We live in a world full of "miracle cures," new technologies, and well-meaning advice. People tell us what to eat, what patches to wear, and how to feel. But through my journey as a hypnotherapist and a student of the human mind, I have rediscovered a profound truth: Your body is the only friend who gives you an honest answer about your well-being.
The Language of the Body
Our bodies don’t speak in English or Czech. They speak in sensations.
A tight throat.
A calm breath.
A sudden spasm.
A wave of nausea.
These aren't "inconveniences" or "detox symptoms" to be pushed aside. They are high-speed messages from your nervous system. In my practice, I teach that the subconscious mind is the master of the body. When the body reacts strongly—as I experienced recently with a physical spasm—it is the subconscious mind shouting, "This is not for us!"
When "Good Advice" Goes Wrong
A friend might offer you a solution out of love. A company might show you "scientific" studies. But your biology is unique. What works for a thousand people might be a toxin for your specific nervous system.
Recently, I tried something new to help with my dystonia. I wanted it to work. I hoped it would work. But my body said "No" with nausea and facial spasms. I could have listened to the advice to "just push through it," but I chose to listen to my body instead.
The moment I took that patch off, I wasn't just removing a piece of plastic; I was honoring my own boundaries.
Returning to Homeostasis
As a hypnotherapist, I know that healing happens when the body feels safe. If we ignore our body's signals of distress, we are telling our nervous system that we don't trust it. This creates more anxiety and more tension.
When you listen—truly listen—to that "gut feeling" or that physical reaction, you are practicing the highest form of self-care. You are telling your subconscious, "I hear you, and I will protect you."
My Promise to Myself (and My Clients)
From now on, I am committed to being a "Body Listener."
If it feels heavy, let it go.
If it makes you feel sick, stop.
If it brings peace, move toward it.
Your body is the most sophisticated diagnostic tool on the planet. Trust it. It is the only friend who knows your path to healing better than anyone else.
