✨Body Messages Series ✨
The Body Messages Series this evening is looking at digestion,
specifically women who have issues with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
~~~ What messages is your body trying to send you?~~~
IBS can be influenced by many things........food, gut sensitivity ,hormones,
stress and the nervous system.
From a body- based perspective digestive symptoms an sometimes invite us to pause and notice what we may be holding on to, struggling to process, or finding
hard to let go of.
Your body isn't failing you.
Its asking for attention, safety and support.
💞A few reflective questions you may consider.....💞
What is my gut trying to tell me......
just take a minute, close your eyes, take 3 intentional breaths......relax x.......What has been difficult for me to process lately?.......Where in my life do i feel 'on edge'?........Am i holding in emotions that i haven't had space to express?........Do i give myself enough time to rest, or am i constantly pushing through?.......What would feeling safe, supported and settled look like for me?
you don't need to answer straight away.
I find sometimes just one statement will resonate, and you might just need to be aware of it.......
💫IBS and your Nervous System...........
Did you know your gut and your nervous system are constantly communicating?......When we experience ongoing stress, the body can move into a heightened state of alert.
For some people, this can effect digestion and make existing gut symptoms feel
more noticeable...........including bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation,
or diarrhoea.
This is part of the gut-brain connection.
to help shift the body out of 'fight/flight', you can try.....
✨Slow breathing,
✨gently movement,
✨rest,
✨regular meals,
✨creating moments of calm,
✨listening to what the body needs.
