🌿 When It Doesn’t Line Up: Listening to the Body’s Inner Wisdom 🌿

Have you ever been in a moment where someone’s words sounded right, but something deep inside you whispered no?

Maybe a belief you were taught no longer sits well in your spirit.Maybe you're in a relationship or a room or a religion and something just doesn’t line up.

That internal tug — that discomfort, that subtle contraction — isn’t a flaw.It’s your sacred inner compass.It’s your body speaking in the language of truth.

🌀 What Is Incongruence?

Incongruence is when what’s on the surface doesn’t match what’s underneath.

Someone says they love you… but your chest tightens.You say yes to a request… but your gut churns.You hear a sermon or a social post… and feel a flash of heat behind your eyes.

These aren’t random reactions.They’re signals.

They’re the body’s way of saying,“Something here doesn’t match what’s true for me.”

🔥 Triggers Are Teachers

We’ve been taught to push away discomfort.To silence it. To “get over it.”But in reality — discomfort is information.

Triggers aren’t just wounds — they’re windows.

They show us where we haven’t been seen.Where a boundary was crossed.Where a belief is outdated.Where something real inside of us is crying out to be noticed, healed, or honored.

Instead of judging our triggers, what if we got curious?What if we thanked them for trying to keep us safe?

💬 The Body Always Tells the Truth

The body speaks before the brain catches up.

✨ A racing heart can signal fear or truth or both.✨ A lump in the throat can mean “I’ve silenced myself too long.”✨ Butterflies might mean excitement… or anxiety wearing a pretty dress.✨ Numbness might be your nervous system going offline to protect you.

We don’t need to decode it perfectly.We just need to listen.

Our culture worships logic — but the soul lives in the body.And the body doesn’t lie.

🌱 Why Awareness Matters

Becoming aware of what doesn’t line up is the first step in reclaiming your wholeness.It’s how we stop abandoning ourselves.It’s how we begin choosing relationships, beliefs, and environments that honor who we really are.

Awareness is a sacred disruption.It clears space for alignment, embodiment, and truth.And that’s where our deepest power lives.

🧘‍♀️ How to Begin Listening

Here are a few gentle practices to help you start:

🔹 Pause. When something feels off, stop and breathe.

🔹 Notice. Where do you feel it in your body? What sensations arise?

🔹 Name it. “I feel tightness.” “I feel heat.” “I feel resistance.”

🔹 Ask. “What is this sensation trying to show me?”

🔹 Honor it. Even if you don’t act on it yet — trust that it’s sacred.

💖 Reflection Questions:

🌀 What’s something recently that felt off — even if you couldn’t explain why?

🌀 How does your body usually communicate with you when something’s not right?

🌀 In what ways have you learned to override your inner knowing — and what would it look like to stop?

🌟 Empowering Truth Statement:

Your body is not betraying you — it’s guiding you home.What doesn’t line up is not your fault. It’s your awakening.
