Love this. We are so conditioned to ignore the sensation and feelings within us. Since I gave up diets and embraced intuitive eating, I had to do real work to reconnect with my body. I'm still far from where I want to be with it, but I'm also much much better than I was a year ago. It had not occurred to me that this connection would be a useful skill when it comes to spending, but it makes sense. It definitely feels like a useful skill in talking about money, since it's often a trigger for most people.
What does your body have to tell you about money?

Body first, mind next - as my somatic therapist defines it. The body holds the wisdom that the analytical mind tries to discern.
