We make the path by walking it

 There is a saying that the only way out is in.

Our bodies are essentially a place for transformation. Healing takes place, when we can connect the vast intelligence of the body with that of our mind.

Our bodies tell stories; our muscles hold memories and our tissues pulsate in patterns. Sadly we are socialized to learn a more dissociated view of the body and to dismiss our sensations and feelings. 

 Modern living is hectic and puts our nervous system in a constant state of survival base stress: fight or flight, the consequences being as Thomas Hanna calls it, “ a sensor motor amnesia”: forgetting our body’s needs for pleasure and its capacity for vitality.  

“It can feel very hard to perceive the body as intelligent when we are so used to ignoring it”- Jill Hayes

Indeed the most supportive action we can take, is to begin listening, inwardly. 
Not always easy, but little by little, building tolerance for sensation. We can trust again. Feel the security of the ground and grow from our challenges.
