What does it mean to listen to your body? — continued

Last Thursday we gave it a name: interoception — the body’s inner listening system. Today we went one layer deeper, into the felt sense — that vague, pre-verbal something that lives just beneath the surface, waiting to be heard. And when it’s quiet, it leaves you going through the motions in your own life no matter how hard you try.

Where do you feel that most?

Here’s what I want to do: I am creating a series of free B’Etzem Foundations classes around the real struggles of the women in this community. You tell me where you feel most disconnected and stuck — and I’ll show you exactly how interoception is at the root of it, what becomes possible when you start listening from the inside, and how to start doing it.

Here are some examples to spark your thinking — but don’t limit yourself to these. The more details you can give me, the more I can tailor the classes to what’s most relevant:

Marriage and intimacy — I feel disconnected during intimacy. I don’t know how to receive. I give and give and don’t know what I need.

Motherhood — I lose it with my kids and don’t see it coming. I feel touched out but guilty about it.

Emotional eating — I eat when I’m not hungry. I can’t tell when I’m full. I use food to cope but don’t know what I’m coping with.

Avodas Hashem — My davening feels empty. I go through the motions but don’t feel Hashem.

Emotional regulation — My emotions come out of nowhere. I’m always in survival mode.

Body and self image — I’m at war with my body. I ignore my signals until they’re screaming.

Femininity and identity — I’ve lost touch with who I am. I feel more like a function than a person.

Reply to this email and tell me what’s real for you. The next class is this Thursday, so I need to hear from you by tomorrow.

This week’s book recommendation: If this email resonates with you, I recommend The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. John Sarno. Dr. Sarno explores the powerful connection between repressed emotions and physical symptoms — and how giving expression to what’s inside can be the path to real healing.
