Our body offers us a great indicator or barometer of how we live with love (aroha) for ourselves. All our choices, from the way we move, how we communicate, what we eat, how we exercise, to the time we go to bed, have an impact on our body, health and well-being.

 

Our body is our best friend and is always giving us messages as to how it is feeling, we just need to take the time to stop, to listen and to act on these messages. If we don’t take the time to listen its messages will only get louder and eventually we may be brought to a stop with an illness, disease or injury.

 

When we take the time to ‘listen’ attentively, we realise that our body tells us very quickly if the choices we have been making have been caring and considerate, or not. But could it be that most of us have not been raised to know how to listen to our body and to decipher its many messages?
