<b>Conversing with your body</b> involves learning how to communicate with your body in a reliable manner, without interpreting vague signals or making assumptions. Reliable communication has two components: clear-cut action intentions that your body can understand, and clear-cut sensory responses that direct or discourage the clearly intended action. If you intend an action, your body will understand that action intention. If you pay careful attention to a single body part when you intend that action, your body can respond with behavior-directing sensations that encourage or discourage that intended action. | |||
The following are lessons on how to get this communication working, and the associated difficulties and risks. | |||

*If you think something is poisoned or bad for you, your body can respond negatively to it when it would normally respond positively to it. This does not, however, affect your body’s need for what it is responding positively to. It just blocks that particular source of need fulfillment that you think is bad. | *If you think something is poisoned or bad for you, your body can respond negatively to it when it would normally respond positively to it.
