ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO FIND FLOW IN YOUR LIFE?
ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO FIND FLOW IN YOUR LIFE?
Let me share a uniquely fun tip for you…
But first… a quick little background…
About 16 years ago when I moved to Australia, I was studying Integrated Body Therapies… I dived deep into bodywork, specifically trained deeply in, worked in and then eventually taught Myofascial Release therapy. For those who don’t know what fascia is or what that means… it’s your connective tissue. It’s what holds everything in your body together.
And the more I dove into it… the more power I saw in what happens when it truly unwinds… because in it… are stored your emotions. Tears, screaming, animalistic behaviours, laughter, peace, anger… I have seen it all release through deep fascial work… when a person truly surrenders to the work and allows the release… It’s a beautiful thing to take someone through, to witness and to experience.
Soon after that, I got into NLP and that unleashed my passion into mindset work and of course… deeper into the mind-body connection.
I have held the belief since then that what is in our mind is in our body and what is in our body is in our mind. It’s completely linked, always.
So… with that background let me share this tip to create FLOW in your life…
If you are feeling stuck… if you are feeling stagnant… LOOK TO YOUR BODY.
I love going to my flexibility class and working to improve my flexibility… as the more I improve my flexibility, the more flexible I am in life.
This week… @Hugh is taking a 3 day intensive training with Ido Portal. If you don’t know who he is, check it out… He’s created an incredible movement practice. This morning I asked if he was excited for day 2… and he said… “Yes, I’m looking forward to learning new ways to move.”
And… I smiled and responded… “Cool. Remember that as you learn new ways to move in class, your mind opens to new ways to move through life. Be willing to explore and be open to what shows up for you in this new movement.”
And whilst he completely agrees… he can often get very body oriented and not pay attention to the mind connection. We are perfectly perfect for each other, because he often has to remind me to move more and pay more attention to my body. (YES.. we are all human).
So… I wanted to share today… thinking about this magic of our mind body connection… a SUPER EASY WAY FOR YOU TO GET UNSTUCK. MOVE.
And… specifically… work in the sticky parts that don’t want to move… the parts that are inflexible. The parts that are always getting stuck or limiting you… Spend time opening them up. (safely, of course)
Because here is the thing… often what is stuck there… what is creating the pain… is not just whatever is going on physically… it’s the emotional thing attached to it. Remember… fascia remembers EVERYTHING… all trauma, emotions, etc… they get HELD. And in order for you to RELEASE THE PHYSICAL STUFF… you MUST be WILLING TO RELEASE THE EMOTIONAL/ MENTAL stuff. It goes hand in hand.
And I know. I used to have clients who would come for a massage and say… I think I got a whole lot more, because I worked with their emotional/mental stuff too. And clients that were on worker’s comp and had seen ALL THE people… chiros, physical therapists, counsellors, etc… they were still in agony, because of this piece… they didn’t get to this piece… this connection.
And when the person releases the emotional connection… the physical will fall away. You will find yourself unstuck.
So… if you have mental stuff going on… if you are feeling stuck in life… be willing to look to your body and see where you are stuck there… allow yourself to let it go and you will find freedom in both mind and body.
If you are physically feeling in pain… look to your mind and be willing to look deeper into the stuff behind the pain… what is your body holding onto? And when you can work through that and release that… the pain will go.
Play with this. I don’t often talk about this.. but it’s one of my deepest held beliefs and I witness miracles around this regularly when clients work with me on this.
I have seen pain level 9-10 disappear in moments, on a phone call.
I have seen years of chronic pain disappear in a couple sessions.
And… as I watch people in the gym in flexibility… not make improvements… STUCK. I so often want to go and say, let’s have a call… I bet there is something in your mind/body connection keeping you stuck. And it will be showing up in life too.
Many people will read this and be challenged by this. Some will agree. Some will nod and think… YES… that’s a great idea, Keri and unfortunately never do anything WITH IT.
PLEASE… Be the person to explore this. Please… don’t just read about it and say… yes, I’ll get to it later. This piece will change your life forever.
AND… if you want help being guided through this… no matter where you are at on this journey… let’s play. This work is so frickin powerful. This work will deepen your connection to self in the most incredible way. This work will take you places you may have never gone before because it’s uncomfortable to literally sit in the pain, on all levels. But when you do… life is never the same again. You can let it go from your body forever. And move forward in a powerful way. MAGIC.
I have space for 3 new clients. Are you one of them? Be willing to find your flow and create your freedom… mind and body. Connect with me by PM or comment below and let’s create magic.
