I love that Alice struggles with uncertainty and then learns to trust herself. How can you come into more alignment with yourself today?

It can sound so simple but as we practice noticing many of us find how much we are stifling. What do you notice in your physical instincts right now? Can I take a moment to get in contact with this way of knowing? How much do I rely on thought (mine or others). Let’s check in with the body. #somatics #bodytherapy #hakomi

Taking a moment amidst this chaotic and scary time can help us ground enough to be our most effective and whole selves. Come back to your body. Ask a loved one to hug you while you breathe together. Invite your child to imagine your exhale has paint in it and imagine repainting your living room together. #breathe #somatictherapy #therapy #families

Healing. The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society. In this groundbreaking work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of body-centered psychology. He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective... agony doesn't just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans - our police. My Grandmother's Hands is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not about the head, but about the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide. Paves the way for a new, body-centered understanding of white supremacy - how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system Offers a step-by-step solution - a healing process- in addition to incisive social commentary Resmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, is a therapist with decades of experience currently in private practice in Minneapolis, MN, specializing in trauma, body-centered psychotherapy, and violence prevention. #therapy #somatics #blacklivesmatter #healingfromracism

Slow down and listen to your body's wisdom. (Photo by: Craig Whitehead)

"The silence of grief attacks your body...It is so heavy that it is almost like life slows down until everything pauses. Every time you move and every time you speak, the silence is amplified." -Christina Rasmussen. For those who are going through grief, whether a death or the loss of a relationship, I highly recommend 'Second Firsts.' It is written by a counsellor who studied and wrote about grief for years and saw all the flaws in our academic understanding of grief when she lost her husband. Grief is demanding. It won't allow us to avoid it for long, it will continue to submerge us until we are ready to face the pain. Collecting the wisdom from both sides, she wrote this book.

"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tightly wrapped in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom (Anais Nin). This is the element of freedom (Alicia Keys)." To the new beginnings in our lives.
