This Thanksgiving week, I’m reflecting on a different kind of gratitude — the kind that begins in the body. Gratitude isn’t just an emotion we think about; it’s a nervous system state we feel. When the body is bracing, rushing, or moving through familiar chaos, gratitude can feel far away.
But, when we slow down enough for the nervous system to settle, something shifts. Breath deepens. Fascia unwinds. Peace becomes possible, and gratitude arises naturally.
This is one reason I love Myofascial Release during seasons that ask a lot of us. Gentle, sustained pressure helps the body experience safety, presence, and stillness, the conditions where genuine gratitude can take root. This week, I’m grateful for every moment that your body chooses softening over survival. Wishing you warmth, steadiness, and spaciousness. 🧡
