Can you feel change in the air?

Here in the northeast, Autumn sets in. The winds shift, the temperature cools, the leaves fall. We are in transition, soon to peak in full color, then to release and let it all go.

If you struggle to release and let go, join me for my next conscious dance class, SUNDAY OCT 26, 2025. Sign up link in comments.

Beautiful inspiration as we move through the fall season. May the winds of Autumn help you release what's no longer serving you.

FACT: Thoughts are not facts.

The mind produces thoughts the way lungs produce breath.
They come whether you invite them or not.

Some thoughts feel urgent.
Some try to convince you they’re facts.
But a thought is only an event in the mind—
not a command, not a prediction, not a truth you must obey.

🌿 Today, try this:
when a thought pulls you in, silently say,
“Just passing through.”
No argument. No shame.
Just awareness and release.

Your job isn’t to control the guests.
It’s to remember you’re the one who owns the house.

💚 Follow Mindfulness Exercises for more gentle reminders like this.

Your nervous system takes cues in from the environment through sound, taste, sight, touch and scent. 👂🏼👅👀🤚🏼👃🏼

❖

It then creates a perception of these experiences which morph into thoughts in your brain. 🧠

❖

These thoughts then translate into beliefs about self/the world. 🌎

❖

You may think that your beliefs start with your thoughts in the brain, but in actuality, the journey to the formation of your beliefs starts through your senses and your nervous system.

In couples therapy, we talk about the role of the autonomic nervous system in relationships. In my view, I see two nervous systems sitting on my couch. Your nervous system helps you stay safe.

When it comes to your relationship...

❓ When do you find yourself feeling the most connected?

❓ When do you find yourself disconnecting?

❓ When do you completely shut down and stop engaging?

All three are 100% related to how safe you feel in your partnership.

Learning about the nervous system helps you understand your partner, yourself and the relationship you create together.

Feeling deep gratitude for the dancers that arrived on Sunday to my first conscious dance class. We found our feet, connected to breath and dropped in fully to discover how it feels to come back home to the self. Returning is a process we live into, again and again, to reconnect to our essence and our truth. Thank you for trusting me to dance that path with you. ❤️

Can you take a moment to find your shimmy right now? Can you shimmy your shoulders back and forth, left to right, up and down, forward and backward? What happens?

❖ Do you doubt yourself?
“I can’t, I don’t know how.”

❖ Do you shut down?
“No. I’m not participating.”

❖ Do you feel self-conscious?
“Ok but does anyone see me right now?”

❖ Do you become a perfectionist?
“Okay, give me the exact shimmy steps.”

❖ Do you fawn/people please?
“I’m shimmying but I’m also holding my breath.”

❖ Do you limit yourself?
“I’ll shimmy, but just a little bit.”

❖ Do you slip into performance?
“I hope everyone sees me moving right now.”

❖ Do you take yourself too seriously?
“That’s silly, I’m not doing that.”

❖ Do you make excuses not to engage?
“My back hurts, too tired, no time…”

❖Do you dismiss the exercise?
“That’s not going to teach me anything.”

❖Do you get insecure?
“Am I doing it right?”

❖Do you compare yourself to others?
“I can’t shimmy as good as Betty White!”

Your body holds many stories. It reflects your state of mind. Learn how to meet your body right where it is, in a judgment-free dance space, so that you can intuitively move through what’s stuck and access what’s possible. I trust that you will find, within yourself, exactly what you need.

I invite you to join me on the dance floor this Sunday, September 28th. SIGN UP LINK IS IN THE COMMENTS!

"If human walking is best described as 'controlled falling', dancing is even more so, and it feels great to save ourselves over and over again". ~ Caroline Williams
