Once you start approaching your body with curiosity rather than fear, everything shifts.
Bessel A. van der Kolk
It’s been my experience that everything starts with loving the body. We can do all the meditations, see all the healers, and drink all the green juices we want, but if we’re not willing to deepen our own love and acceptance for the body we were given, not much else works.
When we start to drop societal expectations and work with the unique template of our body and it’s many shifting seasons, something magical happens…we create more room for the Soul to live fully within us. Suddenly we’re more in touch with our intuition, our true essence, our buried dreams, and our previously blocked creative life force.
The path to a more joyful, less painful life is in and through the body and it’s my honour to be your guide.
WILLPOWER VS WILLINGNESS
The problem isn’t willpower alone, it’s how we view it. If we see willpower as something we have to summon, we’re making it this elusive and perhaps even finite resource that’s eventually going to run out when we realise we’re not superheroes, when we can’t do it all, be it all and see it all.
TRAUMA & THE SOUL: FEELING SAFE TO COME HOME
We can literally feel cut off from any sense of depth, compassion or love for ourselves or others, simply because it’s always been too scary for us to go to these places. Up until this point we’ve only known the shallows, pain, and perhaps everything that isn’t love.
WHY PRACTICE GENTLENESS?
It wasn’t until my nervous system forced me to surrender to burn-out that I began to open to the realisation that gentleness is each human being’s inherent and powerful nature.
