Solitude

Your body is meant to be the safest place for you to live but so many of us leave our bodies at the point of trauma or a painful event (big or small, all that matters is it hurt) as a way to turn off the intensity. 

Food-restricting, over-exercising, binge-eating,  using substances, over analysing and reverting to logic over emotions and intimacy avoidance are all ways we can “numb out” to pain.

Being in the body means we are present and can feel through whatever is within us, without a ‘numbing agent’.  For some of us, this is one of the most difficult things to do - to let ourselves surrender and let go of control.

A lot of our fears release out of our bodies and cause us to form a belief that it’s not safe there... but our bodies are our temples. It’s vital that we learn to build a sense of security and inner-safety so we can thrive and learn openly and authentically receive love.

Being in the body means more pleasure, more laughter and play, more aliveness and deeper connection to ourselves and others. To get there, we must learn to get comfortable with the full spectrum of emotions and reframe our ‘negative’ feelings into ‘necessary’ feelings.

Seek out a loving space for you to come home to your body.

Breathwork, meditation, sound-healing, dance workshops, doing shadow-work, bodywork and coaching are all tools you can draw upon.

You have the capacity to move through whatever may have been left unhealed, whatever pain or memories may arise.

Being in your body is the gateway to embodying your power, intuition and clarity.
