Thanks so much for mentioning SoberStack, Cecily! And huge yes to asking - and listening to - our bodies. When I used to drink, I found that alcohol not only dimmed my senses and intuition, it created the illusion of being more certain and clear. Wow am I grateful to be free of that distortion.
This is a great piece of writing! The Hoffman Process example you gave really jumped out at me as I have been doing a variation of this practice every morning since 2020. (It was an intuitive response driven by grief, loss, and the pandemic. My inner and outer life has been - and continues to be - transformed.) I love how you describe our bodies as “a direct channel to our spiritual self” and that you’ve included alcohol in this discussion. A connection that many of us just don’t see. A wonderful, thought-provoking read, thank you.
This one really hit me. When we dare to listen, our bodies tell us what we need to hear. (Ignore at your own risk.) The podcast was also exceptional. Personal, yet full of education. Illuminating. Thank you.
