Mind Body Connection: How to Listen to What Your Body Is Telling You, with Andrew Scheim

• Tension, fatigue and discomfort are worth noticing, not just pushing through.
• Different traditions offer different languages for listening to the body. Find one that makes sense to you.
• Gentle rhythmic movement, such as rocking, rebounding or walking, can help the body feel safe.
• Go slowly, and add a sense of safety to any practice that stirs strong feelings.
