Engaging Body Wisdom classes, held biweekly continue. Everyone is welcome. Please connect with me if you have any questions about joining. This week we explored New Year's intentions through a meditation which we followed up with sensing into our bodies to clarify our next steps. A poem was shared, as usual, to end the class. Set up a discovery call. This class may just what is needed to support you through these unusual times. https://calendly.com/joyfuljoyfulwe/discoverycall

Merry Christmas to all. My wishes for you this season is that you find a new tradition that surprises and delights you. Let us be kind to one another overlooking differences. Let us see the person behind the strong, heated opinions.

I’m speaking Wednesday evening. Meetings are on zoom. Please join us. Shiraz is an amazing practitioner. He always shares something interesting.

Have you ever heard me say, "feel into your body to see if feels true to you"? Our bodies hold so much wisdom beyond what we can imagine. This dynamic vessel that we live in knows every nuance of our lives. Our bodies guidance is a plumb line for truth. This is why I honor the body in my work as a Massage Therapist and BodyMind Coach. Please give me call if you would like to know more about how I use this plumb line of truth to guide you into living more aligned.

Navigating the inner landscape

The body says yes

"You have a right to go through things and take all the time you need. There is no time limit to dealing with deep stuff, so don't go setting your alarm clock,... as if you need to be somewhere else soon. This is sacred, holy... your rebirth, your maturing; discovering the very reason why you are here, as you. Don't cheapen the process with deadlines. Your journey of healing has its own mystery, its own intelligence, its own perfect and creative way..." ~S. C. Lourie See more

I believe that we all have the ability to self regulate our inner landscape. I teach this process in classes, coaching and/or bodywork sessions. For those of you who have participated in my Listen To Your Body classes, you may remember the structure I teach: Four Steps To Joy. Briefly: Step 1:observation of body sensations and or signals. What they are and where they are? Being still enough to notice by focusing attention on the body. Step 2: Learning tools to help the bod...y shift and to understand the information your body is giving you. Step 3: Recognizing when you are unable to shift it on your own. Reach out to a friend, myself for coaching or bodywork, a medical doctor or another therapist. Step 4: reviewing and celebrating your progress. How are you doing moving through those steps? See more

Please don't feel that you have to provide a solution to my problems. I just want to be heard. Powerful post about holding space for each other as we all face loss, change and uncertainty in the middle of a pandemic.
