POSTS STORIES REELS

We’re often taught that to shift something, we need to understand it first.

But when we keep searching for why we feel anxious, low, angry, overwhelmed or unsettled, we can end up feeding the story around the feeling rather than experiencing what’s actually happening in the body.

Sometimes the shift comes when we stop trying to work it out and simply notice what’s there with curiosity, without judgement and without an agenda to make it go away.

Feel it. Observe it. Let it shift.

This is a big part of how I work with emotions through the body , without having to keep talking about the past.

Today I almost succumbed to the sofa to numb out … but today I chose to nurture myself & I”m glad I did!

It’s not easy being with intense emotions or feelings but instead of pushing them away or numbing them, giving yourself support to be with them can help them move through. And that’s what being an Emotional Athlete is all about. #theemotionalathlete #tre #emotionalresilience #somatichealing #selfcompassion #healingjourney #nervoussystemregulation by @theemotionalathlete

Yesterday I sat with someone as a wave of health anxiety moved through their body.

Her mind was racing — scanning, predicting, trying to regain control.
So we didn’t work with the thoughts.

We worked with the body.

Feet on the floor.
Breath slowing.
And then gave the body permission to shake.

Those tremors weren’t something to stop or manage.
They were the nervous system completing a survival response that had been stuck as terror.

As the body shook, the fear moved.
The intensity passed.
And on the other side of that terror… there was calm.

Because when we learn how to allow the body to do what it knows how to do, it can return to a place of calm.

You don’t regulate panic by reasoning with it.
You regulate it by letting the body safely express what it’s holding.

That’s why I believe it’s more important to cultivate a steady place within that can meet fear & intensity without getting lost in the emotional storm.

Because only when we stop fearing the body’s sensations, can we allow its innate wisdom to return us to a state of calm, connected presence.

It took me a long time to realise that my way to emotional freedom was not trying to think my way there but through the felt sense of my body.

It took me many years to recognise the wisdom my body has to release what no longer serves me.

I had to learn to feel discomfort and become comfortable with the uncomfortable sensations, to listen to what they were letting me know.

The mind tries to make sense by attaching a story, the
body knows how to process and let go.

Off for a much needed recharge this week.

My body & nervous system is feeling depleted. I know taking care of my inner battery & energy are essential for my emotional wellbeing, so taking time out in nature with my loved ones is sure to give me the recharge I need. ✨

Friday mornings are for me & my body dedicating time to come to my yoga mat with @hollyhoodyoga .

I’ve not been for a few weeks for various reasons but today on my mat, I recognised how much my body was telling me how much it needed to move and stretch.🧘

Connecting with and letting my body move is such a vital part of my wellbeing, bringing my mind & body together. Moving my attention out of thinking and into feeling and moving with the body, creates more space and calmness. TRE® is another such practice which just so happens to accompany yoga beautifully.

My body feels lubricated and my mind feels more spacious. Thank you Holly 🙏🏻🧘✨

Bring on the weekend! 🙌🏻✨

I might be getting grey and old but I’m never too old to enjoy picking apples.

Apple picking today @blackmoorestate before the rain kicked in.

For me I think there’s nothing better than freshly picked fruit straight from the tree. There seems to be an aliveness, which is quite the contrast from my old friend the beige carb.

One gives me comfort, the other gives me vitality and both are necessary for my balance. And today it’s a case of allowing myself to experience both. Out in nature picking apples followed by a delicious roast dinner and collapse on the sofa to watch a bit of reality TV.

Isn’t that’s what Autumn Sundays are all about?

I can’t be bothered today. A real lack of energy.

I just want to eat beige carbs and watch endless amounts of reality TV.

I’ve always found the change of seasons difficult. Yes I love the colours of nature at this time of year, the crisp air, putting on my cozy clothes, but my body & system feel different.

I have a huge lethargy, like I want to hibernate until the Spring and everything feels like an effort.

I used to just power through, ignoring my body & usually ending in some sort of burnout or illness. I guess I had to learn the hard way to listen to my body - nourish not punish!

I know my system wants me to collapse and stay in the freeze state of zoning out with salty snacks & a week’s worth of unwatched soap operas - and yes I’ll do a bit of that today, but I also know some gentle movement will shift my state just enough to be with what’s here in my body that’s calling to be felt, expressed and shifted back into its natural state of flow.

I’m grateful to know how to navigate my feelings after years of being on that emotional rollercoaster.

Happy Friday! What week it’s been.

I’m ready for this weekend after several busy weeks of here,there and everywhere.

I’m feeling the effects of it all in my nervous system … I’m still feeling revved up & my body isn’t quite relaxing, like it’s on alert & not quite ready to let go of that pent up energy inside.

I’ve been running on the treadmill of life but now I’m off it, my body still thinks it needs to run!

And yes, for those who know me & what I do… my answer is “no I’ve not had a shake for over a week” and wow can I feel it!

So yes I’m ready for the weekend but not before I’ve shaken the last couple of week’s energy off.

And if you’re curious as to what I mean by shake it off (no not Taylor Swift jumping about), it’s TRE a neat little bio hack to bring my nervous system back into balance so my body can feel relaxed - 🔗check out the link in my bio to find out more.

Lights, camera, action.

It’s all go at @thewellhousebeech where I’ve been a “body” in a photoshoot as well as posing for my own shots.

What struck me is how lucky I am to be part of a practitioners group that brings such a variety of healing modalities to this area of Hampshire.

Having experienced a few moments together, as we held space for each other, I felt my nervous system settling & recognised how valuable it is to experience different things when it comes to feeling better within yourself.

Over the years I’ve discovered that a “jigsaw” approach to our healing can be a helpful analogy. We often need different pieces from different people at different times. And our jigsaw is individual to us.
