The gut. The throat. The thyroid. Walked into a bar….
Is there a connection between the lump in the throat and a constriction in the gut? My mother had her thyroid removed as it was hyper-active, my cousin has Hashimoto’s which I believe is a form of hypo-thyroid… my throat and thyroid speak louder to me than my gut I believe.
Maybe they are the indicator that is most familiar to me when something isn’t quite right – externally and/or internally.
My gut. My belly. I’ve got this pretty secure ring around my belly that may be muffling my gut feelings being communicated to my brain.
You know that feeling when your stomach or your gut goes up to your throat when you are driving down a winding, hilly road – if you aren’t paying attention as the passenger that woozy funny feeling will come out of nowhere.
Is my instinct in my gut? If my gut could write a story – what would it like to say? I’m noticing a bit of judgement coming through now, telling me I’m not writing a story, just a series of disjointed thoughts and questions – will I really want to hear myself read this aloud?
A tingle on the back of the neck. A bubbling tummy. Anxiety or instinct – the complexity of humanness can distort our knowledge and sense of ourselves so easily. We are unique because of our minds but need to work so hard to connect to instinct.
