In this episode, Justin explores the connection between physical pain, intuition, and emotional well-being. Opening with Albert Einstein's powerful quote, "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift," Justin dives into how our modern reliance on logic can sometimes overlook the body's deeper signals.
Drawing from personal experience with a recent eye infection, Justin illustrates how physical discomfort may serve as more than just a symptom—it can be a reflection of emotional or mental strain. He references When the Body Says No by Dr. Gabor Maté, which examines the impact of stress on physical health, and Does Your Body Lie? by Luis Martins Simoes, which explores the body’s hidden messages. Justin also discusses Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life, a classic guide to understanding the mind-body connection.
This episode encourages listeners (after checking with their doctor) to embrace intuition and consider the possibility that their bodies may be guiding them toward healing beyond the physical. With tools like journaling and self-reflection, Justin shares how to pivot your pain into a path toward joy, ease, and fulfillment. Listen in to learn how to integrate both medical and intuitive approaches for a holistic view of health.
