I love the subtitle 'the part of you that's carrying your head around'. For many years, I treated my body like this subtitle, simply a part that was carrying my big thinking head. This is when my body started to alert me that I was not paying attention and that it brought a lot of wisdom. Between frozen shoulder and knee inflammation that resulted in daily 60-minute physio sessions that lasted almost a year, it was the (painful) hint I needed to embrace it as one of my intelligences.
Thank you for this thoughtful reflection, JL. I've experienced this so many times as well, not paying attention to the tension as it builds. When it spills over into body pain, I sometimes blame the body for breaking down. But the body is the messenger.
100%! One thing that was suggested to me then was for my body to write a letter for me. The outcome was remarkable. Our bodies are always telling us something.
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this tool. Did you use your non dominant hand to write the letter? or were you able to get the info just from stream of thought?

Just stream of thought but now I am curious what the result would be with my non-dominant hand!!! I added this to my tool box.
