Message
• I'll urge you to become an apprentice of listening
to your internal world if you're looking improve
yourself, your health, relationships, career, all of
it, this year. When we can tune in to our inner
workings ... and I don't mean your thoughts .... I
mean your biology and how your gut talks to you
and how you navigate your stress physiology ...
and your fight, flight, freeze reactions (actions) ...
the deep cellular stuff that drives EVERYTHING
else .... when you can master THIS you'll master
ANYTHING you want. - Irene Lyon

Editor's Notes

  • #2 I was listening to Sadhguru’s in conversation with Karan Johar. He said that we have been given a body, a complex system but never attempt to read it. If we are able to connect to our body and to read it, many of our health issues will get sorted out.
