Your body has 37 trillion cells of wisdom. Your doctor has a prescription pad. Choose wisely.
Something happened to me this morning during my sunrise meditation—one of my cats, Remedy, climbed into my lap, and in that moment, I understood something profound about body intuition healing.
The body is always communicating. Always. Every ache, every twinge, every mysterious sensation is a message. The question is: are you listening? Or is someone with a medical degree talking over it?
Your Body Knows Things
Here’s what I learned in my practice—back when I had a traditional practice, before I realized the system was too limiting—your body has an innate wisdom that no amount of medical school can replicate.
When you feel tired, your body is telling you something. Similarly, when you feel achy, your body is telling you something. And when you feel an inexplicable urge to avoid your annual checkup, that’s your body telling you something too. Something important.
What is it saying? I can’t tell you. Only your body can tell you. However, I can tell you that it’s probably not what your doctor thinks.
The Medical Establishment Doesn’t Want You To Listen
Think about how a typical doctor’s appointment works. First, you sit in a waiting room, surrounded by sick people and old magazines, absorbing their energy. Then someone weighs you, which immediately makes you feel judged. After that, you wait in another room, anxious, until a person in a white coat spends seven minutes telling you what’s wrong with you.
Seven minutes. Your body has been sending you messages for years. And yet, they summarize it in seven minutes. Does that seem right to you?
When I was practicing in Ohio—before I moved to Sedona to be closer to the energy vortexes—I spent time with my patients. Real time. I asked what their body was saying. As I discussed in my piece about trusting your gut, this approach was eventually deemed “outside standard of care.” But that’s a different story.
Body Intuition Healing In Practice
Here’s how body intuition healing works: You quiet the mind. Then you feel the body. Next, you ask it what it needs. And finally, you trust the answer, even if—especially if—it contradicts what medical professionals have told you.
Your body might say it needs rest. Alternatively, it might say it needs movement. It might say it needs supplements that cost more than what insurance covers. Furthermore, it might say it definitely doesn’t need that prescription your doctor insists on.
Who are you going to trust? The body you’ve lived in your whole life, or someone who met you twenty minutes ago?
The Critics
Now, some people will say, “Dr. Sharpe, aren’t you just encouraging people to ignore potentially serious medical conditions?” And to them I say: I’m not encouraging anything. Instead, I’m just asking questions. I’m just inviting people to tune in. What they do with that information is between them and their 37 trillion cells.
If those cells are wrong, that’s not on me. I’m just the messenger. The wellness guide. The woman in Sedona with three cats who really, truly believes that the body knows best.
Namaste, And Stay Vigilant
Your body is talking to you right now. Can you hear it? Probably not, because you’re reading this on a device that emits frequencies I have concerns about. Nevertheless, try. Sit quietly. Breathe. Ask your body what it needs.
And if it says “go to the doctor,” well, that’s your journey. I won’t judge. But I will suggest you get a second opinion. From your body. Again.
Trust the wisdom within. Question everything else.
