It’s about returning…
Because many times throughout the day, we may disassociate from this ‘ground’ when we are overwhelmed with feelings, or obsessed with our thoughts….
There are sensations (bodily), emotions (energies), thoughts or images at any given moment.
Then, these form the stories we tell ourselves or we make meaning or interpret our lived experiences.
So, how do we return to the body? Our ground of being.
It’s individual of course.
But normally it is through our senses, by focusing on something, expanding our awareness,
such as listening to birds, looking at something beautiful, smelling something nice….
It is also through self touch - hands on the heart or belly, tapping our legs or feet to the ground
and also, turning our attention inward- to our breath or heart beat
You can do any of these things at any time and throughout the day.

For a few seconds or minutes or more.

Enjoy ☺️

What do u do to get grounded?

Yes and the body by western standards has either been victimized or weaponized. We go to extremes to manage as with most trauma. We sexualize the body to gain superficial control or look enticing or follow societal trends. Or we develop eating disorders or extreme medicinal methods to combat our weight in search for beauty.

Instead of listening to our body.

Sensations that develop over time, feelings that turn into moods, moods that turn into thoughts and thoughts that begin to develop a self- narrative.

It’s been awhile since I posted a photo of me. Thats me on the right photo bombing my cousins picture.
I’m a mix of many parts and ultimately a very wholesome and practical person. A psychologist deep in my heart. A body with a spiritual side. Or maybe beginnings.
I see children. 😊 That is, in my practice. lol. And adolescents. And their parents, mostly women. Dads too.
I see children because I relate strongly to their felt senses and curious nature and struggles to navigate this world. Whatever world it is.
I see children because I want to assist them in figuring things out without being molded into something before they know what is happening to them.
I see children because maybe my childhood was fraught with an awareness that was overwhelming and confusing and perplexing. And my adolescence was even worse. Although no one really knew.
I see children because I want to help parents in the venture of being one - of figuring it out in this messy world and we can learn together.
I see children because they teach me and they teach us many wondrous things. And I can redo my childhood over and over and stay a child in my inner most deepest part. ❤️
I can play as well. You can’t take that away from me. Ever. Psychologically speaking, play is the freest and most powerful way to go forth and grow into our true nature.
