The body isn’t merely physical;
it is psychic, it’s electric,
it’s the temple where Spirit
is able to incarnate.
Every muscle, every cell,
every breath participates
in the ongoing story of our becoming.
What we cannot feel or
express doesn’t vanish — it waits.
The nervous system,
unlike the thinking mind,
doesn’t keep time in a linear way.
When an experience overwhelms
our capacity to process it — a loss,
an absence, a subtle betrayal — its energy remains suspended within us, sometimes for years.
In the language of trauma
and somatic psychology,
this is the realm of implicit memory.
The body holds these traces
until the right relational field
and internal conditions of
safety allow them to surface.
The tightness in the throat,
the heaviness behind the eyes,
the weight in the chest,
the shakiness deep in the belly —
these are not random or devoid of meaning.
They are the body’s way of remembering.
Thank you for these beautiful words
They describe what I see happening every time
we go on a Breathwork journey.
It’s an honor to hold space and witness you.
❤️
