Self Ties for Self Love: Tying as Somatic Ritual for Regulation, Reconnection & Reclamation

What if the act of holding yourself could be both art and medicine?

In this one-of-a-kind therapeutic workshop, we explore the healing art of self-tying, not as restraint, but as ritual containment, emotional regulation, and sacred self-devotion. Through guided somatic practice, trauma-informed theory, and symbolic intention, you will learn to use fabric or rope as a tool for nervous system grounding and inner reconnection.

This is not performance.
This is presence.
This is not bo***ge.
This is belonging—to yourself.

In this 2-hour workshop you’ll experience:
• A trauma-informed somatic practice rooted in Polyvagal Theory & Attachment Repair
• A safe space for reconnecting with the body through intentional tying techniques
• Exploration of inner parts, emotional containment, and self-compassion
• A guided ritual of self-holding to soothe, empower, and reclaim

Live: $44
Recorded: $33
When: Sunday May 25 1-300pm Pacific

In the realm of healing, the difference between introspection and reflection is both subtle and sacred, like the difference between diving into deep water and gazing at its surface for messages from the moon.

Introspection

Is inward-focused and often solitary. It is the act of looking within, observing your thoughts, emotions, and motives with curiosity, honesty, and sometimes discomfort.
• It asks: What am I feeling? Why am I reacting this way? What truth lives beneath my surface?
• Rooted in self-awareness and inner inquiry, introspection is often deep, private, and unconscious-pattern-revealing.
• In psychological terms, it’s akin to self-observation, often used in CBT, psychodynamic therapy, or journaling work.

Example: “Why did I feel dismissed during that conversation?”
*You pause. You feel. You go inward. You listen.

Reflection

Is more relational and integrative. It is the act of stepping back, looking at an experience, a thought, or a behavior from a broader perspective. It may include introspection but extends beyond it into meaning-making and synthesis.
• It asks: What did I learn from that experience? How does this align with my values? What does this teach me about myself and others?
• Often occurs after introspection and brings in context, compassion, or narrative reframe.
• In therapeutic language, reflection is used to process or reframe experience (common in narrative therapy, existential therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches).

Example: “That conversation reminded me of how I often silence myself to keep the peace.”
*You step back. You re-see. You find wisdom.

In Summary
• Introspection is the inward gaze. It dives deep, searching for root.
• Reflection is the outward spiral. It weaves meaning and insight into the narrative of the self.

Together, they form a sacred cycle of healing:

We introspect to awaken. We reflect to integrate. We transform through both.

✨🌕 The Super Full Moon in Aries was a powerful cosmic call to embrace bold action and ignite your inner warrior! 🔥 With my Aries stellium (Sun/Moon/Venus/Mercury) and Libra rising, this lunar event highlights themes of self-assertion, relationships, and daily routines. Here’s how the energy shaped my journey:

🔮 6th House Magic: With Mercury & Venus in Aries, focus on how I communicate my needs at work and tend to my daily rituals. Notice the stories you tell yourself around self-worth and productivity—this is your chance to rewrite them. 📝 Improve my energetic cleanses to ensure the removal of stagnant energy as prescribed by

❤️‍🔥 7th House Illumination: The Moon & Sun in late Aries light up my partnerships, bringing clarity to old emotional patterns. It’s time for emotional breakthroughs—embrace the dance between independence and connection. 💃🕺I have learned my lesson excitement can mask external validation & mirror a flight or fight somatic state so it’s time to learn somatic regulation for clarity in intuition.

⚖️ Libra Rising Balance: As my rising sign comes into play, explore how I integrate the fire of Aries with the harmony-seeking nature of Libra. Assert my needs while still keeping relationships in mind. ✨honoring my collaborators feedback but still embracing my authenticity.

✨ Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini Meets Venus in Scorpio Synastry ✨
Exploring our astrological charts can uncover unique dynamics in relationships. As a Libra rising with Venus in Scorpio, my relationship has taken on a deeper intensity recently, especially as Jupiter retrograde in Gemini challenges our communication flow. October not only brings spooky vibes but also raises awareness for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, something deeply personal to me as a survivor.

This period invites us to slow down and reflect on our relationship dynamics, revisit communication plans, and refine our connection. It’s about finding that balance between depth and lightness, passion and curiosity.

How are you embracing the astrological energies this month? 🌙

How are you showing up when you feel defensive? Has there been more tensions in your interactions? Let’s explore in the comments.

🌑Post Eclipse Introspection ✨

This eclipse lesson started October 2023. A year ago, I found myself deep in a trauma conference, tangled in imposter syndrome, navigating a functional freeze. My Shadow self clawed for validation, locking me in the narrative prison of being “broken.” Come 2024 and my promise—a year dedicated to Sacred Self Care, a full return to myself. Now, as a Libra rising, this eclipse pulls a mirror to how I show up in relationships, my personal growth, and body acceptance. As a survivor of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, these themes run deep.

Healing is not just an emotional release—it’s how you meet the world from the inside out. Disconnection isn’t healing; it’s just avoidance. Sacred Self Care means embracing all levels of BEing: medical health, physical vitality, psychological mindset, emotional fluency, social connection, and spiritual alignment. Most people only scratch the surface, but this eclipse? It called me to dive into all of it, to explore the fullest, healthiest version of me.

With Venus in Scorpio, and this eclipse nearing the South Node while make a square to Mars in Cancer, there’s tension in the air—how do we face conflict without losing ourselves? Especially when we live in a world where violence is too often the outcome. This eclipse, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, amplifies that internal dance. I’m reminded that how I navigate my inner world is reflected in every partnership. For me, honoring Sacred Self Care and aligning with my values of Integrity, Freedom, and Spirituality were just so kismet.

So I’m learning to dance with life, bringing Venus in my 6th house into harmony—turning each step, each tangible effort for health & harmony into something meaningful.
