With the thought of not being with those we love at Christmas, I wondered how I might help my clients. This seems very appropriate right now. There are losses and gains in this pandemic and Christmas cannot be ruled out as we wait to hear of the new rules for Chrismas gatherings.

Pause
Can we just pause for a moment or two? I know for myself, learning to inhabit my body initially felt like learning a new language or learning to drive for the very first time. But really what we are doing when we start to inhabit our bodies is mostly remembering what we forgot. ❍ Can you make yourself a little more comfortable right now? ❍ Are you feeling the support of the ground? ❍ There’s … [Read more...] about Pause
Neck pain.
Deeper meanings Listen to your body when it whispers, so you don't have to hear it scream. I often find that the cause of neck pain is often that we see the world through the mind and not the body. I have a little saying that helps me attune to my wholeness. 'Head meet my body!' Neck pain can be so tricky, and in fact, everything seems complicated when we have neck problems. Not being able to … [Read more...] about Neck pain.

Large Intestines and letting go,
Deeper meanings The intestines as a whole are one huge 25 ft tube responsible for the majority of water and nutrient absorption. Their job is to discriminate what to keep, and what to let go of.

Embodied self-care Sunday
Your nervous system has been working hard to adapt to this stressful and traumatic time.
