EMBODIED….

I am really tired right now, so lets see how this goes. I don’t want to go to sleep and forget to write some things here about my experience on day two of training.

We start out the day with some embodiment work. I cannot tell you how much this has worked for me. The connection to my body has been so lacking and I never knew this for years I started realizing this about three years ago actually.

I started noticing my disassociation from my feet first, and then everything else. What was my body trying to tell me? I definitely wasn’t listening.

Our first session we do a NEUROGENIC/TRE YOGA CLASS. It is amazing in all ways and hard to explain, but suffice to say I had some very wonderful movements with me feet and ankles and toes. I just let myself explore my feet. Left right and up and down. The tendons, the bones, what did they feel like? I really felt my body. I closed my eyes and just felt what was going on inside my body. Earlier, in the embodiment exercise we did first thing we touch different parts of our bodies lovingly. Connecting finger tips and taking up space. When we go to the practice I treated the session just like that. I explored what was happening in my body. What felt good and what felt bad. Also, what was just uncomfortable.

By the time we go to your afternoon/second session which was a TRE CLASS. I was very relaxed and feeling very present and alive in my body. I just let my body shake the way it needed to shake and let go. When we were done the instructor asked us to think about what was feeling good in our body. The first thing that came to my mind was my FEET! My mind was like no way! LOL! Is it really my feet? I actually felt my feet. They tingled and they felt SO GOOD. Like I hadn’t felt them in forty years and I am not kidding. They feel so good right now…so alive and there in my body. Not just something that carry around with me to get me from here to there, but an actual part of me again. That for me…is a miracle.

The other miracle was that during both sessions I played with placing my hands on different parts of my body. Lower belly, Solar Plexus, and my chest and heart. I felt my energy on my body helping me to heal as we were shaking it off/tremoring. I could feel my energy even without placing my hands on my body, but just hovering over it so I played with that. When I did that my body either shook more or less, but it was comforting and not anything that I was afraid of. It was me taking care of me and listening to my body. It was also me listening to my spirit through the process and relaxing through it all.

In two days I have learned so much….

I have learned that I need to listen to my body.

I have learned that I can trust my body.

I have learned that our bodies are more intelligent than I even thought! Miraculously made we are!

I have learned that nothing is wrong with us…it is not a ‘wrong’ thing. What it is…is a natural response to the trauma in our lives. It is a rewiring. A relearning of what we learned to do because of this or that and it can be changed. We just need to feel and deal. That part is not always easy, but the pay off is great…remembering who you really are!
