The Remedy in Resonance: Trusting Your Body's Wisdom During Times of Change
Sometimes, life presents decisions that feel destined, not because they are meticulously planned, but because they resonate at the deepest level of our being. Our move to Costa Rica is one of those stories.
For a year, my partner and I explored, researched, and contemplated our next step. We were preparing for a significant life shift: relaunching our work in service to the world and hoping to begin a family. Yet, despite all the exploring, Costa Rica wasn't even on our radar. That is, until I returned from a work trip and said to my partner, "It's time to go." Without hesitation, he replied, "Costa Rica."
The moment he said it, I felt a full-body resonance, an undeniable knowing. It was as if the scattered pieces of our year-long + search suddenly connected. How had we not considered Costa Rica before? It wasn't unfamiliar; the country had woven itself into my life at pivotal moments through people, places, and experiences. But now, it was calling me forward with unmistakable clarity.
Within a month, we listed our house. Against our real estate agent's advice, "It's the holiday season, not the best time to sell, sell lower", we set our price and trusted the process. The house sold in a week. Just over a month + later we landed in Costa Rica. That same day, we discovered we were pregnant.
The unfolding of this chapter has been nothing short of miraculous. Costa Rica has brought a deep sense of alignment and wonder, reminding me of the extraordinary possibilities that emerge when we listen to our inner knowing. When we bring intention, vision, and consistency to what we are calling into our lives while standing at important crossroads, magic happens.
When Your Body Knows Before Your Mind, following full-body resonance without knowing all the answers requires trust, courage, and a willingness to step into unfamiliar territory. But the rewards? A life rich with lessons, growth, and experiences that shape who you're becoming.
During moments when everything feels uncertain, when you're considering a career pivot, relationship evolution, personal transformation, or geographic relocation, your body often senses the right direction before your mind can rationalize it. That feeling of expansion, rightness, or inner peace becomes your compass when logical analysis falls short.
How to Tune Into Resonance in Daily Life
Tapping into this sense of resonance starts with cultivating awareness and quieting the inner critic. Here are some practical steps:
Create Stillness: Dedicate a few minutes each day to sit in silence. Tune into your body and notice where you feel tension or ease. Resonance often feels like an expansive "yes" in your body.
Journal Your Thoughts: Write down the choices or ideas that excite you, even if they don't seem logical. Notice any patterns or recurring themes.
Practice Self-Compassion: Replace self-doubt with curiosity. Instead of asking, "What if this doesn't work?" ask, "What if this is exactly what I need right now?"
Take Small Steps: Start with tiny, resonant actions. If an idea feels right, explore it without committing fully. Small steps can build trust in your intuition. Do it where it feels easy…turn right instead of left when it feels right, call the friend who crosses your mind, or order the dish you feel drawn to instead of your usual choice. These simple actions can strengthen your connection to what feels true.
Reflect on Past Alignments: Think back to times when you followed your gut and it led to positive outcomes. Use these memories as evidence of your ability to trust yourself. As you build more proof, you develop deeper self-trust.
