The Whisper, Nudge or Roar - Messages From the Subtle Body

There’s a timeless insight that’s been passed down through generations, rooted in the ancient Chinese text, the Tao Te Ching, attributed to Lao Tzu…

“If you’re off by a hair’s breadth in the beginning, you’ll be off by a thousand miles in the end.”

This is the essence of wisdom that sits at the heart of our upcoming retreat in Guatemala, where we’ll be diving deep into the wisdom of subtle body through yoga, breath work, dream tending, plant spirit meditation, ceremony & ritual.

It may seem subtle, even inconsequential… but even the slightest misalignment within ourselves can ripple outward over time and manifest in a variety of unpleasant ways…

Depression, disease, chronic health issues, relationship struggles, nightmares, you name it…

Think about it… in a relationship, a minor point of disagreement or conflict, when left unaddressed, can compound with other issues over time, eventually causing major relationship struggles leading a couple to drift completely apart.

With your health… a series of small, poor choices repeated over and over can lead to severe health problems years down the road.

When engineering or building… a small miscalculation in a blueprint can lead to a structural failure on a massive scale.

James Clear also speaks to this concept in his book Atomic Habits, “A very small shift in direction can lead to a very meaningful change in destination.”

This is why it’s so important to create space to tend to the subtle body…

To listen to those deeper currents that live inside… that speak volume in whispers.

If we don’t listen to the whispers…

we will receive a nudge…

then a push…

then a shove…

& then a Roar.

By the time something reaches the level of a shove… or worse, a roar…

It can take much longer to unwind, to recalibrate and find our way back.

And sometimes, the damage may be irreversible.

The earlier we listen, the gentler the guidance.

The sooner we respond, the more ease we invite into the process of realignment.

So let’s listen to those whispers before they get louder…

Let’s listen to the messages we receive from our body, heart, mind, dreams, plant allies and elementals… they are here for a reason.

They are guiding us to be in right relationship with ourselves, with spirit and the great web of all things.

Are you willing to listen?
