“If you will talk to your body, it will listen.” ~ Dr. Bernie Siegel
Bernie Siegel M.D. has been my mentor, hero and inspiration for four decades. A retired oncologist and now a world eminent educator and healer, Bernie, as he prefers to be called, has fostered wellness practices for countless patients and students through the decades. His pioneer work in the biochemistry of emotion enlightened peer physicians, patients and family members alike. Bernie was among the first to bring healing music to the operating room, to give directions to his patients while they were under anesthesia during surgery, and to use hypnosis as an alternative to anesthesia for minor surgery. As a self-proclaimed mystic, he has sought answers about the vast issues of wellness and brought his wisdom with hope for healing all facing serious illness. His followers learned that when death is imminent to honor the passage with grace.
Among Bernie’s teachings is the idea that we can talk to our body. Pose loving, warm-hearted words and they will be heard. Offer suggestions, make requests, discuss anything on your mind. Ask your body to heal. To repair cells. To release illness. To be content with healthy food choices and to join gladly in an exercise plan. Your body is in communion or oneness with your mind and spirit. All are related. When your mind is peaceful, your body responds in kind. A mind in chaos echoes that distress to your body. We cannot escape the connection. I love the practice of thanking my body. Sharing my gratitude. Each night I say a big thank you for all the gifts my body has given. On occasion we may want to talk over forgiveness with our body. To let it know that we have ignored positive care-giving either briefly or for an extended time. Bodies can be forgiving. Sometimes we can start over. Other times an illness has already taken hold.
Bernie asks us to be still and listen. Do this daily. Listen to your inner voice. Note the messages. Convey what is relevant to your body and live the rest. If you hear messages that ask for rest, do so. If you hear that movement is needed, get up and dance. There are no secrets in a dialogue with your body. Share anything you wish. Reassure your body that you will care for it. Bernie talks about love as being an important part of all healing. Use loving sentiments and kind tones. Your body has carried you to the highs and lows of your life. It is a companion that shares every step. Your thoughts, your emotion and your spiritual musings harmonize with the physicality that you are. The structure that holds your heartbeat and your very breath itself welcomes every pledge. Reach out with words of praise, of grace, of hope, of woe and with an endearing essence of love as you engrave your truth and your vision for life in your body. Conversations of grace….
