Everything is Energy
We all experience different seasons of challenge in our lives. It feels like, both on an individual level and collectively, things are particularly challenging right now.
The number one thing that has supported me is my capacity to allow energy to flow in my body rather than contracting around it. What does that mean?
It means allowing the wave of rage or grief to course through me fully instead of tightening my stomach, hardening my chest, and becoming small, tight, and frustrated or resigned.
Everything is energy in the body, and that energy is either flowing or contracted.
We all know the suffering of that contracted experience, where we feel stuck, limited, and deficient—often adding a layer of judgment or shame. In contrast, the natural flow of energy moves through us and opens us in profound ways—to ourselves, to others, to life—it feels more authentic.
I struggle to put this into words but I see it with my clients every day. When they learn how to allow a greater depth of sensation and energy to move through them they get bigger, they get qualities and parts and pieces of themselves back. They burst into tears at the remembering of who they are.
This simple "tool" and way to grow up is POWERFUL.
I cannot tell you enough about the power of having a consistent container that you show up and be a body in, learning, growing, and relating to life.......I think it is what we are supposed to be doing.
With everything that's going on in the world, and in your own personal life (it's not a chill time) it's important to have spaces and places to move that energy, to come back to yourself, to open up more freedom, presence and aliveness. Otherwise, what are we doing?
I hope you join me in growing your capacity to allow a greater depth of flow as we move through whatever may come next.
