So many women say to me…
“I’ll just have to live with the pain”
It breaks my heart because they don’t feel like there is anything they can do for their pain.
When I listen to their story I hear many things, small that that can add up to big changes.
I KNOW their pain is stress and nervous system based in their stories they tell, like…
✅When I sit for long hours sewing, I.e. something that I love 🥰 , I don’t have pain.
❌When I’m rushing to get out of the house and see I’m going to be a few minutes late for an appointment, my pain gets worse.
❌When I watch my adult kids struggle and know there’s little I can do to help, my tension increases.
✅When my family is gathered enjoying time together, the work of cooking and cleaning doesn’t both me at all.
✅When I’m sitting on my front porch listening to the birds with my cup of coffee…no pain.
❌When I get cut off in traffic, I can feel the tension rise.
✅After a guided meditation where I can feel my nervous system and body relax, neck tension eases too.
❌When I hear stories in the news of injustice at the hands of the US president and his fledgling right-wing administration, my jaw clenches and neck tenses.
✅After a day of gardening and lifting, I may feel muscle soreness but not pain. It’s a good hurt;)
Helping women pay attention to what feels good is as important to noticing what hurts.
I help them create more of what they love and respond intentionally to things that create stress, tension and pain.
At first you might not notice these sensations. They are subtle but with a practice quiet and gentle movement is a way to get good at noticing. And once you notice, you’re on your way to true healing!
A life with less pain is possible ❤️🩹
Join me on Zoom tomorrow to ask if some of what you feel could be brain and nervous system rather than joint/muscle/bone/disc.
