If you find yourself living in your head more than you'd like, start paying attention to your sensations. Bring more awareness to your body. Notice what is there, and experience it. Distributing your consciousness more evenly throughout your body & mind gives you a more accurate perception of reality, and helps you create the life you desire.

I find that when I do this regularly, I feel much more connected to myself and to the world around me. I notice a cool breeze on my face, I stay connected to my own hunger and thirst, and I feel much more pleasure inside of my yoni. I also am more aware of when I am doing something that is not healthy for me (like sitting for extended periods of time). It can be so easy to live in our heads, disconnected from our bodies, but there is the potential for so much more connection & pleasure if we choose to spend more time in our bodies.

If you are not used to describing your sensations, it can be helpful to have a list to refer to. I compiled this list based on the most common sensations that I experience in my own life and in my sessions with clients. I hope this helps you come into deeper connection with your sensational experience of the world!

To your inner balance,
