Question No.1

When you think about your body... Is your first impulse to feel appreciation for it?

Or do you judge yourself and mostly notice things you want to change?

Don't think too hard, go with your first instinct.

When you engage in a typical daily activity...  Are you more likely to trust that you know what you are doing?  Or do you feel fearful about the outcome?

When a stressful situation arises... Do you calmly and clearly problem-solve the issue, the way you might talk it over with a friend?  Or are you more likely to get confused and anxious?

When your body’s natural needs and urges arise for sleep, food, fluids, sex, and elimination...

 Do you feel at peace with those needs?  Or are you at odds or in conflict with your body?

When you are stepping into something new in your life...Do you feel supported by your body? 

Or do you feel it betrays you by putting the brakes on?

When your body has physical issues and/or you become ill... Do you have clarity and understanding about the nature of those issues?  Or do you feel confused and unsure about their origins?

When you slow down and turn your attention inward... Do you feel deeply connected to your body and its needs? Or do you feel detached, as though you are watching someone else?

When someone tells you something about yourself... Do you trust your own inner reflections and what you know to be true?  Or do you automatically accept what they have said because you do not know what is true for yourself?

When you are in action, thinking and doing in your world... Are you in easy partnership with your body?  Or do you see your body as something you have to control — masterfully riding it until it does what you want?
