How good is your GPS? Is it reliable? Tell you everything you need to know? Get you where you want to be, accounting for jams, diversions, and side routes?
Did you know that you have an in-built GPS situated deep within you that you can access and use any time, not only as a guidance system but also an early warning system?
We are thinking beings. Anyone who has ever sat on a cushion to try and meditate will be only too aware of how the thoughts 'just keep a comin’. Whenever we are stuck, the default is to think our way through.
But we are much more than thinking beings.
A recent post from natacha wilson asked about sources of wisdom. Many people opted for sources on the outside, not recognising the value of the sources on the inside.
The body in many ancient and indigenous traditions is its own source of wisdom. By combining intellect with emotional, biological, neurological and the sensation of feeling, we can arrive at a far wiser place. The body delivers the route map.
And this, relying on more than one system, has to and does bring far more wisdom than the thinking default.
And for a SIM card, (to stick with this somewhat stretched analogy) think of Somatic Coaching as the card that will power up that GPS!
When was the last time you paid mindful attention to what your own inner wisdom was telling you?
