Grateful for You - https://mailchi.mp/c3f2df322920/grateful-for-you

Hey folks let’s make room in all that activism, working on ourselves and meeting responsibilities for LAUGHTER. I love those days when my orientation is laughter because I walk around with a bemused lens. I am oriented around laughter and therefore it happens frequently. Let’s LAUGH. It heals.

This year, to honor my relationship with myself, speak self love through action, and commemorate my birth, I am buying myself a gift. I have been following a female artist for some time, and I am purchasing two of her drawings which, for me, symbolize the healing energy that moves through our hands, and the importance of loving the inner child to heal. They will be displayed in my treatment room. My heart is singing just thinking about it!

I shared this with a client recently, and she said, "Oh yeah... I call those 'To: Me, Love: Me' gifts. I buy one for myself every year too!

Please join us in "To: Me, Love: Me" gifting. What is something that would make your heart sing? (And it doesn't have to be your birthday!)

Today I whisper this sentiment into the summer sky for us all.

This is process is experiential. We must actually do it to receive the benefits of it! Here we go...
1. Take a partner... a friend who you are seeing or a family member.
2. Invite them to play a game guaranteed to elicit smiles.
3. Stand and face each other.
4. Think of someone (could be a person or a pet) who really really loves you.
5. Ask your partner to set a phone timer for 2 minutes.
6. Begin speaking about yourself as if it was your chosen person who loves you describing how much they love you and why. Allow yourself to step into their shoes and describe all aspects of the relationship and who you are to them to your witness, even if your witness already knows this person.
7. When the timer dings, take a moment to feel into your body. How does it feel to be so loved? What sensation do you notice in your body?
8. Switch roles if your partner would like a turn!

Loving ourselves the way others love us is one of the top ways to foster healing, high vibration and resilience. And you don't need to buy anything to do it.

Love you!

Our bodies are resilient miracles. Sure, sometimes they do not behave the way we would hope. Their breakdowns and needs do not always align with our timetable and desires. When a healing crisis happens, we are launched into fear, leaning into intervention even more. But what if everything our body was doing was a process to move ever more completely towards healing? What if we listened and trusted that our body knows what it needs? Do not give your power and knowing away. Make space to listen. Pause. Lean into uncertainty. See what messages come from inside. Repeat.

Stay soft. Stay open. I know it’s probably too vulnerable to do it all the time because the world feels sharp, but as long as we have certain places and practices that allow us to feel into and move our softness, our bodies will remember.🤍

At “The Body Now” retreat on Whidbey Island at the stunning Whidbey Institute, facilitating a site specific exploration in the old growth forest. Each sense drank in the environs and reflected back in movement. Then we did improvisational honoring dances in a site as others witnessed our connection.

Aware of and grateful for the potent learning and healing through the body, presencing and movement.

“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”

- C. Joy Bell

Joe Dispenza said this at a workshop I attended recently and it actually made me laugh out loud because it is so NOT how I have been operating. It’s as if NO has been a bad word. Can you relate? Even so, when Dr. Dispenza said “NO is a complete sentence”, I LOVED IT.

If you are like me and need to tag on umpteen words when you garner the courage to say “no,” let’s remember the unapologetic spirit of this sentiment and remind ourselves that saying “no” can be saying “yes” to ourselves. “No” doesn’t have to be impolite; it can be an affirmation of your aliveness and where you want to put your energy. Choose YOU. Say yes only when you feel it.

I love Joe Dispenza and his work so much, I’ll be sharing more of his oft repeated sentiments on this page. Because what bodyBLOOM Wellness is all about is uncovering what makes you come alive and accessing all the tools to support your body, mind and spirit to create the life you want to live.

Let your connection with the natural world buoy your heart and heal you.

I wish
when you are lonely
or in darkness
I could show you
the astonishing
light
of your own
being.

Thank you to for capturing this on her travels. Turns out it’s the foundation for all the work I do so of course it made me cry.

Keys to healing: Are you aware of the young you that resides inside? What is s/he asking for? What does s/he need to feel safe? Delighted? Seen? Once in a while, take that little one into your arms or play in a way
s/he would like. Embrace the whole YOU. Mother yourself. 💛

Be mothered. 🧡

In my experience of working with diverse groups and individuals, the two key components of healing and maintaining vibrant health are heart coherence and self love. Of course there are other pieces to the puzzle, but what you eat and how much you exercise, for example, has little effect if you aren’t practicing self love and doing the things that bring you joy and foster gratitude. Heart math Institute reminds us that “Heart signals have a significant effect on brain function, influencing emotional processing as well as higher cognitive faculties such as attention, perception, memory and problem solving.” The brain is waiting for it’s instructions. Let your heart guide you to health.❤️

Gave an embodiment workshop called “heartSPACE” to yoga teacher trainees today from the Northern Colorado Yoga School.

It was like a cool sip of lemonade on a sunny summer day… DEE-LISCIOUS and RICH.

We explored heart coherence and self love as the two key components of healing and practice, and embodiment as the thread that ties it all together!

Thank you to school founders Courtney and Adriana for inviting me to be your guest! 🙏🏼

Had so much fun offering therapeutic massage to hard working teachers at Mackintosh Academy in Boulder today. Such a sweet community and lovely group of humans!

Here’s to all the teachers! We treasure you! 🌸🌷💛

Beauty. Why move?
