Change the game of ‘change.’
Whether it’s the New Year, New You energy, the desire for something better or different in your life, or the deep healing need to feel more whole -
There is a tendency in Western culture to approach change with magnitude. A large uptick of exercise, nutrition curbing, or supplement taking. Utilizing our will from an empowered space can be highly engaging and rewarding. And for a multitude of reasons, it might not feel a suitable or sustainable strategy for us.
If / when the approach of big, quick, fast stimulus feels forced or leaves you depleted, consider the various ways in which your body communicates. By speaking directly to the lines of communication within; our nervous and endocrine systems, we inform the messengers of gentle suggestions towards the transformation / integration we seek.
Human nature is a reflection of earthly nature. Smells can become influences of mood alterations or enzyme production, breath can be used to soothe mind or stimulate physical energy, our touch can used to modulate tissue recovery or co-regulate relationally. These incredible natural functions of our human nature speak directly to these lines of communications; nervous and endocrine systems.
The awareness of why, what and how to communicate with our mindbody self can be helpful in the journey of identifying what we need. Variations of how this may intentionally implement these often will spontaneously arise when we become curious. The invitation is for greater space on how we interact with our mindbody when we are seeking change, or an experience of something other.
Here at Medisoma, our Somatic Integration incorporates touch, movement, nutrition, herbs, breath, rest, smells and sound in your experience. To provide a more cohesive means of communication to your whole-person. When both lines of communication are receiving cues from the environment, in slow, intentional ways, we find the path towards the change sought contains more ease.
