Checking In With Yourself. What Your Body Knows That You Don't. Dear Friend,
Learn to listen to your body talk. You'll feel better for it.
Maureen Gallagher, PhD is a New York-based licensed psychologist who incorporates into her practice the use of SE or 'Somatic Experiencing'.
She is part of a growing trend of therapists, recently reported about in the New York Times Magazine , who have started subscribing to the view that by paying attention to physical sensations in the body ('somatic'), it is possible to get to the root of mental and emotional ailment and heal.
Thank you, Doctor Maureen! This is Sahaja Yoga by another name. Except that Sahaja Yoga has about 50 years head-start.
Every time your Kundalini rises in daily meditation, she points out, via sensations felt on your fingers, what 'catches' (blocks) you may have on your different chakras.
A 'catch' on a chakra could be the root cause of an ailment - see: Finger Physician - Diagnosing Your Health & Wellbeing On Your Hands.
The added bonus of the Sahaja Yoga approach to 'Somatic Experiencing', apart from it being free and not needing a therapist to guide you, is that it's very simple for you to clear a catch and make yourself feel better.
The more regularly you check in with yourself in this way, the better attuned you become with your body, and much more aware of what helps you and what hinders you. More below.
