Mind Body Connection: How to Listen to What Your Body Is Telling You, with Andrew Scheim

Shoulders tighten, your stomach knots, sleep stops feeling like rest. Most of us were never taught to read these signals. If you want the mind body connection explained in plain language, this conversation is for you.

Andrew Scheim shares how different wellness traditions view the body, the nervous system and emotions, and gentle ways to begin listening.

About the Guest:
Andrew Scheim is an integrative wellness educator and advanced bodywork practitioner. His work explores the body, the nervous system and emotional well-being, drawing on naturopathy, Chinese medicine and somatic approaches.

Key Takeaways:

• Tension, fatigue and discomfort are worth noticing, not just pushing through.
• Different traditions offer different languages for listening to the body. Find one that makes sense to you.
• Gentle rhythmic movement, such as rocking, rebounding or walking, can help the body feel safe.
• Go slowly, and add a sense of safety to any practice that stirs strong feelings.
• Start small: notice when your breathing changes or your body tightens.
