This is Part 3 of a series of writings on aligning the body systems into an awareness of wholeness that allows for informed choices aligned with our natural rhythms. Created for the new year, it is also an excellent activity anytime life needs a reset button. If you missed Part 1 you can find it here. Part 2 is here.
Hello Friend,
My heart speaks of discovering the nature of who we are when we begin to listen.
When we connect with the parts of ourselves that have a need we enact the flame of healing. We entered into a conversation with ourselves that has been going on all this time, we just failed to notice.
As with most things the first time we do them we aren’t always as proficient as we would like to be. If the practice of finding the needs of the body didn’t feel complete then start the process over again. Ask the quiet voice of the body to welcome you inward to sit by the fire and hear the tale need. Be willing to be wrong, the worst that can happen is you care for yourself until you don’t need to anymore.
Today we are going to take the valuable information we’ve gathered and use it to create a few phrases to guide us forward from this point onward.
First, gather the list of needs created and take a moment to find a key word for each sentence or phrase written. If you only wrote one word than that’s your answer.
I utilized a highlighter and selected words that seemed to hold the essence of what my body was trying to instruct me towards.
Second, after circling or highlighting these key words, create a square again and list just those words in each quadrant for each body level. Do you see patterns? An underlying theme will present itself after you’ve listed them out and can view them as a whole.
This is the overall message we have been searching for to create the new rhythm in life through the act of being with our nature.
Write the theme down using the words from your collection that is meaningful and connected to the spirit of your nature. Make it snappy or fun or basic or create an acronym. Whatever you do just make it so you can remember it. (I’ve included an example of mine below👇)
When we can ask ourselves if a choice reflects our rhythm the answers come more clearly into view. Knowing our rhythms are also excellent for keeping us honest with ourselves.
When our rhythm is consider making choices that accumulate life debt (energetically or monetarily) take on a new meaning. Daily living impacts the body systems. Let us use our new found gift of knowledge to align with the rhythms starting now.
My example: I had a few words that were repeated multiple times, one word 5 times. I took these words and started playing with them until suddenly I had an acronym that is also symbolic of the activity I want to do more of this year.
My rhythm for 2025 is B.E.N.D.
Building In Beauty
Earth Simple
Naturally Created
Dedicated Devotion
Let the presence of this knowledge lead to brighter beginnings, informed decisions, new awakenings.
Sending you Love and Light in our new year together,
Leah 💕
P.S. If you’re a fan of vision boarding look for an additional step to this process soon. I will show you how I get it done with intention for the new rhythm.
I’m doing parts 1 through 3 today. This is so luscious and organic. I really don’t spend a lot of time on Substack but I’m so glad that I stumbled on your writings! 🙏🏽
