MESSAGES FROM NATURE

Alone, but not alone....

You're never really alone. There's always Nature.

You are Nature, so when you connect with it, you connect with all of who you are, as well as Unity consciousness.

In your world, many are disconnected and feel an inner void. Then they seek to fill themselves via a connection with another or through identification with a group or label.

But, individuals can move on or die. Groups can dissolve, or their personality can change so that they no longer align with your values.

Who are you without these externals?
Really? Who are You?

Spend time connecting with Nature so you can know your essential self and be whole and vibrant.

Be brave enough to step away from the externals..... even just for a little bit regularly..... and reconnect to Nature and you. Rediscover, remember who You are.

Then you'll never truly be alone.

Healing is feeling. Feeling is healing.

You can't ignore the physical sensations, emotions and energy of stress, trauma, and/or old injury without it affecting you.......it causes tension, pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, stomach issues, etc.

With Barnes' Myofascial Release and energy work, a supportive healing space is created to allow you to feel safe enough to release the 'issues in your tissues' and heal on all levels of your being.

I don't just do this work, I live this work.
And I've supported the healing process for so, so many for the past 30 years.

If you're tired of feeling lousy and are ready for a gentle, supportive, caring path to healing, reach out or visit my website to make an appointment.

Driving in the car this morning, I became aware of the all too familiar feeling of tension and unease in my body, the swirling energy around my head.
Stress, overwhelm, a bit of anxiety.
Ugh. I don't want to start my weekend feeling this way.

So, I place a hand over my heart and I invite myself back "home".
I feel my hand over my heart. I feel my heart under my hand.
And I breathe.

After a minute or so, I sigh. My indicator that I'm shifting from flight/fright to a more relaxed state.

A minute or so more and I feel a gentle wave of emotion move through my body.
Sad. Scared. Frustrated.
Ahh, there you are. Let's sit together a bit.
Not trying to change anything. Simply noticing. Acknowledging.

I feel my body slowly settle into the seat more. The tension slowly draining down and out.
A couple of more sighs.

Then, I feel the deep tiredness.
Ah, yes. The worry you've been carrying for weeks, months has been a heavy load. Of course, you're tired. Trying to hold things together, keep things going, tending to all the things alone.
Let's sit together, and, for at least a little while, put that burden aside and rest/recharge.

A wave of relief, of gratitude. I don't have to do this all alone. "Someone" with whom to sit, share the burden.

Still with hand over heart, I sit.
Still, quiet, listening.

More sighs.
More softening.
Becoming more present in my body and present moment.
More connected to my inner self, where there is wisdom, peace.

I still don't know what the answer is, what will lessen the burden.
But, I know that I can navigate the situation, the future, more gracefully when I'm not stuck in the swirling head space of worry. But, rather when I'm connected to the wisdom of my body, my inner knowing.

I feel more at ease, more relaxed, more optimistic, more confident.
Now I can enjoy the weekend!

May you each have a lovely weekend as well!

How does stress show up in *your* body?

Nervous System Reset!

Recently I've been feeling overwhelmed with my to-do list. It seems when I cross one thing off, two more get added on. My time has been limited lately, so when I do have time, like today, I tend to want to tackle everything at once.

I end up feeling frazzled and stressed.

That started happening this afternoon. So, I chose to stop. Pause. And ask myself what I needed.

I wanted to be in Nature.

So into the forest I went. Surrounded by the soothing green of leaves and moss. Enchanted by bird song. Lulled by the brook.

And laying in the cold water, feeling it swirl all around me is a great way for me to come back to my body and the present moment...... where I can tap into the resources available to me to be productive rather than spinning in circles.

How do you reset?
