The Relationship Expert: The Human Body
by Shealy (Sherry Healy)

Listen Up

We are all relationship experts when we listen to the truths our bodies speak to us. When we first meet another individual our body signals to us. We, at times, might feel a tightness in our chest, a lightness in our limbs, a fluffy feeling in our stomach or any other gambit of physical sensations.

The body is constantly speaking to us and sharing the truth of our circumstances from an intuitive perspective. We simply need to take the effort and time to learn to listen to the subtle messages our body speaks and we will become experts in our own lives and relationships.

The body feels and experiences physical sensations. Then, our emotions are created and we can help identify the emotion by the physical sensation of the body. Once we have recognized both the physical sensation and named the emotional attitude, we can trust that our intuitive body is telling us a truth.

When we meet a new individual or relate to an individual we already know, we can listen to and trust our body to truthfully direct us. Our bodies will feel and then create appropriate emotions in conjunction with the relationships we are experiencing. When meeting a trustworthy relationship, then we can expect to feel a calm and relaxed feeling and thus a peaceful emotion. On the other hand, we will feel an uncomfortable feeling and generate uncomfortable emotions when we are involved or meeting with a negative relationship.

When we listen to our body, we are the relationship expert. We will know what to do in any relationship when we tune into our intuitive body and let the body make decisions for us.

Below is a simple exercise that will encourage trust of the relationship expert, the human body…
As a simple exercise, for the next week, make decisions based upon your body and emotions.

1. Think of the last time you met that wonderful person; the exceptional person who made you toes curl and your face blush. Now, think of where you were and what you were doing when you met this special person. Spend time recalling these feeling and emotions. Learn to know these emotions and sensations and trust them.

2. Recall the last time you met an individual who you did not like or trust. Think of the physical feelings you experienced. Recall the jittery sensation or the nauseous sensation that parked itself within your physical self. Learn to know these emotions and sensations and trust them.

3. Trust the expert. For the next week allow the body-not the mind-to guide you in your relationship decisions.
