Learning to Listen to Your BodyTalk with Julie Bolduc- EP031
Even the most practical among us would agree that stress has a significant impact on our physical health. The practice of BodyTalk is based in the philosophy that anxiety compromises our body’s communication system, and if we can learn to listen to our body, it will identify the missing links and help us restore the connections.
