In my morning embodiment practice yesterday I felt a playful lightness come through as I shimmied my shoulders💃. In that moment, I not only felt the joy of playful, innocent expression, I also felt a deep sadness at how this aspect of myself had been dampened, how the world quietened her down, how she learned not to be “too much.”
If I’m honest, I think I lost this part of myself quite young. My nervous system spent much of my life in fight or flight, stuck in survival mode, constantly doing, not able to fully relax, unconsciously scanning my environment for danger and safety. It makes complete sense that play would be pushed down when survival takes over.
I could feel how this part of us, this part of our feminine, simply wants to have fun. She wants to dance, to sing, to play, to create, purely for the joy of doing so❤️🔥. Not for an outcome, not for a performance, not to achieve a goal, but simply because it feels good 🙌
It felt like a remembering… and also a grieving. A soft acknowledgement of what had been suppressed, and a gentle invitation to let her be again.
I share this as a reminder to embrace your playfulness and to create safe spaces for her to express herself, slowly, gently, and in her own way.
Journal reflections:
When did I learn to stop playing or to make myself smaller?
How does my body express playfulness when I feel safe?
What helps me feel permission to be light, silly, curious, or expressive?
How can I nurture my playfulness in small, everyday ways?
You don’t need to force playfulness. Often, she arrives quietly when she feels safe enough to be felt.
