Body wisdom

Body wisdom is the name given to the intuitive knowledge the body carries. The body often senses a situation before the mind is even aware of it; it responds as a tension or a drawing back. Somatic approaches see this bodily intuition not as a noise to be ignored but as knowledge worth listening to. Body wisdom accepts that decisions and intuitions arise not only in the mind but in the body too. A person who listens to their body often reaches a knowledge they cannot yet name.
