There’s a quiet conversation happening inside you right now.
Not a thought. Not a feeling. Something more subtle—like a flicker in your gut, a hum in your chest, a tug behind your eyes.
We’re taught to ignore these signals.
To override our instincts.
To keep going when we’re exhausted.
To scroll when we feel lonely.
To numb instead of notice.
But here’s the truth I wish someone had told me years ago:
Your body has an electrical language—and it’s always speaking to you.
Electricity isn’t just in wires—it’s in you.
We tend to think of the body in mechanical terms: bones, muscles, blood, hormones. But beneath all that is something far more dynamic—electricity.
Every heartbeat, every nerve impulse, every emotion is powered by electrical signals.
Your cells are literally buzzing with voltage.
Your heart generates an electromagnetic field that radiates several feet beyond your body.
What does this mean?
It means you are not just a physical being—you are an energetic one.
And like all energy systems, your body speaks in signals.
These signals aren’t always loud.
They don’t shout.
They whisper.
And often, they whisper through discomfort:
That tightness in your neck after a stressful call?
That foggy head after too much sugar?
That heavy heart you carry but can’t explain?
These aren’t glitches.
They’re feedback loops.
Messages from your internal electrical system are trying to recalibrate. Trying to say: “Pay attention.”
Why we’ve forgotten how to listen.
Modern life runs on speed, noise, and distraction.
We live above the neck—overanalyzing, second-guessing, scrolling.
We outsource authority to experts and apps, but rarely pause to ask the one system that always knows: our body.
We treat symptoms, not signals.
We suppress what we feel instead of translating what it means.
But what if pain wasn’t a punishment, but a message?
What if fatigue wasn’t failure, but feedback?
The moment it changed for me.
Learning to meditate enabled me to realize the power of my body: Not by powering through—but by listening. Not by doing more—but by feeling more.
Today, I don’t treat discomfort like failure.
I treat it like a flicker in the wiring.
A message. An invitation to listen.
The subtle art of inner listening.
To listen to your body’s energy signals is practical.
Here’s how it starts:
1. Stillness is a tuning fork.
Get still. Close your eyes. Breathe.
Where does your attention land?
That’s where your signal is strongest.
2. Notice without naming.
Instead of labeling everything “anxiety” or “pain,” ask:
“What are you trying to tell me?”
3. Trust the flicker.
The whisper in your belly.
The contraction in your chest.
The goosebumps on your skin.
These are your inner GPS cues.
4. Release the need to fix.
Listening isn’t about control.
It’s about connection.
Try This: Tune Into Your Inner Flow
Take a quiet moment. Sit comfortably, breathe gently, and bring your attention inward.
Ask yourself:
>> How does my body feel today—light or heavy, tense or open?
>> Are there areas that feel stuck, tight, or low in energy?
>> What’s one small thing I’ve done today (or could do) to support my energy flow?
You don’t need to fix anything—just notice.
This simple act of awareness is a step toward restoring balance.
Your body is always speaking. The more you listen, the clearer its guidance becomes.
