Grounded Healing & Integration Series – Chapter 11

 


The Body Doesn’t Lie

We often ignore the body. Especially in times of busyness, emotional suppression, and mental exhaustion, we habitually “push through,” forcing ourselves to keep going—until the body speaks through pain, fatigue, fever, insomnia, or hormonal imbalance.

There was a time I had chest tightness and couldn’t sleep. Doctors found no cause. One night, I finally paused and asked my body: “What are you trying to tell me?”
The answer was strikingly clear: “I’m exhausted.”
I wept uncontrollably. I realized I had been overpowering my emotions with willpower, masking my inner cry for help with the idea that I had to be strong.

The body never lies.
It faithfully holds every swallowed feeling, every unspoken “no,” every time you abandoned your own needs.

When we return to the body—to feel it, trust it, and connect without judgment—we return to truth in the present moment.
Healing is not instant, but built through small practices: deep breathing, feeling your feet, slowing down, and listening to the pain—not just trying to erase it.

The body is not your enemy. It is the doorway to healing.
Every symptom is your soul knocking: “Please listen.”
