How To Get Back In Touch With Your Body
Our mind and body are intertwined, but we don’t always recognize this connection. Elizabeth Cush, host of Woman Worriers, explains why it’s important to get in touch with your body and how to hear what it’s trying to tell you.
“Healing comes from tuning in. Healing comes from befriending our experience moment to moment.”
