The Hidden Path to the Body's Wisdom with Dr. Mary Sanders

In this episode of Rebellious Wellness Lifestyle, I welcomed Dr. Mary Sanders, a medical intuitive and chiropractor with over 30 years of experience.

We explored how our bodies communicate with us through chakras, energy medicine, and intuitive healing. Dr. Mary shares her journey from traditional chiropractic practice to becoming a medical intuitive and offers practical wisdom on how listeners can tap into their body's innate intelligence.

I'm always intrigued by the idea--science really--that says our body holds on to traumas, big and small resulting in pain, anxiety, a constant feeling that something isn't right. Mary expands on this concept and emphasized that we can release these traumas and heal.

"You have access to all this information just as I do. And you don't have to go to school in order to strengthen those awarenesses.

Mary believes that we can practice listening to our body's messages with curiosity and compassion and get answers. She also strongly believes in the power of a meditation practice to expand our awareness beyond the five senses.

Accessing Your Intuition: Practical guidance for listeners on how to begin receiving energetic messages without specialized training, starting with expanded awareness through meditation.

Body Communication 101: Simple techniques for listeners to ask their bodies questions and interpret the messages behind physical symptoms.

Chakra System Overview: Introduction to chakras as energy wheels and vortexes that have existed in Vedic sciences for centuries.

First Chakra Deep Dive: Detailed explanation of the root chakra's connection to safety, security, trust, the adrenal glands, and how emotional themes of abandonment and instability can manifest as physical symptoms.

Brain-Body Connection: The surprising fact that 80% of information flows from body to brain rather than the reverse, highlighting the importance of listening to physical symptoms.

I'm all over this stuff lately more than ever. Perhaps it's the emotional climate we find the world in. Perhaps it's just my inner wisdom telling me it's time to get serious about the world I cannot see.

Why this chubby, bologna and mayonnaise sandwich eating child of the 50's ever ended up with a passion for all things health, fitness, and longevity is a mystery. I wanted to be a doctor as a child but my gifts were not in lab sciences but words and making science easy to understand. (I'm a science and research geek)
My soul insists on freedom and that drives the work I do with women. Freedom from disease, limitation, self-doubt--whatever form it takes--informs what I create and how I coach.
