Your Body Is Speaking

Your arteries are the life pathways of your body. They receive the fresh, oxygen-rich blood directly from the heart and carry it outward — into the finest branches, into the fingertips, into the toes. With every pulse beat you feel them. They are the only vascular system that audibly throbs. They have pressure. They have rhythm. They have an unmistakable mission: outward.

While veins return the spent blood and capillaries manage the fine exchange in the tissue, arteries have one single task — they carry what is alive from the centre outward into the periphery. They are messengers of vitality. They are what goes out from the heart and flows into life.
