Self Care Practices
The Right Conditions
Human beings are like plants. We do really well in the right conditions and poorly in the “wrong” conditions. It’s up to us to discover what the right conditions are for us to heal.
The Body is Innocent
We have been taught to distrust the natural intelligence of our bodies. We send messages of rejection to the body repeatedly and yet she continues to breathe.
Simple Sincere Sweet and Slow
The heart longs for the sweetness and sincerity of kind words, sensitive touch and merciful presence.
Are you listening?
Our physiology speaks to us through pain and although nobody likes pain there is absolute benevolence in the signals that say, “something is out of balance here”.
The Present Moment is Safe
If you notice places of tension in your body simply ask yourself, “is this tension necessary right now?” Just a gentle curiosity. No demand for the tension to release or let go. Be patient with yourself.
Chronic Pain and Anxiety
The brain and nervous systems react to prolonged pain by going into a fight-flight-freeze response. There are neurosensory practices that support the nervous system to come back into regulation.
Curiosity and Chronic Illness
Even if you are unable to leave your bed because of a chronic illness you can awaken curiosity. It’s impossible to be afraid and curious at the same time. Curiosity is a beautiful antidote to fear.
Digesting Christmas Overwhelm
The habit of abandoning ourselves in stressful situations is very strong. We shift habitual reactions and dissociation through repetition of slow and gentle responses to stress and overwhelm.
