The terms ‘gut’ feeling or ‘gut’ intuition are not accidental ones. The area of the body between the heart and the groin which encompasses the stomach and solar plexus is particularly sensitive and could be said to have its own intelligence. Indeed, the stomach and solar plexus contain two of the seven main energy centres or chakras that are integral to the teachings of the Indian Yogic system as discussed in Chapter 3 (see diagram). What is more, on a physiological level this region of the body contains a mass of nerve-endings and, while it is quite different, it could be said that it rivals the area of the brain in its complexity. Is it possible that each of us has a brain in our body as well as in our head, and that we have a body-mind or body-intelligence to match?

Certainly as a hands-on healer and a counsellor who teaches self-healing techniques I would have no hesitation in asserting that the body has its own intelligence which can be employed and stimulated for healing to occur. It would make sense for each of us to develop that body-intelligence at an extrasensory level to bring us guidance, inspiration and clear information about our own state of health and the well-being of others.

When I give hands-on healing I often help my clients to develop a special dialogue between themselves and their own unique physical intelligence. I guide them into a state of relaxation, and channel healing energy through my hands, my voice, my heart and my mind. Within my own body I frequently receive an impression of my clients’ physical state. I register the location of blocked, overactive or depleted energy in my clients’ body and I encourage them to explore that part of their anatomy. Often they will develop a clear impression of what their body needs to help restore itself, and together we can work with that information to stimulate positive change. Sometimes the solution is purely physical but often it is a combination of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual approaches that produces the best results. Information about the best path to healing is usually forthcoming when both the healer and the person seeking help can consult their individual body-intelligence and ‘gut’ awareness.

It is in the gut that we tend to experience pleasure and pain; the pleasure of being loved and accepted, perhaps, or the pain of loss or rejection. It is also in the gut that we often experience a feeling for the environment we are in or the people we meet. Walking into a house with an unsettled atmosphere may leave us with an unsettled feeling in the pit of our stomach, while meeting a person who is genuinely kind, honest, friendly and pleased to see us will invariably leave us with a warm glow that is quite tangible.
