November is a time for deep gratitude for the year and what has been built and accomplished. It is a time for getting ready for the winter rest that is to come.
I have found that at times I have skipped or missed the gratitude, the celebration of what I already have, just focusing on the next step instead. It’s a weird thing at times to stop and say “look how amazing I am, this life is, etc” especially when it can feel like the world is spinning.
When we submit to ALL parts of the experience and give gratitude this allows for a completion to occur in the body. There is a natural flow that returns. Otherwise we can create a block or dam within our system that keeps us from deeply resting in the winter. This month we explore what gratitude feels like at a subtle deep level and submitting to all of what life has to offer.

The feminine energy of openness allows our bodies to receive. In many ways it’s like have our green light on in messenger saying “hey I’m available to be contacted”. That doesn’t mean we will be, or need to be, but it signals to those that are attuned that connection is welcome. Sometimes we aren’t even aware of what signal we are putting out into the world. Other times we are putting out a signal that might not be connecting to what we really want and then we get confused about why this is happening.
All of this occurs on a subtle nonverbal energetic level. When attuned to- it allows us to have choice and to create conscious connections. There is so much being said underneath the words. As we are open we are asking for presence. So if you haven’t been experiencing the presence of someone you would like; (maybe even your own) come play with the somatic practices regarding openness and see what you might find out!

I was in a client session recently where she was recounting her long list of physical symptoms she has been experiencing ranging from blood sugar issues, fatigue, back pain, irritability etc. Yes she had already been working with functional medicine and traditional medicine. Things had improved but she still couldn’t understand how everything is all connected.
Cue somatic nervous system work and DISCERNMENT. What is mine vs what is someone else’s. When our nervous system goes into a freeze state and is not allowed to move through the stress cycle all the way it changes our physiology and over time these changes express themselves loudly. What she had not realized is all the times she was told she was too much, too loud and to stop she then internalized this and it became her voice. She then continued to become her own internal oppressor and her body is now saying NO in the way it knows how- physical symptoms.
She didn’t realize she could discern me vs not me and then make a choice from that awareness. What if our bodies aren’t meant to be controlled but EXPERIENCED?
This is what we work with in somatic circle. Learning discernment, playing with desire and boundaries, experiencing our own wisdom. Come join us this next Tuesday!

What does it mean to trust?
To let go without knowing what the next outcome will be. To stop the endless gripping pattern of body tension that is screaming and aching to have some semblance of control. To soften and melt to allow yourself to be transform. To be vulnerable enough to give permission to yourself to be held in a way you have been longing for your entire life and didn’t know it.
Trust is vulnerable, it’s raw, it’s scary, it’s real. And it is not without boundaries or edges. It is also earned and not just given. It takes time and practice.
This is what we practice in somatic circle. To work our edges. To make love to our self doubt so much it transforms to confidence and connection. It’s a place of play, exploration and discomfort. Come find your edges with us!

Bonnijane Monson, DPT is a physical therapist who has specialized in pelvic health for almost a decade. Her blending of western traditional therapy techniques and non-traditional methods have earned her a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and open-minded physical therapists in her region.
“I started down this road because of my experience with significant post-partum trauma. The experience forced me to look into non-traditional methods of healing. My exploration of these methods led me down a road of being able to blend the physical therapy principles that I had learned and studied in school and in clinics with the methods that I had started discovering with the guidance of teachers and literature. My desire shifted from wanting to treat the physical symptoms of a person to treating the entire being of a person when they walked into my clinic. Someone with pelvic pain doesn’t just need their pelvis or hips looked at, I have to look at their entire body, their past history of emotional and physical trauma, their mind-body connections, the way they view themselves and the world. I have to view them as an entire individual. Going through this journey of growth and challenging my own beliefs has led me closer to being the type of therapist that I’ve always wanted to be. One that can help others heal from within.”
Graduating Brigham Young University in 2007 with a bachelors in Athletic training, Bonnijane went on to earn her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Utah in 2010. Bonnijane completed an internship at Duke University focused on women’s health and then went on to be mentored by one of the leading women’s health physical therapists in northern California for more than two years. Bonnijane returned to the University of Utah as a Women’s Health therapist where she helped to significantly grow their Pelvic Health program. She has gone on to become certified as a hypnotherapist is order to address the emotional components, including trauma that may be contributing to a physical manifestation.
Bonnijane is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy in the State of Utah. She is certified in trigger-point dry needling, Cellular Release Therapy (CRT), and Advanced Level P-DTR Therapy. She is trained in visceral mobilization, NueroKinetic Therapy (NKT), Graston Technique, and other advanced pelvic health specific trainings.
Bonnijane is married and is the mother of two small children. She lives on the bench of the Wasatch Front so she has easier access to the local mountains. She enjoys hiking, biking, soccer and anything outdoors she can find time for. Between discovering the state and national parks of Utah, chasing toddlers, continuing her education surrounding healing, and her personal meditative practices, Bonnijane considers herself a busy (but balanced) practitioner.
