A short YouTube wellness monologue (speaker Mihail Pautov) advising listeners to learn to listen to and trust their body’s intuition as a guide toward healing. The speaker emphasizes that distinguishing reaction vs. intuition and craving vs. need takes practice, and argues that every cell is oriented toward balance and healing, so supporting the body with good habits enables its natural tendency to recover.

What did you learn from connecting to your body? I learned to trust an authority. That is, that always has my best interest in mind. When we start listening to our body and trusting the intuition that emerges from it, all of a sudden we're tapping into a teacher, a guru, let's say a guru that is always focusing on our health and well being. Every person has the capacity, maybe not at the very beginning because there's practice and discernment. It's not something you can just do right away. It takes. Because how do you know the difference between a reaction and intuition? That takes practice. How do you know when it's an addiction? Is this a craving or is this an authentic need? That takes practice. That takes understanding your body's language. But over time, when you connect to your body, this becomes your teacher, this becomes your guru. And that's powerful because this always has your best interest in mind. Do you know how I know that for 100%? Because every cell in your body has the same exact intention and programming. Every cell in your body is moving towards healing, moving towards balance, moving towards thriving. That's the only intention that every cell in your body has. So if we learn how to trust your body, if we learn how to trust our bodies and understand that message and we say, hey, I know the body's taking me that way, so I'm going to trust it because I know that it's moving towards healing regardless.
