The body feels thoughts and emotions before they are cognized by the mind. By becoming more aware of sensations and what they might be signaling, we can attune to what the body is offering more in the moment and less after they have had an opportunity to build.
Mindfulness of the body allows for a kind attending to the body, mind and the heart that all coalesce as one, offering a variety of ways to take better care of ourselves and our past with kindness.
