Gentleness…

It’s the subtitles that make the biggest difference.

We do not necessarily need big cathartic processes to have a ‘breakthrough’. In fact, often these pushy processes reaffirm the emotional wounding you are trying to heal.

So what’s the alternative?

Emotional Health Care;

Embodiment.

Breath work.

Gentle touch.

Artful guiding.

Sacred space holding.

Safety.

Softening.

Vulnerability.

Connection.

Intimacy.

In fact, the profound shifts might seem so subtle you might be left to wonder ‘did I do it right’ or ‘was it enough’?

The mind loves to nut it all out.

But, the body is the teacher.

Today I witnessed some beautiful healing of very long standing and deep relationship trauma blocked in her nervous system.

What is trauma? It’s simply left over, old emotions we never allowed ourselves to feel fully at the time of any challenging or painful incident. We all have it.

I guided her with gentleness and spaciousness to feel slowly each layer. She held herself and breathed. With each breath we simply trusted in her body. Allowing it to move and digest the old emotions. She was profoundly healing herself.

I’m reminded again, the medicine is in the body. The nervous system knows the way to return to balance when we use the tools to do so.

The time of returning to simplicity is here.
