It\u2019s a practice that I\u2019ve developed for myself over many years and that I\u2019m keen on teaching others because of the powerful benefits of this simple act.<br \/>\nTo give you an example, I\u2019d been waking up for several mornings with one of my hands feeling a bit swollen. I\u2019d rise and it would be the first thing that grabbed my attention.<br \/>\nIt certainly wasn\u2019t painful, but it was noticeable.<br \/>\nCould the swelling be the deep scratch on one of my fingers that my cat gave me? <em>(This would be inflammation of the acute sort, helping my body to heal a wound in a natural and manageable way.)<\/em><br \/>\nOr could the swelling be a sign of some internal inflammation expressing itself in my joints, a signal that I need to redirect my course of action dietarily or nutritionally? <em>(This would be inflammation of the chronic sort, the underlying or silent type of inflammation that can express itself externally at the slightest provocation.)<\/em><br \/>\nDon\u2019t get me wrong. I\u2019m not talking about narcissistic or paranoid navel gazing here. Those questions I posed run through my mind in a matter of seconds and don\u2019t lead to any dark holes of thought or conversations with my therapist about my impending death because of the slight perception of swelling in my left hand.<br \/>\nJust last night I was reading an older New York Times article called \u2018The Science and Art of Listening\u2019. It was a piece about the brain, by the neuroscientist Seth Horowitz, and the different neurons that fire when we listen as opposed to when we hear.<br \/>\n<em>Listening as opposed to hearing in effect is what happens when an event jumps out of the background enough to be perceived consciously rather than just being part of your auditory surroundings. The difference between the sense of hearing and the skill of listening is attention\u2026<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Hearing, in short, is easy. You and every other vertebrate\u2026have been doing it for hundreds of millions of years. It\u2019s your lifeline, your alarm system, your way to escape danger and pass on your genes. But listening, really listening, is hard when potential distractions are leaping into your ears every fifty-thousandth of a second\u2026<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Listening is a skill that we\u2019re in danger of losing in a world of\u2026distraction and information overload.<\/em><br \/>\nThe New York Times piece made me think about the art and science of what I\u2019m calling <em>listening-in.<\/em><br \/>\nWhen we listen-in, we\u2019re in tune, in harmony, in communication.<br \/>\nWhen we listen-in, we can respond as one who has truly paid attention.<br \/>\nIn order to listen-in we need to develop our understanding of what we\u2019re listening to, our awareness of what it means and the care with which we can respond. Listening is different than hearing in that it requires attention, yes, but also perception.<br \/>\nSymptoms don\u2019t just become a blur that we hear if they\u2019re loud or painful enough, but instead a crystal clear message begging a reply.<br \/>\nI share more about <em>listening-in<\/em> during my interview in The Thyroid Secret docu-series (it\u2019s true, I was honored to be included on this A-list of Functional Medicine experts who are helping to share this important message.)<br \/>\nOn the second day that I woke up with the slight swollen feeling in my left hand I increased my anti-inflammatory herbs and re-checked my recent food intake for some of the foods that might be more inflammatory to my particular system but which I still indulge in on occasion. (It\u2019s this other practice I have called <em>living.<\/em>)<br \/>\nAs someone managing Hashimoto\u2019s I know that inflammation is a quick reaction in my body to any infliction. I also know how to hear its subtle cries and respond in turn.<br \/>\nNow that I think about it, when I woke up this morning with the sound of heavy rain out my window, there was no sensation of swelling at all. Thank goodness for my practice of listening-in.<\/p>\n<h3>Your action steps this week are easy!<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Practice the art of <em>listening-in<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nWhat messages is your body revealing through symptoms or pain?
