Hollow Bone Somatics

I love the many colors

Harvested as many tomatoes that I could. I don't think my frost cloth will protect the last of my plants. So I guess two 5 gallon buckets worth will do. Lots will ripen and made into sauce and sandwiches, many will be fried up!

Still have onions, cabbage, collards, broccoli, carrots and beats in the ground.

This year was so full of abundance and I am so grateful.

This last month has been so heavy on my heart. Our world is hurting in so many ways. It is times like this that I turn to my garden. Thank God I have so many different ways to stay embodied, centered and regulated.

I couldn't love them any more. Took a breath in Estes this weekend. The sound of the elk in the background brought back so many memories. Colorado mountains hold so much magic for me.

Feeling deeply blessed for our garden this year. The day was spent making kraut and slaw!!

The human body as a recorder, holding all of our experiences of health and overwhelm simultaneously. There is a blue print in which our inherent health resides. Every experience leaves imprints in our nervous system, psyche, and physical body. When we experience something that is similar enough to those imprints we will have an emotional or visceral response.

These are imprints that happened yesterday, last week, 10 years prior and can date back to conception. Understanding these responses gives us a chance to have authority over our lives. Gives us a lens into our unique wiring and attachment styles, a deeper understanding of our internal experience.
These imprints are jewels to our inner workings and ultimately our freedom when we learn how to be WITH our experiences as an empathetic witness.

We are not our anxiety our bodies are in a state of dis regulation. We are not a fixed thing, rather an ever changing and unfolding being.

This last year has triggered many old imprints that I had worked on over a decade ago. They are showing me now that there is still parts to witness and integrate. Overwhelm that never had a place to discharge. Emotions to great to hold, parts of me that unraveled and stayed that way. I give thanks to he wisdom of the recorder, my body, always steering me in a direction of health, and wholeness.
When we can be WITH the old in present moment we can release the chains that bind us.
