When I feed her pleasure, she perks up, bursts with joy and is ready to party with the stars!
When I take her to the gym and lift weights, her muscles strengthen, grow and tone.
When I take her to a yoga class, she relaxes and becomes more flexible.
When life throws a curveball, I demand she shows up and steps up to the plate, and she does:
- She can operate on little sleep for quite some time (I raised four babies practically singlehanded, trust me I know what I’m talking about here);
- She slows down my digestion and puts a layer of fatty cells around my vital organs to protect me;
- She narrows my focus to only survival level problems;
When I keep going at a level that is unsustainable while having throughs like “This is too fast.”, “I need to slow down.” She listens. She comes down with a flu.
I might be uncomfortable through it, but I come out on the other side with insights, with integration, with new ideas and inspiration – it is precisely what was needed.
I went exactly through it this week, flu and all, and was immediately reminded of the deep wisdom of the body and why I do what I do in the way that I do.
Mind will sometimes fool you (or often, it depends on how well versed you are in decoding the story your mind creates) by saying you have to keep going, even if you really really need a break and would be a lot more productive after.
Body does not lie.
My body and I are a team. I love her and she’s always there for me.
We were not always simpatico, so to say.
The truth is I lived fully in my head first three decades of my life.
I did what I needed of course. I brushed my teeth. Took a shower. Had sex. But connection to my deepest realest truth was missing.
As a result I was constantly overthinking. Trying to manage and control too many things, circumstances and, to be completely honest, even other people.I was often running on empty and I had a lot of resentment about it. I had a whole lot of rules running my life, but somehow chaos somehow still reigned supreme or at least it felt like it. I had pervasive feeling of aloneness and being abandoned by others.
My awakening began with the birth of my first daughter. And exploded full force during a marital crisis few years later. I did not know what was happening to me at the time. I was looking to understand.
After years of talk therapy I learned incredible tools and techniques, that helped me transform many of my behaviors and issues, yet something still was missing. I knew body had to be included in the process of healing, but I didn’t know what that meant or how to do it.
I searched world over and learned from the top experts in the field.
Now I understand. I really get it.
Transformation isn’t complete or can last until it happened on the level of nervous system and primal brain.
We must befriend the body and speak her language.
Which is why in my coaching I use tools that create healing and transformation on the deepest of the levels possible.
I only practice what I stand 100% behind because it works.
“It’s like my body is thawing out and coming to life! Before I had sex to accommodate my partner, but now I want to have sex! I am excited and hopeful!”
“I am noticing I am drinking more water, moving more and being healthier without even trying. I am treating myself better.”
These are some of the things my clients have been saying.
You created an amazing life, but what would happen if self-love and care and sex stopped being a chore, but became a natural part of your day, and something you actually were looking forward to?
