The old saying “trust your gut” is good advice. In our world of information overload, intuition can be silenced by choice, judgment, fear, anxiety, and clever marketing. Our body has the ability not only to function but to heal. Without your conscious input, it performs around a billion biochemical reactions in each cell every second of every day. Our body’s sole purpose is to maintain homeostasis, i.e. balance, for you to thrive. At what level depends upon your inputs, and symptoms are messages from your mind and body that need adjusting or redirecting. If you don’t listen, the messages will become louder, which is where chronic disease takes hold. Listening to and acting upon your body’s wisdom, acting upon those messages can most definitely reverse disease. Learning to trust your intuition is a crucial element of maintaining vital health.
