Body and Soul Wisdom

I've been neglecting my posts here, and, not surprisingly, neglecting my pleasure opportunities too. I slipped back into grind, hard, non stopping. Well-Being re-set for me, ie. Getting back on track, includes ... weekly Mindful Erotic Practise with a beautiful group of erotic explorers. I've been pulling up with brakes squealing every Friday, lately, out of breath, working to be present. My typical go to for well-being had no impact. It is time to upgrade my well-being game. Which looks like, this time: 1)Scheduling half an hour before Mindful erotic Practise to set the stage for my experience. 2)Returning regular dance to my life (RiseShine) with dancers online Monday/Wednesday/Friday. 3) stillness daily 4) no multitasking while eating 5) breaking up my pattern of "one hike of elevation weekly is feeling soooo good, I should add twice weekly, that's gonn be even better". Turns out once weekly is a sweet spot for my life right now. 6) allow prioritizing my social world and connections (and remember that Dr. Bonnie recommended that I make this a priority, when I look for proof that it shouldn't come ahead of other things). Breathing easier already.

First swim of the year, today, April 17th, in the ocean. Plus a SUP adventure around the bay and up the river. Compare today to this high wind day, recorded a few weeks back...... today was hot, sun, pure blue sky, calm waters.

As part of a healing journey, I have been tracking and fact finding about my early fitness journey. Understanding the harm caused to my body, mind, heart and soul. Learning that I likely had Rabdomyolosis in 1998-1999, at the height of my extreme food and training behavior, is disconcerting to say the least. And explains alot of what was going on with my health and body at the time. And some repeats of a lesser degree later.... Did we even know exercise induced or exertional rabdo was a thing back then? Tracking some records to help make sense of the experience and the body injury I went through. At the time, neither medical nor fitness professionals were helpful, when I was in crisis. There was no diagnosis, nor a recovery plan. One massage therapist helped me see the life and emotional contributers, for whom I am forever grateful. Given that I was on my own, through both choice and not having other options, I am honoring myself in how well I did take of me. At the time, I couldn't and wouldn't see what was happening, what I was causing in my life. And yet a bud of wisdom still choose healing. I have never given up, never abandoned the healing journey, the curiosity. It was trial and error, and I have found a way forward. I acknowledge myself with love and compassion for how I am doing now, with way more self awareness, self knowledge and tools. Damn amazing now actually!!! Facts can help. And I am curious to see how the Somatic tools, awareness, choices I make today and tomorrow will expand me even more. Sending love to you, whatever your journey.

I get to hug my mom soon. One year since we last touched or were in the same room. Thank you for altering Covid measures to be more human for our parents in their later years.

You know what's a good feeling? When you choose healing. When you include all the food groups and all the foods in your life.... When there is nothing to get wrong or right. When you feel satisfied at the end of meals and days - for real. When you recognize the mind-f*&! Self talk. When you eat what you want and enjoy every bite. When you realize that you never need to convince yourself that diet foods, replacements, or restrictive eating choices feel good, no really. When you love yourself as is, and accept your body as is. When you begin to choose from freedom, love. When you choose from - what do I truly want and how do I truly want to live?

A current client: I was unsure of what to expect with CEP that Lara was offering. I wondered...do I want to do "that" with other people. So, it was a real edge for me. Lara is welcoming, light-hearted and always with a smile creating the community space. She is open to any questions with acceptance, this community space feels like a judgement free environment. I have found CEP a time I look forward to at the end of my work week, a place that brings me back home, to my body, with a community of people willing and open to share thier own erotic edges and explorations. I no longer feel like I'm doing 'that' with others but joining into a self pleasure practice in a community that celebrates the joy of pleasure with me. Thankyou Lara for creating this container.

One of my first clients: Lara is a great coach. She is direct with her communication and she holds you accountable to what you say. She pushes you to challenge yourself and to follow what you know is the right direction for you; she also has a wonderful way of understanding what you are trying to say and is able to really recognise and acknowledge you for who you are.
