Being in conversation with your body

9 Feb

How are you? How's your body? How's your breath? Take a moment before reading on to really see how you're feeling in this moment. To take a pause before everything else.

I feel like there's so much moving at the moment. Do you feel it too? I could talk to you about so much. But I'll just have to be patient and focus on what I finally chose to share with you today - our bodies.

Our connection and relationship to our body runs deep, really deep. We have so many entangled beliefs about how our body should, from society, from our parents, from the media - that we disconnect from our bodies. Particularly when it isn't doing or behaving as it "should".

The truth is our bodies are working with us all of the time, sending us messages and signals. Simply saying "hear me, listen to me."

My body is saying these things to me right now. I'm experiencing symptoms (or should we call them messages?) that I haven't before. And so I'm listening intently.

I'm speaking to my body.

I share more in this short video.

Nicola Duffell

Nicola Duffell tends to grief and soul - a grief tender and soul activist. She knows the deepest, darkest heartbreak that comes from experiencing loss and death. And still she's someone who fiercely believes in the beauty of this life. She is intimately moved by the wonder and grace of what it means to be human in this world.

Nicola dedicates her work to supporting people navigate the deep and dark waters of life. She provides a place of belonging when life gets difficult, when loss becomes unbearable and when foundations weaken. Nicola facilitates soulful programmes like Life’s Poetry. She’s interested in, and an advocate for, a different way of being, one that requires us to unlearn, one that invites you into a deeper inquiry about how we live in the world. Her first book Life’s Poetry will be published April 2026.
