The body remembers what the system forgets

Reclaiming the wisdom within. From disease to ease.

Hi dear one.

There’s a reason they try to make us forget.

Forget the rhythms. Forget the symptoms. Forget what it feels like to truly feel. Forget that the body is always whispering, and sometimes screaming, the truth. I have certainly heard mine scream, before I started to listen. Because when we forget, we stop trusting ourselves. And when we stop trusting ourselves, we quietly hand over our power.

I’m not interested in doing that.

Somewhere along the way, we were taught that health lives outside of us. That answers come from a prescription pad. That someone else knows better about our bodies than we do. We were trained to outsource responsibility, intuition, and authority.

But your body knows. It always has.

That quiet inner voice that says, “This doesn’t feel right” isn’t fear or paranoia. It’s intelligence. It’s your gut speaking. And notice how often that voice is dismissed, overridden, or medicated away.

We were never meant to be strangers in our own skin. We were meant to live in our bodies, to inhabit them fully, to listen, to respond, and to adjust. Becoming your own doctor isn’t arrogance. It’s remembering. It’s a return to knowing what nourishes you, what drains you, what strengthens you, and what slowly erodes you.

No algorithm can tell you that. No guideline knows your body like you do, when we learn and know how to listen.

Big Pharma doesn’t operate in wholeness. It operates in management. Symptoms are isolated. The body is fragmented. Healing is reduced to compliance. Pills don’t ask why something is happening. They just make sure you don’t feel it as loudly.

This isn’t about demonising medicine. There are moments when pharmaceuticals save lives. But we’ve crossed a line where medicine no longer supports the body. It overrides it. And when suppression becomes the default, disconnection sadly follows.

The body has its own intelligence. A deep, ancient, self-regulating wisdom. But that kind of autonomy doesn’t fit well inside a very profit driven system. A person who trusts their body asks inconvenient questions. A person who listens to their gut doesn’t blindly comply. A person who understands cause and effect doesn’t become a lifelong customer.

Then there’s the part rarely spoken about honestly, side effects and dependency.

You take one pill to help you sleep. Another to help you wake up. One to calm anxiety. Another to counter the digestive issues the first one caused. Slowly, subtly, dependency forms. Not because you’re weak, but because the system is designed that way.

Many medications don’t heal. They suppress. They quiet signals that were never the problem to begin with. They interrupt communication between body and mind. They dull sensation. Over time, people forget what it even feels like to be well. Not sick, not medicated, just well.

This is how dis - ease becomes normalised. Managed instead of resolved. And once the body’s voice is muted long enough, people stop listening altogether.

Health isn’t just physical. It’s freedom.

It’s the freedom to trust your gut feeling, the one that never lies. The freedom to rest when your body asks for rest, not when society allows it. The freedom to say no to something that feels wrong, even if it’s widely accepted.

True health is a relationship with the body built on trust, not control. It’s spiritual. It’s emotional. Because a person who knows themselves is harder to manipulate.

Symptoms are not the enemy. They are your body that is trying to tell you something is out of balance.

We’ve been conditioned to silence everything. Headache, pill. Bloating, suppress. Anxiety, medicate. Exhaustion, caffeine. But the body isn’t trying to sabotage your life. It’s trying to get your attention.

The real question is never “How do I get rid of this?”
The real question is “What is my body trying to tell me?”

That shift alone changes everything.

This path back to the body isn’t instant. It’s slow. It’s layered. It requires unlearning, patience, and sometimes discomfort. And yes sometimes it feels like hard work. You’ll try things that don’t work. You’ll misread signals. That’s part of remembering.

But over time, the body starts to feel like home again. Not something to fix. Not something to battle. Just something to live in and be very grateful for.

This is the great return.
To yourself.
To truth.
To ease.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s magically brilliant. You don’t need to be fixed. You need to listen, to trust and remember.

And that, in itself, is an act of resistance.

Until next time, stay grateful and curious.
