The Art of Body Listening: Beyond the Numbers Game
We live in an age obsessed with metrics. Sugar intake,
protein grams, micronutrient percentages — we measure everything, believing
precision equals health.
But here’s a deeper truth hidden in plain sight:
Maya means measuring, and it's all
maya.
An illusion that often distracts us from the wisdom our own body offers.
The flaw? Assuming what works for one will work for all.
Even within the same person, needs shift
- with age, weather, emotions, movement, and environment.
No tracker or chart can keep up with these subtle shifts.
But our body can.
It's always communicating through sensations, sleep, mood,
energy.
The question is: Are you listening?
I ignored my body's first nudge about ghee, a subtle discomfort.
A few days later, it turned into a throat infection.
Same with bananas. When I finally paid attention and paused both, my health
returned to balance.
This isn't about demonizing specific foods or abandoning
nutritional knowledge. It's about remembering that your body holds wisdom no
external measurement can capture. Those sensations after eating, changes in
energy, sleep quality, mood shifts – these are your body's real-time feedback
system.
Instead of just measuring what goes in, trust the intelligence
that has kept humans thriving long before we had nutrition labels. Your body
knows what it needs, when it needs it, and in what quantity. The art lies in
listening closely enough to hear its quiet wisdom.
All it takes is a moment of presence.
Your body is already speaking.
Listen.
