Do you ever feel like your body is trying to talk to you? Maybe you've noticed a crunching sound when you walk upstairs or when you move your shoulders. Today, on Mindful Monday, I want to give you some cautions and some confidence about what to do with those noises.
For a long time, I noticed a little crunching sound in my knee every time I walked upstairs. One of our viewers shared that she hears a crunching sound when she rolls her shoulders around. Intrigued by these experiences, I decided to look it up on Google.
What Are These Noises?
According to what I found, these noises are often caused by air bubbles in your body that make little pops, creating the sounds you're hearing. It's important to note that while I'm not an expert, and you should always check with your doctor, my understanding is that if these noises are not accompanied by pain, they are usually not a cause for concern.
If the crunching is associated with pain, it's essential to address it. Pain is a signal from your body that something might be wrong. Consulting your doctor is the best course of action to ensure there's nothing serious going on that needs attention.
If the sounds are pain-free, consider them as your body talking to you. It can be a reminder to stay mindful of your body's movements and to appreciate the complex ways in which our bodies function. Every sound, every sensation, is a part of our unique physical experience.
Remember, your body is an incredible machine that sometimes makes noises. Pay attention, but don't stress too much if there's no pain involved. Have a wonderful day.
Namaste.
