Experience Your Reliability

I officially launched my Somatic Coaching & Healing practice about a year ago. 

It’s been a wild ride at times. Watching my thoughts swing through an unknown forest of experiences and emotions. 

A few weeks ago I noticed, in a very direct way, how I often look outside, to experts for the “right” answer. Discounting myself in the process. 

What happens when the outside experts aren’t there for me? Gulp. I felt uneasy in my body when this question arose inside. 

I did some practice. Some Zapchen Somatics, and some other embodiment practices, too. Probably Zapchen Yawning. Probably some centering breath (thank you, Stanley Keleman!). Probably some Zapchen Blowing Raspberries. 

Before too long I experienced ground: myself, as body, grounded. I was in my skin. I opened into my energy. I felt my own aliveness. All signs that I was beginning to experience ease.

I realized then that me, as whole body, is expert. Body knows. Body is reliable. Body intelligent. Body alive and pulsing. 

When we return to our experience of ourselves as pulsation and aliveness, we experience our intelligence and our expertise. Our knowing. 

This builds resiliency, and sustains us through thick and thin. 

From my heart to yours,
