Listen to Your Body

Our body and consciousness are inseparable. The connection between the mental and physical sheds light on the function of illness at a specific moment in life and allows us to find out how the body becomes a herald of distress. Noted French psychotherapists Isabelle Fillozat and Hélène Rubi in their book "Listen to Your Body" propose developing the ability to listen to oneself, accept what is happening, and heal all one's organs and systems independently, both by addressing the past and in the present. By reading this book, anyone can attempt to determine what their illnesses mean, using the decoding framework provided by the authors. What need was ignored, what stress weakened the body, what path does this illness suggest we take? Our body is also us. Caring for it, listening to it, giving it attention means listening to the life within us, ensuring that we are on our own path. Sometimes illness insistently calls us to reassess our priorities, return to what is essential, and rediscover the joys of life. Illness cleanses us of everything superficial and gives us the opportunity to uncover a priceless treasure within ourselves.
