What to Do When Your Body is Having a Visceral Reaction
Oh no, it’s happening again. Your palms are sweating, your heart is racing, and there is this massive pit in your stomach. You can feel the words rising up within you…like they’re going to gush out of you whether you want them to or not. How do you stop it? How do you make your body settle? And keep your mouth shut cause you really don’t want to share what’s coming through even though your body says otherwise.
Oh Starbeam, take a breath with me. Allowing that unsettled feeling to ebb and open to this truth…you are not the only one who feels this way.
My body speaks to me too. And on today’s episode of the Devoted Way podcast, I’m sharing my own journey of honoring my body in these moments.
It can be so easy to want to just ignore these visceral reactions, can’t it? Feeling like if you can just stuff them down a little further you can pretend like they aren’t even real. Okay, maybe I should say it’s tempting to want to ignore these reactions — cause we all know it’s not easy to ignore them, right? It’s like the more you try to stuff them down the louder they get. Yeah, totally.
And remember, you will have your own way of moving through your visceral reactions, but there is something magical that happens when you release the narrative that you are the only one experiencing these loud and unsettling feelings. You may find that as you listen to today’s episode you soften, you open, your curiosity is sparked, you cry, you laugh or maybe you see something you have never really noticed before.
That is the beauty of walking through life together. Of letting others in. Of revealing the realness of you and your human experience. I am honored to be on this journey with you.
