a client said to me the other day after a bodywork session.
"So often I just focus on what I don't like about my body or what I want to see gone. I don't like how my body has changed. I used to have slim legs, now they're so plump. And I have lipedema. And don't like to look at myself sometimes. Your gentle touch made me realize that I'm not in contact with my body at all anymore. I haven't really touched and felt it for a long time. Now I feel what this body has actually already mastered in my 62 years of life. I have given birth to and raised 4 children, had various illnesses, lived intensively.
It is now time that I really cherish my body and pay attention to it again. And listen to what it has to say to me."
How do you talk to and about your body?
Which words do you choose?
Just feel inside and listen ...
