Unlocking the Body’s Messages: A Deeper Look Into Soul Speak

Our bodies are constantly communicating with us. In her book Soul Speak: The Language of Your Body, Julia Cannon explains that every ache, pain and symptom is a message from your higher self. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience, and when we ignore our intuition, the body uses discomfort to get our attention. By learning to interpret these signals, we can heal at a deeper level.

What Does the Body Tell Us?

Cannon describes how physical issues often correspond to emotional or spiritual lessons. For example, lower-back pain may represent feeling unsupported, while throat problems may relate to speaking your truth. According to Cannon, when we recognize these messages and align our actions with our soul’s guidance, we no longer need the pain as a wake-up call.

How to Listen to Your Body

1. Pause and tune in. When discomfort arises, sit quietly and ask what your body is trying to tell you. Notice any emotions or memories that surface.

2. Journal the message. Write down the physical sensations and any intuitive insights. Over time, patterns will emerge.

3. Address the underlying issue. Take loving action—such as setting boundaries, changing limiting beliefs or expressing unspoken feelings—to resolve the root cause.

By listening to your body’s language, you connect more deeply with your Higher Self. Combined with modalities like QHHT and Reiki, Soul Speak offers a powerful roadmap for healing.
