Somehow in our modern culture it is easy to forget how fabulous it feels to take good care of ourselves. With our amazing medical advances and barrage of media messages, we often think of health care as something someone else does to us and of well-being and beauty as coming from outside of ourselves. It is so tempting to respect so-called "authorities" on diet and exercise above our own body wisdom.

But when you connect to your body's wisdom, when you tune into and trust your soul-in-the-body-knowing, you will be guided to the daily practices and habits that you need for health and healing.

So, now, take a few easy, softening breaths and ask yourself the following questions. As you do, listen to your body wisdom. Sense for a response from your own deep soul-in-the-body-knowing.

* What helps your body feel its best?

* What makes you feel more alive, more energized, more relaxed and more happy?

* What ways of moving, eating, playing, resting, creating and interacting are your ways to say Yes! to your particular life, in your body, just as you are?
