Sending Love to the Uncomfortable Parts of Your Body.
Sending Love to the Uncomfortable Parts of Your Body.
Sometimes the parts of our body that feel uncomfortable are holding deep stories, emotions, or memories. One simple but powerful practice is to gently place your hands on that area and send it love. Recently, I placed my hands on my stomach and just listened. As I sat quietly, I started to hear: “We are not protected.” Then came: “It feels so heavy.” Next: “It’s so dark.” After that, I saw the age 2. Then, my grandmother came to mind. After that, I set the intention to let go of anything I could let go of. After this experience, it felt like I was receiving a Reiki session — that same feeling of energy moving and shifting around my body. I could sense things clearing, softening. I felt lighter afterwards. Later, when I had my lunch, I noticed something really interesting — after finishing my first wrap, I genuinely felt full. There was no urge to go for seconds. It was as if a natural “fullness” switch had turned back on.
Try It for Yourself – Simple Steps:
Find a quiet moment where you won’t be disturbed, and sit or lie down comfortably. Take a few deep breaths to settle into your body. Notice where you feel discomfort — it could be physical tension, heaviness, or just a spot that feels “off.” Gently place your hands on that area. Set a simple intention: “I’m sending love to this part of me.” Be still and listen. You might feel emotions, hear words, see images, or just feel warmth — or maybe nothing at all. Whatever happens is perfect. Stay with it for a few minutes. Just keep offering love, without trying to fix or change anything. Afterwards, take note of how you feel — physically, emotionally, or even around things like appetite, mood, or clarity.
Why This Works — Perspectives to Reflect On:
From a Heart and Love Perspective: When we send love to the parts of ourselves that feel uncomfortable, we are bringing light to where there was once fear or neglect. Love doesn’t judge or rush — it simply holds. By meeting ourselves with compassion, we soften inner resistance and create space for healing. Love truly is the most intelligent and transformative force we can offer ourselves.
From a Psychotherapy Perspective: Our body holds memory — not just cognitive memory, but emotional and somatic memory. Uncomfortable sensations can be linked to unprocessed emotions, early childhood experiences, or trauma. By bringing awareness and kindness to these places, we begin to “re-parent” ourselves, offering what may not have been available at the time. This process mirrors inner child work and somatic therapy, where safety, presence, and attunement are key to healing.
From a Quantum Science Perspective: At a quantum level, everything is energy — including our thoughts, emotions, and physical body. When we focus loving intention on a part of the body, we are shifting the vibrational frequency of that area. Studies in quantum physics and consciousness suggest that focused attention can influence matter and energy patterns. So when we offer love with intention, we’re not only changing our internal state — we may also be affecting our energetic field in real, measurable ways.
It’s incredible how much healing can happen just by being still and offering love to the places that need it most. Try this gentle practice — and see what unfolds.
Lots of Love as always,
