The Wisdom of the Body

This book begins with a radical and transformative premise: the body is never the enemy. Every sensation, every emotion, and every symptom, no matter how uncomfortable or disruptive, is a form of intelligent communication. It is a message from a deeply wise, self-regulating system that is fundamentally oriented not toward failure, but toward survival, balance, and healing. The tightness in the chest, the ache in the back, the flutter of anxiety in the stomach are not signs of a system gone haywire; they are signals from a system actively trying to protect and guide us.
The problem is not that the body is failing, but that we have forgotten how to listen. We have been taught to ignore, suppress, or medicate these signals, effectively silencing the most profound source of wisdom we possess.
