Listening to your Digestive Patterns

Our bodies are regularly speaking to us. Slowly, over time, we can learn to trust our own awareness of our signs and symptoms. Below is a summary of digestive signs and symptoms. My hope is that this is a starting place to get to know what your tummy is telling you. 

It's not necessary to have all the symptoms to get the message that there is depletion, inflammation, or accumulation starting in your digestive system. 

These signs are an indicatino of what I refer to as your Current State (Vikruti in Ayurveda). Your Current State is a reflection of your current life energetics - from emotional to what you are eating.

All the energetics of what you are taking in interface with you, and you are unique. We all have constitutional (how we are uniquely made) tendencies - this is our genetic component. This is why foods and experiences have different effects on each one of us. 

And, it's also why we need to individualize our approaches to healing. 

Here are some ideas of healing approaches for the patterns above.

Of course, it's possible to have combinations of patterns. Here, we look at chronology to customize healing approaches. This is when you would likely want to have the experienced guidance of a practitioner.

Yet, you can definitely find the equinox of healing approaches for the combo your body is revealing, and start there. 

How do you know if something is working for you? Simple, your signs and symptoms start to feel better. That's your body telling you that you are heading in the right direction.
