So, we would like to say a word here about the Somatic Reflection Process to use to learn to listen to the gut instincts: The only way to truly understand what our gut instincts are is to reflect on the feelings in our gut and go back in time with our gut feeling reflection to an early childhood time when life was simple and our feelings were not so buried by our logic. When we do the work of this gut reflection, we find that our gut responses have always been there and hold the memory of the impact of experience upon us. As counselors, Bob and I have gone through this process with hundreds of people and no one, to our knowledge, has ever regretted the experience. Often times, the person was very willing to try this process because they were experiencing a gut knot or profound emptiness. But also, we used this method to deal with all adult problems in the here and now, including career confusion and decision-making, relationship problems, personal loss, grief, shame, returning vets, trauma, etc. The gut instinctual feelings of emptiness and fullness-often confused with the feeling of empty and full in terms of the need for food—will always be concerned about the needs of the person for the balance of acceptance/connection and for control of one's own responses or the freedom to respond naturally, while the thinking head may be working in behalf of everything and everyone else outside of us. Upon listening to the gut voice again in our lives, the two brains may finally work together, and this serves the individual and the community. Listening to the voice of the gut and working to use our thinking head in consort, brings our body-mind together and opens the way of the heart and the higher intuitive mind.
