"Your body is not the enemy."

How will you know?

Ask your body.

She always tells the truth.

A mini-test to determine whether your position is your passion:

Stand up in the center of your room, your space.  Take a deep breath—all the way to the bottom of your abdomen, then purse your lips and exhale slowly in an “O” until every molecule of air leaves your body.

1) Think of your job, work, profession.

2) Move with the thought.

3) Observe your movement, your dance.

Write down your impressions and how your body felt, preferably in your Body Knowledge Journal.

Place the date on the page, because you’ll want to refer back to your impressions later in your practice of the Body Knowledge System.

Hi my name is Stephanie Wood and I would like to welcome you to my blog. I will be posting about your body. Not just the physical, but about self care, listening to your inner voice, making great decisions, and how your body works with you in your work, life, and play.

When we practice Body Knowledge, we dance! That’s right, we practice our dance…and we dance our practice! Body Knowledge(r) is all about you and your partner for life, your body.

Your body is your partner for life. Whether fat, thin, chubby, lean, lumpy, dumpy, plumpy, baby fat, rolly polly, or skinny minny—regardless of the shape you are in, regardless of the shape she is in—you are in it together.

From the day you were born, from the first scream in the delivery room, you had a partner for life. She is also your partner in the practice of Body Knowledge(R). In fact, she is your perfect partner in the dance of life, and the dance of Body Knowledge System(R).

And when, as partners, you move together, you dance.

And when you dance with your body as your partner, you communicate with each other.

And when you communicate with each other, you dance through your life.

The final step in your dance, is applying what you’ve learned to your daily activities.

Body Knowledge is not restricted to eating and exercise. Body Knowledge is relevant to your work, play, daily routine, your environment, health, and the events that take you out of your routine.

Do you have a question that you would like to ask about this post or your body? Go ahead. All questions and comments are welcome.
