Speaking from the Body

Lately I’ve been feeling into the difference between speaking from the mind versus speaking from the body.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

 Mind-only speech

= fast, slightly disconnected, maybe anxious or overly intellectual.

 Body-rooted speech

= slower, resonant, textured, trustworthy.

You become the embodied channel of what you’re saying.

It’s subtle, but the difference is profound.

When you speak from the body, your words don’t just land — they resonate.

They carry the texture of your experience, your presence, your truth.

It’s not about being performative, or even polished. It’s about letting your words rise from the deeper well, where your knowing lives.

 Try it:

Before you speak today, feel your feet.

Breathe low in your belly.

Pause, and let your words come from that place.

You’ll feel it. So will they.

When you speak from the body, you don’t just talk, you land.

Take a moment today to let your words rise from the place where knowing lives — not your head, but your heart.

What’s it like when you speak from the body?
