When Your Body Is Asking For Something | Selfgentle 15

This episode is part of the Two Minutes of Selfgentleness with Femke series.

Your body has been signaling something. This episode is an invitation to pause long enough to hear it — not as a complicated practice, but as a simple act of attention. What is already here, and what does it need?

Transcript

Welcome to 2 minutes of self-gentleness with Femke. There's something your body has been trying to tell you. Maybe for an hour, Maybe for weeks. Tight muscles or restlessness, Feeling heavy, A need for space or warmth or just silence. Something. And you've probably noticed it. And then you moved past it. Because there was something else to attend to. Something more pressing. Something that couldn't wait. Your body doesn't argue. It just keeps asking. And if we keep not answering, Eventually it finds a way to be louder. Tuning in to your body is not a complicated practice. It's just a willingness to pause long enough to hear what is already there. So, Let me ask you. What is your body asking for right now? You don't have to have an answer. Just asking yourself the question is already something. Now let's listen to some affirmations to support you in this process. You can repeat them after me or just listen to my voice. My body is not an inconvenience. I can listen to what is already here. I am allowed to respond to what I feel. Slowing down to hear my body, To hear myself, Is not weakness. My body and I are on the same side. I give myself the attention I have been giving to everything else. Now sit with this for a moment. And you can come back to this any time you need to remember that you have a body worth listening to.
