We are currently going through a crisis of the spread of corona virus. We are bombarded with information from all sources. There are hundreds of theories floating and so hundred ways of dealing with it depending on what story you believe.
And in all this chaos we forget that this is not just about our body and the disease – but our connection with other human beings – our connection to nature – not as part of nature but nature herself. We realise how connected we are to the world and how this pandemic has affected all spheres of life.
Our health systems are collapsing, we have so many casualties and it is happening so fast that we are getting kind of desensitised with so much of information about the Covid related deaths in so many countries.
We are so caught up in our life, that we don’t realize that any physical discomfort that we experience in our body is connected to our emotional state. The aches, pain and tense muscles are ways in which our body tries to communicate to us. The temperature changes, our differing taste buds, our good or lack of appetite all these tell us many things that are happening to our body. But we are so caught up in life that we rarely listen to it.
In today’s exercise, we will pay attention to every single part of the body and notice any sensations in them. After all it is our body that we want to protect. If we listen to our body – maybe we can understand it better and let it guide us to good health and habits.
We will be observing the sensations in our body in this exercise. These could be warmth, cold, general discomfort, pain, ache, itch, buzzing, tingling, tension, pressure, tenderness, or anything else you notice or even no sensation at all.
The aim is to be conscious and aware of the different parts of your body, and allow yourself to experience how each part feels, without trying to change anything.
