The body🧍‍♀️

Make a T-chart with columns labeled “Relaxed and Open” and “Tight and Restricted,” then list moments, activities, or memories that fit each.

January 09, 2025

It’s funny how in our modern way of life, we overlook the most incredible piece of technology that we can access 24/7: our own body.

Our bodies are full of wisdom.

They know exactly what they need to stay healthy and alert us immediately when something isn’t right for us.

The challenge is that we’ve simply forgotten how to listen.

As Boyd Varty puts it, “We must learn to read the subtle tracks of the body, the way it relaxes and opens when something feels right, the contraction and tightness when we are not where we are meant to be…bringing the attention back to the landscape of the body allows you to find the trail of the wild self.”

Journal Prompt

Create a T-chart with two columns: one labeled “Relaxed and Open” and the other “Tight and Restricted.” Reflect on your life and list activities, memories, or moments that fit into each category.

Happy journaling,

Kelsey
