Your Body Has Been Talking and You’ve Just Been Ghosting It.
You know that friend who only calls when she needs something?
That’s how most of us treat our bodies.
We ignore it when it whispers (“I’m tired”), roll our eyes when it nags (“drink some water”), and only start listening when it’s shouting (“why am I crying in then grocery store again?”).
Here’s the truth: your body always speaks first.
Your mind just takes a little longer to catch up.
The Language of Energy
Your body has its own language one made of sensations, tension, aches, and emotions.
It doesn’t use words. It uses energy.
Think about it:
- Tight shoulders = carrying too much responsibility
- Knot in your stomach = fear or anxiety
- Headache = mental overload
- Random tiredness = emotional drain
- Shallow breath = holding back or suppressing emotion
Your body is basically your most loyal friend, quietly trying to guide you home, but you keep hitting “mute.”
The Cost of Not Listening
When we ignore the signs, the body turns up the volume
- First, it whispers.
- Then, it complains.
- Then, it screams, usually in the form of stress, illness, or complete burnout.
For me, it started with headaches. Then migraines. Then severe lower back pain. Then fatigue. Then full-blown exhaustion.
I was ticking all the boxes working hard, being the strong one, pretending everything was fine, until my body said, “Nope, we’re done here.”
And I’ll be honest, it wasn’t gentle. But it was necessary.
Your body will always protect you.
When it can’t get your attention through gentle nudges, it’ll create chaos to make you pause.
Listening Is a Skill (and Anyone Can Learn It)
The good news? You can learn to understand your body again.
It’s like rebuilding a friendship, awkward at first, but totally worth it.
Here’s how to start:
1 Get Quiet, But Not Necessarily Still
- You don’t need to meditate like a monk.
- Go for a walk, sit in the garden, have a long bath.
- Just be with yourself.
- Silence isn’t empty, it’s full of answers.
2 Check In, Don’t Check Out
Ask:
- “What am I feeling right now, physically, emotionally, energetically?”
- You might be surprised how quickly your body responds.
3 Notice Patterns
- Does your back hurt when you’re around certain people?
- Do you always get headaches after stressful meetings?
- That’s not coincidence, it’s communication.
4 Try Muscle Testing
- It’s one of the simplest ways to ask your body what it needs and get a clear yes or no.
- It works because your body can’t lie.
- Your mind might justify anything, but your energy knows the truth.
5 Say Thank You
- Your body doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be acknowledged.
- Thank it for carrying you, feeding you, protecting you.
- That tiny bit of gratitude can transform your relationship with yourself.
The Body Always Knows
Ever had a “bad feeling” about someone that turned out to be right?
Or an instant calm around someone who felt safe?
That’s your body reading energy before your brain can process logic.
Your Energetic Body Intelligence is your built-in guidance system.
It knows what’s true for you and what’s not.
You just have to tune back in.
The Moment You Start Listening, You Start Healing
When you reconnect with your body:
- Stress feels easier to manage.
- Decisions feel clearer.
- You stop seeking validation.
- You finally feel at home in your own skin.
Your body is not the enemy.
It’s your teammate. Your truth-teller. Your lifelong partner in healing.
So next time it speaks, listen.
And if you’ve been ignoring it for a while, it’s okay.
You can start today.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to be spiritual, flexible, or enlightened to listen to your body.
You just need curiosity and kindness.
Because once you stop fighting yourself and start tuning in, you’ll discover that your body isn’t the problem.
It’s been the solution all along.
