She cursed her stomach. She saw it as a weakness.
She wanted her stomach fixed. Her mind was full of ways I might help her toughen up her wimpy tummy. Could we train it to not react to her emotions? Could we trick it in some way to not flare up?
I couldn’t help her fix her stomach because it wasn’t broken. What if, on the contrary, her stomach was the healthiest, wisest guide she had?
What if her sensitive stomach was her greatest asset?
Her sensitive stomach showed her one thing, always: That she was using her incredible gift of Thought, her conceptual mind, her sharp intellect, in a way that wasn’t serving her in that very moment.
Without feedback, then what? We’d go through life unbelievably limited, living as if our fluid, always-changing ideas and concepts are truth. Feeling weighed down and boxed in by barriers that truly don’t exist outside of our imagination.
You’d take the sensitive tummy too, wouldn’t you? You’d take the low mood, lack of energy, heart palpitations, ulcers, hives. They are your greatest assets if you can back up a bit to see them for what they are.
