I don't have a special routine. I wake up, feed my little one and then go about my day.

I still see too many advertising and selling short term relief as nervous system regulation.

What happens and many end up doing is an endless list of things to start their day to get the slightest sense of calm.

Calm doesn't equal real regulation and capacity.

Capacity and regulation happens when you get proper education and learn about your body's stress physiology. Then you build a relationship with your body and move towards the activation, towards the unknown and towards the uncomfortable in small ways.

That will shift how you see yourself and the world around you. That will shift how you perceive everything you encounter.

So you can live life, go about your day and don't have to worry about a specific routine because you move through life with ease.

Love, Anna

These talks with my bestie are always so nourishing. Sharing my philosophical thoughts what trauma is.
It got inspired by a conversation I had with my dear friend who studied acupuncture and is now learning about the diaphragms.
Anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about here: Irene Lyon is talking and teaching about them in her SBSM course.
In my personal experience what trauma is, is the absence of movement or coherent movement in the body.
Think about your breath, your thoughts, your cells, your blood vessels, your organs and your energetic body.
I do not talk about it a lot but part of my sessions is the energetic layer I work with.
And the absence of movement can be felt right down to that layer of the body.

How about you? What are your thoughts on this?

In the beginning when you've built enough capacity to sense it might be that the only thing you feel is unsafety.

How the heck do you get from this to safety then?

Building safety requires you to be able to feel the uncomfortable without disconnecting from it.

It requires you being able to tune into the moment and being honest with yourself on what is needed in that moment (aka following your impulse).

Safety will follow when you can stay present again and again without wanting to change the internal feeling.

When having a complaint that you take into the practice space it is natural to look for that big shift of that complaint.
However what mostly happens when working with the body and its nervous system is that these shifts might show up in a different way than you expected.

You know that something is shifting when:

🍀 you are able to sense more than before
(for example sensing that you have cold feet or sensing that you are hungry/ you stop eatingwhen full)

🍀you are able to follow those cues of your body
(putting on some extra socks/ eating something)

🍀things that you were scared of before don't set you off as much anymore
(phobias of mice or spiders for example)

🍀you are able to set small boundaries
(getting asked to meet up with a friend but when the day comes you feel like you need some time for yourself)

These are just a few but there are many more things that might shift gradually.

So before you might see a shift in your symptoms/complaint there might be all those other shifts to look out for.

Any moment is the right moment to start something new!

Do you know that breathwork, yoga, doing sports, taking supplements or ice baths can be beneficial?
Did you know that it could also causing more harm than good?

The difference is getting to know your body and it's stress response.

Why?

When you get really good in sensing and getting to know when your autonomic nervous system is going into more overdrive you have a choice to stop whatever you're doing and take a different course of action. It is giving you agency.
However when you aren't able to do that and all you hear is this or that is good for you, you might add more stress to your body at any given time without realising it.

And that could be the reason why you feel great after .... (fill in the gap) or exhausted/activated/restless and you just can't figure out why.

Do you need help getting to know your body and it's stress physiology?

This picture is standing in my practice space as a reminder for everyone that enters, that nothing needs to be fixed.

Take that pressure off and move into the direction of inviting the parts that never got to be expressed to come forth.

It's gentle, yet powerful!

No fixing but a space to welcome all of you.

With curiosity,

With some humour,

With awareness.

See you there.

Louder for the people in the back!

The body doesn't want to be rushed.

More input doesn't equal a better outcome.

More input doesn't equal a faster outcome.

When it comes to the body, I have learned and witnessed over and over again that:

LESS IS MORE!

And the most transformation and AHA moments happen when I go slow, when I take time, when I give space, when there is a pause and the tiniest input. And if you dare to take that pause and listen, it isn't quiet.

That's when the body speaks loudest and you can hear clearly what had only been a wisper before.

Do you dare to do less? And what happens in that space?

You know it's easier to feel good when things are going according to plan...

but
..what if nothing works out the way you wanted?

25/05/2025

This saying was introduced to me by a friend of mine.

It is exactly that, wherever you go, there is your nervous system.

Although sometimes it can be beneficial to us to change the workplace or relationship, if nothing has changed about how we relate to ourselves and the world around us, which comes down to the way our nervous system is wired, nothing will change.

We can change jobs, relationships, clothes, the place we live at, we can try to change our thoughts or behaviours as many times as possible...
..however if it doesn't address the autonomic nervous system, we end up in the same situations over and over again.

The wiring of your nervous system can't be cheated.

The power to transform lies within your nervous system. Are you ready to look within?

Everyone is talking about safety but sometimes in order to be able to recognise true safety you need to be aware of what feeling unsafe feels like.
You might be thinking: I'm fine, I have a great life. I don't experience stress.

Until you crash. Again and again.

You might be thinking: I don't understand how that could happen again, everything was going well yet somewhere along the way you've missed those signals from your body and ended up overwhelmed or burned-out.

The reason for this might be that you have gotten so used to that 'stress' that you don't even recognise it as such. Maybe the moment this 'stress' started was in utero and then continued afterwards.

So to even recognise that you are pushing, that you are going over your boundaries again it is important what that energy of fight, flight, freeze even feels like.

And then you might come to realise that the majority of your actions were rooted in unsafety and that's why you keep repeating the same pattern.

Just a bit over a week we finished our second intensive of the scientuitive training in Austria.

Before we went I was a bit apprehensive as I was travelling with my partner and two daughters. I didn't know how it would be for me to take part in this training and simultaneously having to take care of our 4 month old in breaks and night times.

Let me tell you that it was a full program for me personally however so worth it.

This trauma training was rich and made me forget the apprehension I had felt before. There was laughter, movement, play and education.

I've cried tears of grief, from laughter, joy, from release and from the beauty that a seemingly simple exercise of 'passing through' could touch me so deeply.

Bravo to everyone involved.

Thank you for having had this vision and bringing it to life. Thank you for a new way of looking at movement. Thank you to the rest of the team and last but not least to all the participants for the laughs we had and for the dances and conversations shared.

It was truly nourishing on so many levels.

P.S. our dog Lilu was very excited when we came back home she showed a bit of sympathetic energy of running around wildly ;)
