use this as a morning guide, a client offering, a quiet post or email. It is not for fixing, but for remembering.
