MOUTH - The Gateway For Nourishment and Expression

Welcome to my body-wisdom blog. Each day I have picked a body-wisdom card from my forthcoming book "Suzy Prudden's Body Wisdom Book and Cards." Like a Tarot card, Body Wisdom gives you suggestions for the issues of the day and an affirmation to facilitate moving beyond those issues.

MOUTH

The Mouth Is The Gateway For Nourishment And Expression.

Life issues for the Mouth include whether or not you are able to express yourself in ways that can be plainly understood, whether you are willing to express yourself at all. Whether you are willing to accept nourishment in all areas of your life. With the exception of air, all nourishment passes through the mouth before it can get anywhere else.

AFFIRMATIONS FOR MOUTH ISSUES

(These are to be used if you have health issues regarding the mouth and whether these health issues involve failure to express what needs to be said, or failure to accept nourishment in the way of healthy food and drink that affects your other body parts.)

It's Now Okay To Nourish And Express Myself Safely And Effectively.

MOUTH

Your Mouth is the gateway for nourishment and expression. Problems with the mouth concern whether you are able to effectively express what is going on in your mind, for without that expression stress builds up inside your body that is often expressed with mouth problems. The mouth contains the teeth which break down ideas, and start the process of digestion which disperses nourishment to all parts of your body. Your gums, which are also part of your mouth, support the break down of ideas which could not happen without the ability to break down even the most difficult of ideas. And finally the mouth contains the tongue which helps in moving nourishment to the digestive tract and helps in the coordination of the expression of ideas.

When you draw the Mouth Card you are being asked to look at the two areas of nutrition and expression. Are you allowing yourself to say what needs to be said in given situations, are you allowing yourself to express your ideas in ways in which they can be clearly understood? Are you holding back from expressing your ideas and is this resulting in stress in your life? The mouth is also involved in nourishment for the whole body. Nourishment enters, is broken down and passed on to the rest of the body. Of course everything you put in your mouth isn't nourishment so the quality of what you allow into your mouth has great important as well as the process of passing it into your body. Disease of the mouth can be effected by the nourishment your feed your body as well.

To work with Mouth Issues ask your Higher Self what you need to know about how you are expressing yourself and whether you are expressing what needs to be expressed. Also ask if you are expressing yourself in ways that are easy for others to understand and if not what has to happen to facilitate that expression. How are you taking in nourishment, are you taking in foods that are not nourishing and why? Is your body responding well to the foods and nourishment you take in through your mouth? Write Your questions with your dominant hand. Write your answers with your non-dominant hand. When you have an answer, ask your Higher Self what you need to do to shift your any negatives when it comes to expression or nutrition so that you are supported in a positive way. Do not judge the answers. Do not get in your own way with doubts about your ability to do whatever comes to your mind. Simply write down what comes to you. The last question of every session should be, "What else do I need to know today?"

Your affirmation for today is, “It's now okay to nourish and express myself safely and effectively.” Write the affirmation on a 3 x 5 card. Carry it with you, rather than posting it somewhere, and read it numerous times during the day. (If you post it, it will soon become invisible to you and you will get no benefit from it.)

ELBOWS - Boundaries

Welcome to my body-wisdom blog. Each day I have picked a body-wisdom card from my forthcoming book "Suzy Prudden's Body Wisdom Book and Cards." Like a Tarot card, Body Wisdom gives you suggestions for the issues of the day and an affirmation to facilitate moving beyond those issues.

ELBOWS

Elbows Represent Boundaries.

Life issues for the Elbows are about boundaries. If you have difficulty creating boundaries that are respected by other people, you may have elbow issues. Boundaries work both ways, enough room for you, or closing off intrusion from others.

AFFIRMATIONS FOR ELBOWS ISSUES

(These are to be used if you have physical pain - like tennis elbow or arthritis - in your elbows and if you frequently experience other people disrespecting your boundaries.)

It's Now Okay To Establish and Maintain My Boundaries Easily and Effortlessly.

ELBOWS

The symbolism of elbows involves establishing boundaries. Does the character have difficulty with boundaries? Are other people constantly violating his boundaries? Is he constantly violating the boundaries of others? Is he "Elbowing in?" Elbows are also a symbol of aggression. “Elbowing your way” through a crowd is part of the English lexicon as is "Making elbow room.

When you draw the Elbow Card you are being asked to look at how you relate to boundaries, yours and the boundaries of others. Do you find that establishing boundaries is easy for you? Do you find that you have difficulty with boundaries? Do you continually encroach on the boundaries? Is that problematic? Do others encroach on your boundaries? How does that effect your relationships - romantic, professional, on the family level? Do you have difficulty verbalizing your need to have your boundaries respected? What has to happen for that to change?

To work with Elbow Issues ask your Higher Self what you need to know about how you are relating to you issues about boundaries, both the way you are experiencing the way other's are respecting your boundaries and the way others are expressing the way you respect their boundaries. Often people with boundary issues are involved in co-dependent relationships. Examine your relationship for ways in which lack of respect for your partner's boundaries leads to co-dependence. When you have an answer, ask your Higher Self what you need to do to shift your relationship with change. Do not judge the answers. Do not get in your own way with doubts about your ability to do whatever comes to your mind. Simply write down what comes to you.

Your affirmation for today is, “It's Now Okay To Establish and Maintain My Boundaries Easily and Effortlessly." Write the affirmation on a 3 x 5 card. Carry it with you, rather than posting it somewhere, and read it numerous times during the day. (If you post it, it will soon become invisible to you and you will get no benefit from it.)

BIG TOE - Follow Through on My Interests

BIG TOE

The Big Toe Represents Personal Will Combined With Follow Through.

Life issues for the Big Toe include whether or not you are following through on the things that you yourself want to do. Other areas are about how you are responding to others, this toe represents how you are responding to yourself.

BIG TOE

Your Big Toe represents your personal will and how you follow through on what you want and what you are interested in. Other personal will issues involve how you respond to others - by ignoring what you want in favor of their interests - the big toe is about following through yourself in your own interest.

When you draw the Big Toe Card you are being asked to look at whether or not you follow through with regard to your life, your work, your relationships and the things you are commitment to as they pertain to you yourself. Pay particular attention to whether you actually follow through on those areas that pertain to you. If, for example, you make or fail to make the calls that will advance your chosen work so that you sabotage your business or work. If you sabotage your relationship by not following through on things you say you're going to do and pay a personal price. Any time you fail to act on your own behalf and pay a price for failing to follow through. Even when involved with the interests of other, if you fail to do something that costs you personally, you are having difficulty with big toe issues.

To work with Big Toe Issues ask your Higher Self what you need to know about how you are following through when it comes to the things you say you are committed to in every area, and what that follow through gains you or costs you. The big toe issues affect any of the major areas of your life. If you are not following through and are paying a price for that failure, what has to happen for you get active following through going forward? Write your questions with your dominant hand. Write your answers with your non-dominant hand. When you have an answer, ask your Higher Self what you need to do to make changes in your follow up in the area that is important to you. Do not judge the answers. Do not get in your own way with doubts about your ability to do whatever comes to your mind. Simply write down what comes to you. the final question in every session should be, "What else do I have to know today?"

Your affirmation for today is, “It's now okay to leave nothing unnoticed or unfulfilled.” Write the affirmation on a 3 x 5 card.
