Conscious Body Listening

Author: Marce Ferreira

From my personal experience and through my work as a massage therapist and yoga practitioner/teacher, I have observed that insufficiently heeding our body’s sensations, actions, and reactions often leads to unnecessary physical health complaints. These, in turn, tend to give rise to emotional and mental health concerns, which further aggravate bodily issues.

I found that many potential health problems can be “nipped in the bud” by actively “listening” to our body and providing for its needs. In addition, conscious body listening can be the start of finding ways to alleviate existing health issues and — depending on the complaints — sometimes even become a means to heal them.

I also realized that unwholesome thought patterns, emotional distress, and past or ongoing trauma can cause or contribute to bodily issues. By listening to and understanding the body’s signs and behaviors in relation to these factors, we can begin to address our emotional and mental conflicts.

Over time, I identified six core questions and six body attunement domains to observe closely and consistently in order to restore an intimate connection with our bodies. This practice not only deepens our understanding of ourselves, but also give us the tools to improve our overall health, functioning, and well-being.

By using clear, non-technical language, accompanied by simple and practical suggestions and tests, I guide you through the fundamental concepts, questions, and body attunement spheres to help you achieve conscious, continuous, and moreover — effortless body listening.

In addition to the book, I’ve also included a twelve-minute body-testing video that allows you to self‑assess your current abilities and limitations by performing some gentle stretches and joint mobilizations, while “listening” to what your body has to tell you.
