If you have trouble finding the sensations, no need to worry. That’s happened with about a quarter of the people that I’ve taught body communication to. It may take a little more time, but you can get it working. Your body may have found, at some point in your life, that these default responses were ineffective at getting you to take care of your body the way your body wanted you to. As a result, your body may have completely abandoned activating these behavior-directing sensations. In some cases, your body may have switched to providing alternative responses, such as aches or pains. In other cases, there is no noticeable, reliable alternative communication method being employed. Either way, it’s not hard to get it working again. | If you have trouble finding the sensations, no need to worry.

One of my friends had an issue like this when I taught them body communication. They tried to get their body to respond in their hand, like I usually taught people to start with. The sensation, however, wasn’t the normal, light tingly sensation. Instead, it was an ache. It wasn’t even in their hand. The sensation appeared in their arm. It was extremely unusual. They later tended to use their leg for these responses, as the sensations were easier to trigger and use in their leg, for some reason. It was a reliable way to query, but not ideal. A few years later, they did work on and quickly fix this issue, resulting in normal sensations working rather than having to rely on these pain sensations that their body had been using. Their body needed to run a rebuild to get it working. | One of my friends had an issue like this when I taught them body communication.

The next lesson topic will teach you how to get information from your body. If you have trouble starting, continue to attempt to trigger and watch for the response sensations. However, only do so until you have triggered a rebuild. These are noticeable by a sudden need for reduced lighting, a reclining posture, often with elevated feet, and an aversion to particular behaviors, likely what you were doing at the time. Light sensitivity is usually the easiest to spot. It may feel like sensory overload, or it may just feel like you can’t think about this anymore. This rebuild state may last a few minutes to a few hours. If this rebuild is expected, it is often better to trigger it before going to sleep, as rebuilds are conducive to sleeping and sleep does not interrupt the rebuild process. | The next lesson topic will teach you how to get information from your body.
