Samatva - Finding The Balance

A year ago, I did not fully understand why knowing something was not enough to change it.
Done the inner work… the reflection, the conversations, the coaching. And yet, certain patterns kept showing up. The tightness before speaking up. The freeze. The loop.
This past year, I completed a beginner’s training in Somatic Experiencing, Peter Levine’s body-based approach to healing. Between the personal sessions, the demo sessions, and watching practitioners hold space so gently…something shifted. Not in my head. In my body.
That’s the thing about somatic work. It does not ask you to understand your way out. It asks you to feel your way through.
Swipe to see how it is different from talk therapy or coaching and if any of it lands, connect with me…[mindfulness, meditation, somatic awareness, somatic experiencing, coaching, therapy, healing]

Almost after 6 months returning to Thankful Thursdays… this feels like a natural next step to 6 weeks of mindfulness practices…
Slow, Spacious, Steady.

Lovely evening, spent practising with Jack kornfield’s Just like me compassion meditation, amongst the uncertainties, chaos and overwhelm all around…found moments of ease, playfulness, prayer and metta with family and friends…Mostly, I am sitting in maitri and karuna tonight- friendship and compassion, circling the table. 💛 [mindfulness, gratitude, meditation, compassion, playfulness, spaciousness]
