Listen In

 You can make your life better simply by listening in. Listen in to your body. You may think your brain rules your body but that's not true. Your body is prime. Your body can feel and your brain only rides around on it because it's your brain's world. A brain doesn't feel, your body does.  You can live with a brain that went to sleep but your brain can't survive without a body to keep it alive. It needs the body's electrical and nourishing factors to keep it active.  We humans come up with cute little sayings we think are very clever but often they are illogical, and often silly. "No pain, no gain" is one. If you listen to your body, it will tell you that is stupid.  When your body is hungry, it doesn't mean it wants something sweet or mind numbing; it means it will serve better with good nutrition. Your body cells have told your brain  that it wants to "go". You put gas and oil into your car for the same reasons. You need to "go", meaning you need to feel whole and happy. When you hurt, it tells you "don't do that any more".  When you are sad, it tells you " seek happiness". When you are angry, it tells you "find peace not punch". Your body is very demanding and it needs time to figure out what is "happiness" for you. Your happiness is yours alone. Meditate your own way. You don't have to run to a studio or temple to find out how to meditate. Sit somewhere nice, look at something nice and just sit. Don't listen, don't watch, don't try to think. Just be quiet and sit or lie comfortably to be nothing and do nothing. If you do this, your brain will begin to talk to you, and you and your body will begin to listen. If you are brave enough to try this, and do it longer and longer every day, you will find a better life and have a better body and your brain will love you.
